stressy:

probably put hm in xue er you lang open by dr liang wen foo. my dd (now year 5) was under him b4 during her 'o' level preparation. she said it helps as she managed to secure A2 but her result in RV was always C5 or B4. hwever, the schdl was on weekday at 6.15pm, i wonder will it be too tire for ds to attend the class. still lookg for weekend class

Hi Stressy, Thanks for that, I 'll check it out but I dont intend to send dd for weekday class as well. Don't forget they still need to complete their homework after tuition...that is really too tired for them.

Stressy, justsay, did ur children check with e teacher if he/she would be conducting any remedial class for those weak in chinese? I know quite often the teachers would do so on his/her own will or when students make a request (for almost all e subjects). Usually each class has a rep for each subject. Now its time for e rep to do something. Compo - just need to get the techniques right on different type of questions. Ask the teachers, i am sure they can help. JMHO

The blues are Cat High, the greens are RV. Those boys carrying flags on their body and the girls in pink, are RV dancers.

Sorry, could not help much. Actually in the student's handbook, it was stated somewhere in May but it never happened. I also don't know why. :oops:

Daisyt, there is remedial class for HMT but dd doesn't need to attend. I think there are more who get worse than her. Heard many of them scored A* for PSLE Chinese and scoring C5 or C6 now.
I have enrolled her for HMT enrichment class, hope can help.

Stressy, how about your ds ? How is he coping with HMT now ?

Hi parents,


I’m new here, just joined the group. I’m interested into getting my kids into RVHS for Sec 1 next year. I have 2 kids in P6, my girl is strong in languages and she has applied for DSA, still waiting for outcome after the selection tests. My boy, who is strong in Maths and Science but weak in languages, particularly Chinese, was rejected upright for DSA as he does not have an ‘A’ for Chinese for P5 and SA1 for P6. Also, he is not taking HCL for PSLE. He got ‘kicked out’ of HCL class by the school for not meeting their minimum standard for CL (must get A)

Have you come across kids who did not take HCL for PSLE in RV? Can they survive? After reading some of your inputs, I understand that requirements for CL is very high in RV. Can students who are not so strong in CL survive in RV?

Thanks!
