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.

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.

The supplier (Sapura) issues a new set of prices and specifications every year. You could try to ask the school admin if they can give you some info, but my guess is that you will have to wait until the new price list comes out. I had last year's somewhere but seem to have deleted it. Maybe someone else will have it?

Mandatory to use Mac. The options are Macbook Air or Macbook Pro. Last year, there were 4 options with varying specs, and prices ranged from around $2K+ to $3K+. Includes 4 yrs in-school technical help.

$2K - $3K to get a pc is alot. Any MOE funding if purchase from school?
