My DD is currently in Y1, here is my observation.

1) are girls generally helpful towards one another?

Yes, but students must take own initiative to ask or seek help from classmates or teachers.

2) Do teachers really teach? Or do they assume the girls are bright enough to undertake self-learning.

Yes and yes, but somewhat faster I think, and they do have certain expectations from RGS girls.

3) Is the Higher Chinese standard manageable?

Almost every Y1 Chinese students at RGS takes HCL. Based on their teacher's feedback, majority of RGS student should be able to manage. (may be with some help from tuition of course)

4) Are you happy with the way the school is run?

my DD is happy. Some may complain about the long queue during recess and lunch time.

5) Do your girls sleep enough or is school work too fast-paced and gruelling?

For our case yes, except on some CCA day where my DD may need to sleep slightly later to finish her schoolwork. I was told Yr 1 and Yr 2 are honeymoon phases at RGS, so I think it will be fine for most.

Thank you so much for your reply. I've just come back to the forum after a time away.

Hi,

May I know from which year onwards does RGS start prepping for A levels? Do they only start prepping in Y5-6 or they start in Y3-4?
Trying to understand the advantage that the IP track have over the regular Express track of O Levels / A Levels.
Thanks in advance!

They start preparing for A levels in Y5-6, like everyone else. The benefit of the IP track is a bit more freedom to design a syllabus that doesn't stick strictly to the O level syllabus, and the many months of revision for O levels can be used as additional curriculum/activity time.

One of the biggest advantage of IP track is that your child has a guaranteed place in the affiliated’s JC as long as they meet the minimum passing criteria in Y4.

Hello parents. Kept seeing “Gap semester” for RI only but not in RGs. May I check if there is something similar /equivalent for RGS or is it just exclusive to RI? Thanks

Based on last year COP. Chances are to go through ballot. Good chance if you’re a Singaporean. 😃

No harm trying and all the best.
