Thanks! I guess we'll just have to wait. Does RGS issue a report book or do they hand out a piece of paper? This is my daughter's first semester in school, so we don't know what to expect.

To be honest, I don't know either. This is DD's first year in school. The mid-year results were posted on iNET, so I just saved a soft copy.

How will the eoy result be tabulated? Will it include result fr the earlier semester? Anyone has any idea??

Yes, the overall GPA for each subject will take the earlier marks into consideration. EYA is only about 30%-40% weightage of the overall grade. The remaining 60% are from the earlier assessments. There is this assessment file that you can get from inet. The file shows the weightage and assessment components by subject. I have been using that file to keep track of my daughter's grades. So with the return of the EYA, I could compute her overall grade for each subject. In fact, most of the results are returned except for Literature. We have already computed her overall GPA.

The e-report will be released on 1 Nov but the report book will only be given out when school reopens next year. I remember reading this from somewhere.

Thanks! I hv found the weightage info on inet.
Is the result for UNSW SCI is included as part of the EOY computation ?

What are the different types of RS projects?


CmPs,
CAP
IVp
OM,
what else?


I heard applying for this is even more complicated than CCA.

If you are offered one that is your 2nd choice, can you reject if you are offered your 1st choice later on. I know this is quite impossible as it will complicate matters.

Can Senior Parents here please advise what is the best way to go about it.

Thank you so much!

I am not a senior parent or parent of senior girl

I know the audition results of OM and F1 have just been released. The girls have to decide by next week and work will commence soon. Some RS will only be opened for application next year. So if a girl has accepted OM or F1 now (being her second choice) and then get her first choice say in Feb 2014, I think it would be too late to withdraw from OM or F1 by then.
