I think no need to call, have to wait for a day or 2.

All the very best for the tomorrow interviewees.

Thank you!

Looking at the past years trend, they will either inform by the next two days or early next week.

It is up to this year's Y5. But heard they are scrapping it due to the lack of funding...not sure if it is official.

Hi

Can I check, for weaker students, are they given remedial lessons? Also, what is the drop out rate like, for those who eventually cannot cope still, and what are the remaining options left for them - apply to other IP school? Just thinking from the other end of the spectrum, as the syllabus is so tough ( finish o levels subjects by sec 2) from what I read. Thanks.

There will be remedial lesson for each subject for weaker students - each subject teacher will decide who need it.


The syllabus is indeed tough (one of the teachers advised me during the meet the parent session to get the specific subject o level papers for my child to practise for his 1st year modular exam prep). I guess the child just need to adapt and move into a higher learning phase. And the first 2 years are supposed to be honeymoon period… Hence parents need to be realistic…

However I also remember the sch principal assured all parents on the first day orientation that the school will help every student to go through the 6 years successfully (their past records on the students final year results were impressive).

I was in NISH earlier, think about 40 students were there for the DSA interview.

What kind of questions were being asked?
All boys or some girls as well?

Sorry, I know nothing about the questions as I am there just to pick my DC, a current NUSH student.


See parents pick up some of their boys primary school uniform and over heard some parents discussing about RGS.

Saw one parent taking a large poster, look like some school work.
