33mama:

do you know how many dsa places are normally given each year for RVHS?

Typically, which cca has the most places given for dsa?

Hi there,
I took dsa into rv in 2011 thru academics.
Basically 3 cats
Leadership
Sports
Academics

Abt 70-90 ppl in my year got thru dsa.

Which cca would be our schools niche area,
Is wushu and badminton.
But more ppl get into rv thru wushu, my Advice is that your son/daughter must have some prized achievements and such, or their primary school cca is wushu. So for that must plan early.

Not sure if they accept other types of cca cuz we focus more on those two.

OH YEAH RV OPEN HOUSE IS THIS SATURDAY!!!
PLEASE COME, OUR SCHOOL IS AMAZING!!!
It's from 8.30 to 12.30 pm


Any other appeal enquiries or any other enquiries based on the s1 posting would be gladly entertained.

Good luck to all my p6 juniors taking their results slips tmr
Peace out

Hello I am a P6 student this year. I am going to take my results tomorrow. I would like to ask you why should we choose RV compared to other Elite schools? Just asking because I have an interest in RV so I want to know whether it is worth it to get into RV

We try to look at things from many angles.
Perhaps you can also ask why you should not choose RV.

Well hai there!:)
RV is a well rounded school and we have students with talents in different areas. Rv is also an autonomous school thus we try to strive for the best in our Chinese language.
Honestly I didn't think that I would be going to rv but after 2 years of the rv experience. I'm glad to have chosen it.
The teachers here will guide you through your learning path and will nurture you. If u have a specific talent, they will groom you as such.
As a student, the teachers in rv are quite approachable, they arrange specific lessons in order to help in in any way you can.
Ofc this is rather biased since I'm an rv student.
But I wouldn't air other schools dirty linen in public and speak hateful things about them. Desperately wanting you to come to rv instead of some other school.
No, I'm asking you if u think rv suits you, that's the whole point of an open house, if u choose to attend, I'm sure the students there will be more than happy to assist you.
In the end it's all up to you.
If you choose rv, the rv family will definitely welcome you:)

Hi! My dd loves RV, but she is not strong in Chinese. Got a merit in HMT this pale. Can advise if kids weak in Chinese can handle HCL? I heard there students need to score min B4 for HCL in yr 1and yr2. What is the % of students retained becos they couldn’t achieve this minimum? Pls share.

I don't think the child is retained just because he/she cannot achieve B4. I think it is still a conditional pass unless the child flunk many other areas too.

Early secondary school period is a suitable time to build up language skill ability because as one goes to higher levels, the content based material becomes more heavy and one will be very short of time to read for leisure. Language ability is something that will benefit you your entire life. In contrast, most of us usually forgotten most the content based materials after leaving school for many years stepping into the working world.

Hello!
B4 is the required minimum for all years until y4 not just y1/2.
You won't get retained if u get a c5/6 but if it's consistent then maybe.
You will get an immediate retain if u score really badly like a e8/F9.
It will be based on your scores of subjects other than cl as well.
But if your Chinese is not that weak then I suggest maybe u can try out.
However if your Chinese is ccmi then I would advise against choosing rv.
As far as I'm concerned, only abt 34 ppl of my batch couldn't achieve this but they were conditionally promoted. None actually retained.
I'm weak in Chinese tho, but I try my best, and each year I improve.
I guess if u think u can improve in Chinese then go ahead.
I would advise taking Chinese tuition tho, it doesn't help much.
If u need extra help then approach your Chinese teachers, believe me, they will help you practice.
I had a really nice Chinese teacher so is as lucky I guess, he gave me lots of zuo wen topics to practice and such.
Hope this helps
