Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) [*IP]

[KynaEstralov]

Hi all,


I'm an RGS-girl-to-be, and if all goes smoothly will start my time at RGS next year. I was just wondering if any of you know where to get the school uniform (whether it is available at Bibi & Baba's or we have to wait for the vendor), what is a required purchase (tie, name badge, etc.), and when to get the school uniform.

The full uniform list and address of the vendor, as well as information on the different parts of the uniform, are greatly appreciated.

TIA!

:thankyou:

My dd is in RGS.


I heard that some IP students sign up as private candidates to take the Malaysian O levels equivalent . Does anyone have any information or links on this?

Also, for students in RGS who take HCL, they do not take "O" levels CL in Sec 3. Does anyone know if they will then take both CL and HCL in Sec 4?
My son in HCI takes O levels CL in Sec 3 and then takes HCL in Sec 4.

I’ve not heard of the Malaysian O level.

As for HCL, the girls only take the HCL O levels in Sec 4. No CL O levels at all.

Hi jtoh,

Does HCL O levels have an oral component?

Not for this year's O levels. But I believe the syllabus is changing and an oral component may be introduced. Maybe the parents with kids in lower sec can confirm this.

what is the rationale that they are not taking CL O levels?
that's puzzling.

Any drawbacks?
what if the girl fails HCL? Then will be left with no CL O levels??!!

Can sign up for CL O levels as well?

Maybe you should ask the question why is there a need to take CL O levels?

If you pass CL O levels (without taking HCL O levels) you still have to take Chinese as an H1 in JC. If you fail HCL O levels, you still have to take H1 Chinese in JC. If you pass HCL at O levels, you're exempted from taking HCL in JC.

No difference whether you take CL O levels or not.
