In RI, for year 2015 Sec 1s were the GEP boys and mainstream boys be grouped together or GEP students will be in GEP classes ?

Any idea if the boys are placed in classes based on DSA or Tscore or randomly mixed?

All the primary sch GE kids are placed in the last few classes together with some mainstream high PSLE scorers. The rest of the mainstream students will be placed in the first few classes. Everyone goes through the same RI curriculum, tests and exams. They are all Rafflesians. This class arrangement is for the year 1 and 2. The boys are randomly mixed, dont look like they are grouped according to t score for the year 1, 2015.

In year 3 and 4, they will be regrouped according to their subjects combinations.

Thanks. Just curious, what is class 1A? Is it for a special DSA category?

Not too sure if it is a special dsa category.

1A - Sports DSA class

1A - Sports DSA class

To be specific, it is for Sports DSA whose t-score is below certain level. I think 240?

Dear all, the average mainstream students will be placed from class 1B & upwards.. high flyers is all at the last few classes.. 1A & some 1B is fr the sports DSA students who scored average 240, but during my DS Y1 in 2013, there is a student with 210+ but now he is doing reasonable well.
PSLE score does not matter that much when u go to sec sch & there is a GEP boy who got retained in Y4.

the 1A class has a slightly diff exam papers compared to the rest & in Y1 they don't sit for mid yr exams if I rem correctly. When this 1A boys go to 2A, they will need to score GPA >2.8 to continue to the IP track. Only a handful of them who get lower will go to the on-demand O level class. Well this is wat my DS told me... :-D...cheers!

Everyone starts from a clean slate as there is no more distinction between GEP or non-GEP. The achievement attained (both academic and non academic) is up to the individual student.

Lockers are free of charge and are allocated to the students by their form teachers. Should be all allocated by the end of January. Most people don't really have a need for them though, as textbooks are almost never required.

Recess timings are staggered. There might be a different time for each day. They can be as early as 8.50am or as late as 10.50am. They should receive their timetables after Orientation.

Literature lessons are merged into English lessons. The book in the booklist (given during Registration Day) will be the book. The books may not be the same as last year. This year's batch of Year ones have An Inspector Calls for their book.
