Hi for those who dsa by Science, will there be any priority given in terms of CCA selection into certain CCA clubs? Thanks.

No preferential treatment for cca for girls entered via academic dsa. The child maybe encouraged or asked to try for certain cca or to take part in certain science related competitions or projects but no priority given. They have to go through the same interview and audition process like everyone else.

Hi parents, has anyone facing a choice of choosing between RGS and NYGH? And how eventually RGS is chosen? My daughter is P5 this year, taking PSLE in 2020. Thanks!

My dd just happened to share with me that day.. for foreign Uni, they recognise the Raffles brand more than HCI or any other JCs from Singapore, she has no regrets choosing rgs over nygh even though she is effectively bilingual

That is what hubby said too when DD is choosing school!

But ultimately, both are good schools with very different culture. If being strong in chinese and knowing Chinese history and culture and having chinese value is important to you then nygh is a good choice. But if you are looking for a more diversified culture, then rgs is a better choice.

HI everyone,


First, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

Daughter is attending RGS as Year 2 student for the first time.

Got some mundane questions here:
1. Do year 2 and above girls wear the uniform on first day of school on Jan 2 2020?
2. What is the average GPA for each level? Is everybody close to 4.0, 3.0 or 2.0 range? Trying to live up to being a kiasu parent. Lol.
3. Any year 2 girls got their time table already? I checked the portal but found nothing.

Thank you.

1. Yes, wear school uniform.
2. Average GPA for every subject is different. It is not easy to get 4.0 (well, according to my girls). I would say it’s 3+ on average but typically lower for HCL.
3. Don’t think it’s out yet. Typically out at the end of the month.

Thank you for answering! One more question, how do kids pay for their food at the canteen? Using money or apps?

If a child has no background in sports or music, is it possible to join a sports or music related CCA in RGS at all? Are all sports and music CCAs competitive in nature (as in all required to join competitions) or can join on a recreational level?


Thanks for advice!
