Hi, can someone share a bit on DSA selection? What do they test on and what they meant by performance task? Is it like practical test? Do they face a panel for interview? Thx

[momododo]

Just wondering if anyone knows how many girls DSAed in leadership for this year Y1 cohort?

I read that your girl went for Maths 2 tuition.

1. May I know is it a 1-1 or group? Could I have the contact?
2. Is it following RGS syllabus?
3. Did your girl find it helpful and effective?

Thank you.

1. Small group. 2 or 3 students.

2. Not sure if the tutor follows the RGS math curriculum exactly. But my daughter is doing well.

3. Yes I would think so, her results have been to my satisfaction thus far.

Hi can I know the streaming process in RGS? Which year will the girls choose subjects, change classes and the requirements to choose subjects? Thanks in advance!

[Momo70]

Standard Y3 streaming process.

The girls are expected to choose their subjects combi in Y2.
In Y3 - they will be streamed according to the subjects combi.

Thanks Momo70 for your reply.

I see so it’s the same as most schools.
I heard from a parent that at the start of Y1 the girls can choose to take CL or HCL. At the end of Y1, if they don’t do well, they may be asked to drop certain modules or subjects. I’m not sure how true this is.

[Momo70]

Yes, it is true that the girl is allowed to choose CL or HCL. My girl did not take HCL in P but she was encouraged to take HCL.

So far so good, she is still in HCL.

She has a strong motivation to continue with HCL because she knows that she don’t have to study anymore CL from Y5 onwards if she pass her HCL in Y4.

Actually the school is very supportive of the girls - they believe in self-driven, self-managed and responsible for their own studies. 😃

If the girl don’t do well - I’m sure the school will definitely discuss with the girl and her parent. Not only in Y1 but throughout the 4 years.

[Momo70]

Forgot to mention - typically the 1st subject to drop in Y1 is 3rd Lang.

The rest of the core subjects will continue to Y2. Then at Y3 - the girls will decide whether to have 8/9/10 subjects.

As far as know - most of the time the girls will get what they have chosen as long as they meet the minimum criteria of GPA2.0.

Thanks for the details, really appreciate that!

I have heard stories of the high GPA requirements in order to continue participating in the RGS programme so I am curious whether an average performing girl can still benefit from their programme.

Just to stay in RGS doesn't require all that much - the vast majority will make it from year to year. But there are probably some smaller programmes with more stringent requirements.
