Hi all, just to double check, is the 3rd language center for both German and French in Bishan or Newton?

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome & comments. It's really good to hear that the teacher support in RPD is wonderful. There's already a big transition to get used to, plus my boy is interested in the Art programme & the offer of a 3rd language. Together with his CCA commitments, I believe RPD will work for his better good at the initial start.


How's the Art program like, I wonder? Is it a 'heavy' subject to take?

We're looking very much forward to being part of the Raffles family! I, for one, am considering joining RPA.

Cheers!

DS just got his psle results w t score 253. He only has eyes for RI as his brother is currently in year one.


What is the chance if he appeals? I told him is slim as he is 6 marks always from Cop. Is the chance higher w a sibling in RI too?

Nope. They will only look at your PSLE aggregate.

By Art program, do you mean AEP?

RPD is not by choice. If your son's cut off point is high, he will automatically be assigned to RP class.

To be honest, the chance is slim. So far, the successful appeal cases I knew were only 2 points away at most. However, there is no harm to appeal. In the appeal form, there is a question whether any of the parents or siblings was/is in RI but I don't know what they use the information for.

Does your DS excel in any sports?

Yes, was referring to AEP. My son has a creative aptitude & interest in art but I'm wondering whether the subject is a demanding one?

Because you mentioned the new principal, I'm unsure too what change might or might not be implemented & whether he would then become a borderline case.

Thanks again!
