      Although I did not sense school put too much efforts on Chinese, the average score of PSLE chinese last year is 90+ (Mainstream). :evil:
      .
      Average score of PSLE Chinese is 90+? Are you sure? I don't think MOE reveals average scores of students in individual subjects. Perhaps you meant that 90+% of RGPS students scored A/A* in PSLE Chinese? Those are stats that MOE and the school will release.

        You are correct, I checked the information, it is 90+% of RGPS students scored A/A* in PSLE Chinese.

          Dear Eunice,


          A)
          How abt the CCAs? What are their core CCA? Choir?
          All (P1 to P6) CCA info, is available on school website :-
          http://www.rafflesgirlspri.moe.edu.sg/r ... nformation

          Our school does not have any core CCA.
          Our girls enrol in CCA -
          according to what they are interested in, or passionate about.

          Some CCA do have pre-requisites
          Other CCA -
          no need any pre-requisite

          Example 1
          For certain Sports CCA like Rhythmic gymnastics (RG) -
          Depend.

          I)
          if you are keen for your dd to join school team :-
          It is best to train her early under a good RG coach, during early kindergarten days (K1 / K2), and preferably had won some Junior award(s) before she come in to join Primary 1.

          This is because RGPS identify team players for RG school team, from as early as beginning of P1 Term 1 - not wait until end of P1 Term 4, nor at P3 nor P4.

          Ii)
          however, if you want your dd to join RG as a Recreational CCA, just to expose her to learn some gymnastics :-
          then no need to prepare her.
          If your dd already have some pre-school ballet background -
          she can join RG, under Recreational team. This helps.

          Along the way -
          if our coach happen to spot some Recreational team members that have talent & potential, the coach will automatically inform teacher in charge.
          The girls will then be invited / informed, to join RG School team.

          Example 2
          For Performing Arts CCA like Chinese Cultural dance -
          The girls have to dance as one, united group at school function.
          There is no \"School team\" nor \"Recreational team\", for Chinese Dance.
          All P1s are welcome to join
          No pre-requisite required
          No need any dancing background
          School will teach the girls how to dance from scratch, step by step.

          Example 3
          Choir
          The girls sing in unison, as one united group, on school occasion & function.
          No pre-requisite needed, to join choir
          All P1s are welcome to join.

          B)
          Also how is the Chinese standard in the school?
          We have heard of children from such 'angmo' schools hate Chinese....

          Last year (2013 P6 batch)-
          The score for Quality pass in Chinese (A/A *), in entire school was = 93.3 %

          Previous years (2012, 2011 P6 batch) -
          We Also scored above 90 %.

          Although RGPS is not a SAP school -
          Somehow our girls still can manage Chinese, 2nd language.

          C) are the girls aggressive, outspoken, caring ?

          Our girls are bubbly, full of energy, sharp, alert, chatty, confident, happy.

          The school groom Every pupil to behave \"graciously, caring, considerate, kind, thoughtful\" to fellow school mates.

          The social behavior of our girls, are closely monitored by Form tr, plus co-form tr.
          Eg : whether can she work as a team player within the Team ?
          is she polite or rude, in school ?

          does she show respect to authority in school ?
          does your dd observe school rules ?

          is she humble, proud, or arrogant ?
          Did she bully any children during recess time, or sitting inside school bus, etc ?
          does she follow & obey instructions from Teachers, etc ?

          At the end of each Term -
          Starting from P1 Term 1 -
          parents will receive a \"Progress Monitoring\" report, on their dd social behavior, in school.
          If there are any troubled spots warning signal, they will be commented upon, inside this progress report, Term by Term.
          Whether receive good or not so good comments about their own dd behavior -
          The child's parents will know.

            Are you very sure 90+% scored A/A* in PSLE Chinese? More likely was 90+% passed PSLE Chinese....To get 50% of the students to score A/A* is already a difficult task, don't talk about 90+%.....

              To get 50% of the students to score A/A* is already a difficult task, don't talk about 90+%.....
              Last year (2013 P6 batch of students, born 2001) -
              QUALITY percentage pass (A / A *) for Chinese scored in PSLE, for the entire school = 93.3 %

              Inspite of the fact that RGPS is not a SAP school -
              Our school had done exceedingly well !
              Each year -
              our school's academic performance, had improved.

              Our Principal announced our brillant 2013 PSLE performance, to all parents at beginning of Term 1 2014 January during (parents meet teachers) meeting, all seated inside the Lecture Theatre.

                ok in 2012, I dont hv an accurate no. of rgps girls that entered rgs but i know for sure 70 plus did but heard after psle results about 80plus entered. 19 went to nanyang…during that year the previous P of raffles sec. came over to rgps and mentioned that she would like to see rgps girls follow up to rgs.

                Every year there will be around 70 plus students that make it there including mainstream.

                  Eunice72:
                  Would like to know how is the culture of the school? Is it very competitive. Also I was told the mean score of the psle is not that high if we exclude the gep classes. Is that true? Most importantly are there lots of homework and how're the teachers there in general? Also what would you all identify as rgps girls' profile? Eg outspoken, aggressive, caring...

                  May i know what is yr interpretation of \"aggressive\". As the girls are in primary, they are still young so one or two may be outspoken to the point of being rude unknowingly but the teachers will put them right. Theres a mix of many characters so not all are angels but no one dare get out of hand. Generally the girls are obedient.
                  Competitive? Yes! Raffles has always been known for being more \"academic\" so results do matter and this has not changed for years ...not since I started primary school here myself Today the big stress come frm us parents. The school needs to maintain and excel but the parents want to compete. 😄
                  Regarding homework, none that the students cant handle but there are times when some classes do get a little overloaded.. I find it odd if my dd does not have any homework but again it depends on the teacher and the class they are handling, some classes do require more homework than others but its well balanced. My dd was here till 2012 so teaching and handling of students may differ. The teachers are kind of careful when they handle the students so they never fail to update parents by email/letters on the behaviour and progress of the child. 😄

                      Quality pass for Chinese PSLE (A / A *) -
                      NATIONAL standard (for all primary schools in Singapore) : 77.8 %

                      Our school, RGPS Chinese scored : 93.3 %
                      (Exceeded far beyond the National standard)
