Hi, pirated,

Thanks. ri will give those students outstanding awards. I personally feel that government should give those students awards as well. Many years back those students only got school awards. Of course, those students will have more chances to get scholarships from uni. But not all students will get schoolarships, it depends on which course students apply for.

A huge congratulations to class of 2015 and teachers/mentors!


RI has been more restrained in celebrating excellent academic excellence ever since the public discussions on elite culture of top schools. and decreased effectiveness of meritocracy. While other schools invite pupils with academic achievements on stage, RI didn’t even celebrate those 4 with 9 distinctions, what more the 89 with 8 distinctions.

I do applaud this restraint.

Year-5 students will be assigned Project Work topics today. Wonder if PW topics are set by individual JCs or MOE. And how does each JC assign the different topics to the various PW groups. Or is every PW group doing the same topic ?


Whatever.. JC1 'honeymoon' period is over, without the slightest doubt..

My older daughter did PW last year in a different school. The overall PW question (extremely vague and woffly) is set by MOE, as far as I understand, but individual groups will brainstorm and come up with specific topics according to their interests. Their PW teachers will guide them as to how to frame their project, what is feasible etc.

MOE sets a theme and the individual groups will brainstorm and come up with the topics themselves. So the various topics can be very different across the cohort. Even coming up with a topic can take a long time and changes can occur, sometimes rather late into the process. As someone said, don't be in a PW group with a good friend. You might not be friends after. :rotflmao:

Is there any subject equivalent to RI’s Research Education in RGS? Does RE experience help in PW?


How about JAE students? Did they learn something similar to RE so they are prepared for PW?
