Hi,
May I know how many subjects RI 1st year students must take / expected to take? What is the norm?

I know the 2020 booklist listed the following:
English literature, Maths, History, Science, Geography, and a list of various MT/HML.

How does all these really work? 5 cores and some other subjects?

Thanks in advance!

If there is no change for 2021 Sec 1 cohort,

Core Subjects
1 English Language
2 English Literature
3 Mother Tongue Language
4 Mathematics
5 Science
6 Geography
7 History

Elective Subjects (optional)
Music Elective Programme (MEP), Art Elective Programme (AEP), 3rd Language ...

There are also some non-examinable compulsory subjects like Music, Arts, Computer Studies, ...

Welcome to Raffles! All the best to your son! :rahrah:

Dear Parents,


To understand how the 2020 PSLE cohort performed and therefore have a better perspective of how the COPs of different secondary schools are likely to move (ie. increase or decrease), can parents of this year's cohort kindly help to post the highest T-score (please EXCLUDE the HCL bonus points) in their child's respective primary school by clicking on the below link?

https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/t-scores/

Currently, the table only reflects the t-score information of < 20 schools which makes it difficult for any meaningful analysis. Hence, would like to appeal for more parents to step forward and share the highest t-score data in their child's primary school by clicking on the above link.

Many thanks in advance!

:thankyou:

Hi, DS will be joining Sec 1 next year. May I know if Sec 1 / 2 have a reading list? He’s feel very bored at home and I think he can really do more reading. Thks!

Bring him to the library! Google for reading lists for that age group (US calls it middle school) which will give good suggestions.

Hi Y1 parents, am looking to give away the RI uniform which my kid has outgrown. My helper launders them very well, thought they can be passed on to anyone who’s keen. I’ve posted some pics below, hope this helps.


(1) 5 pcs of White tops (measure 15” at shoulder 18” at waist)

(2) 2 pcs of white tops which measure 14” at shoulder, 17” at waist)

(3) 5 pcs of white bottoms (BiBi&BaBa size 30, 14” at waist)

Drop me a pm if you are keen. I live close to Buona Vista mrt (EW line) and Holland Village mrt (Circle line), so I can meet you at either station. Thanks!

Yes it's good to encourage a reading habit. Don't think there's a reading list as such. Apart from reading age appropriate fiction books, I have encouraged my DS to read the Literature book for the coming year, and have some guidance etc on how to better \"appreciate\" Lit as a subject. He seems to be enjoying it, so hopefully interest is sustained for him to have a good start to picking up the subject.
