Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)

slmkhoo:

Changing the subject - for parents of RGS girls who just entered RI this year. Do ask your girls to check the CCA records for RD that got transferred to RI. My daughter has found that quite a few things got left off her record. We don't know if it's stuff that isn't considered, or whether it's an oversight. Not the main CCA things, but the extra odds and ends like taking part in optional competitions etc. I believe the last day to update the records is tomorrow.

Even the boys have missing records.

Some are not relevant for RD purposes. If all were to be recorded there isn't enough space. Some of them are really involved in many things as they try to achieve distinctions in all five areas. But they are also doing well in acad studies as they fulfill the criteria for cognitive as well.

The simplest way is to transfer them to other O level schools


But wait - the following accusations will then be thrown at RI :

1. School is heartless, made use of these boys to bring in the medals and then discard them so that they won't bring down the acad performance of the schools

2. School should be more caring to start O level class to care for them

Blah blah blah

Ok, looks like you like to post blah blah without basis.

You only know how to accuse people of no basis

Go think about why these boys not doing well. If you want RI phone number I can provide - call them and find out why. Go talk to the teachers and principal and go observe the trainings they are in - together with non-DSA boys.

Oh well, I told her to submit the lot and they can ignore those they don't want. It's not very clear what counts (at least not to us!). There is 1 item that was listed under Yr2, but not Yr3-4. Too complicated for me!

I'll leave my daughter to check up on that. I thought I'd just put a comment here for other parents since my daughter told me about the missing items, and that the deadline is tomorrow.

How is the chemistry Olympiad competition ? What are the chances to get the medal for those competition ?

[naggo-nitemare]

Yah good question. Both the Singapore Physics and Biology Olympiads 2015 results were released in the past week but the chemistry one is still not. I think it should be v v soon.
