River Valley High School [*IP]

I went to the RVHS open house last Nov. The principal said that although they are an IP school, they do not open up a O level class as a catchment net as it is not necessary.


Does that mean all pupils cleared the A level in a go?

Instead of transferring pupils who never meet their minimum promitional criteria to o lvl class, RV either conditional promo them, retain them or ask them to seek transfer to other sch. That is prob why they dont have o lvl class

As parents would you not want an O level cert just in case (go overseas for college)? Because of this, I am contemplating about whether RVHS or DHS

I think what they are saying is that the year4 examination results is as good as O level cert in applying to other schools such as polytechnic etc..

Also, if a student hardly catchup and benefit from the IP program, he/she might as well be better transfering to the O level system but full IP schools system teachers may not be as optimised in preparing for O level than other schools that specialised in preparing for O level exams.

I also suspect that RV has very few students that cannot catchup with ip as they have very low percentage ofstudents that got in through DSA sports or CCA domains.

I think if parents are real keen on such info, it is best to find out fr the P or VP
