Who selects the 60 candidates? And is voting done only by students ?

Here’s what I know about the selection.
1. Students who are interested to join the prefectorial board have to self nominate.
2. Class teachers do first round of shortlisting.
3. Shortlisted candidates attend interview.
4. Candidates who pass the interview proceed to campaigning.
5. Students vote for the prefects.

Hello parents, may I ask how many Y2 students will be selected into Raffles Academy for one subject? Like Maths? And what will be covered in the selection test? The content/topics from Y3 or Olympia topics? Thanks.

There is no specific limit to the number of students admitted into the prog. As long as the teachers feel that based on overall subj grades n info submitted in the application form n performance of the selection tests that the kid can cope n show interests, they'll get in. For my son yr, almost whole euler class proceeded to MathRA plus a grp of non-euler kids, so was less than 25pax in his class. Not sure about other RA.
Selection tests my son said for his yr, he can only remember was olympiad style q for y2 math syllabus topics.
There will be briefing or information given to parents regarding RA n subj selection.

Hi Parents, for the Y3 course options, I have a question:


According to the school’s booklet, GPA3.2 or higher is eligible for 9 subjects, but the GPA not more than 2.4 will be offered O Level. My question is: what if GPA 2.8? not eligible for 9 subjects? then how?

Looking forward to your advice. Thank you.

There are combinations for 8 subjects. I believe the info is in the booklet too.
