So that's from P3 onwards where they stream for GEP. After that do they change classes again from P5-6 ?

No streaming from P3 onwards. GEP students, once selected, will be placed in 4P-R. The rest will be promoted to the next level with their current classmates, ie. 3A to 4A, 3B to 4B, 3C to 4C etc. This arrangement will remain the same until P6 (for the current batch of P4s).

For 2015, 4E and 4F are still the integrated classes with GEP classes.

Is this the new arrangement?
3 yrs back during DD's time, 4E and 4F are not integrated with GEP classes. In fact, as long other classes in mainstream ( not specifically for E and F classes ) who are academically inclined in HMT will join the Geppers. The rest of subjects for Sci, Math and Eng remain status quo for each respective class. As of last yr, it was still the same before DD graduated.

So far, they only band Maths, for P4.

Chinese quite straight forward : either HCL or Normal CL.

Why they don’t band P4 Science ?

Basically, the geppers will have PE, Arts and Craft, Music and ML/TL as integrated classes with 4E and 4F. CL/HCL are stated as intact classes like the rest of the core subjects.

The students just started Science in P3. Maybe the school considers it a little too early to band Science in P4?

I don't remember dd's tingxie at P2 were all in sentences. They were more like maybe about 8 with 2 - 4 characters and 2 sentences. No moxie.


I guess well and good if teachers want to start kids on moxie and tingxie in sentences but need to see what their marking is like.

DS's previous school at P3 had tingxie all in sentences and moxie. Teacher refuse to give the tingxie list, expecting the kids to learn the words from their ke wen. Only moxie is given for kids to learn Fine too since every lesson they have a list of words that they must know how to read and write. Problem is teacher gives tingxie all in sentences and her marking is very strict. There will be about 10 sentences. Every word that is wrong, -5 marks. And that includes words that are not in the ke wen, but may be chang yong zi. Very demoralising for kids. Firstly no idea what will be tested 2ndly, the harsh marking.

No wonder he ran away!

dream school.

Have you sent in your child's application for transfer? RGPS goes by merit for transfer cases.
As long as the school feels the child is suitable for the school, the parents will be informed once there's a vacancy.

hi hoo1688,

perhaps you may fill up Rgps Transfer Form, attach your dd P1 results, plus Cca record (if any), plus supporting documents, attention personally to our Principal (Mrs Yue).
Her official personal email is found at the very last slide, here :-

http://swt3.vatitude.com/qql/slot/u451/ ... 202015.pdf

to download Rgps Transfer form, is here :-
http://www.rafflesgirlspri.moe.edu.sg/e ... ents/forms

can see that your dd has special, unique talent.
She can paint, & draw.
She also writes well, for her age.
perhaps may attach samples of her essay writing or painting, to our Principal, too.
If she is currently a role model pupil (mini-prefect) in her current primary school, this may also help.
Character values is something that our school emphasize

:thankyou:

hi hoo1688,
is this your P2 dd painting ?
Is brilliant, enchanting, beautiful, genius

if Yes, show this to our Principal (Mrs Yue)
The artist has talent, under Visual Arts category
The picture shows a little girl piggy back a school bag, ride a bicycle, to her dream school. She is humming a tune, means she look forward to going to her dream school everyday, happily.

On the right, there is a green classroom or lab door.
This green is the same shade of green : as RGS girls' Green colored-skirt (prefect), same color as RI green.

Ah duh. I also couldn't run fast enough. But truth is his request for transfer was put in since he was in P1. If it had happened earlier, who knows, his confidence in his MT may not be that badly shaken.

Now his school is on the opposite end, P4 then start moxie.
