Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) [*IP]

Leanne:
On the opposite side of Bishan Road facing RI/JC. I think it is the former Bradell view Sec Sch and Bradell East school. Very huge area next to the Bradell HUDC. In fact some CCA activities \"had\" been shifted over but teachers and students resisted because the place is dirty and scary. :lol:May I just ask on behalf of a friend, is RGS relocating to balestier area in the near future?thank you.
Leanne
My guess is that it will take at least 2 more years for the final move. Then RI, RGS will be at a single location. Very sad because the current location of RGS is very nice. -
Hi atutor2001,
Thanks for the confirmation.
I heard about it few weeks ago and cannot believe it as you quote place is dirty and scary.
The current place is really prime and nice.
I guess, they going to make that area a cluster for rgs, ri and rjc.
Wonder will it be final?

We have already quite sometimes ago guessed the outcome. Observe that many schools that were located in town or near town areas have all been shifted out to. RI, Cat High, Saint Nicks, RV, St Joseph etc....It is just a matter of time that is RGS's turn. Do you know how precious and expensive that piece of land the present RGS occupy. Thus, with all the vultures and sharks with sharp keen eyes around, that piece of land won't be spared.

Hi! I'm curious about the LEAPS leadership points awarded for the 4 leadership boards in RGS. Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me. Couldn't find any information on this in iNET.
Thank you!

hello, i would like to knw if any1 knws how RGS calculate their GPA grades n wat’s the range? also, i noticed all the teachers teaching sec 1 in rgs are all new teachers and knw almost nothg abt the system. does any1 knw who takes charge of calculating the gpa for the students?
thx. -
For RGS, range of marks and their corresponding GPA is as follows:
marks -- GPA
80-100 - 4.0
70-79 - 3.6
65-69 - 3.2
60-64 - 2.8
55-59 - 2.4
50-54 - 2.0
45-49 - 1.6
40-44 - 1.2
0-39 - 0.8
For the Sec 1s and 2s the overall GPA is computed by taking the GPA of the English, Chinese, Maths, Science, and 1 of the Humanities to be the 5 core subjects. Then of the remaining subjects, take the 2 best, plus the 5 core and average it to get your overall GPA. Unless you take 3rd language or something (e.g. MEP, SAP), you should only have 7 subjects for Sec 1s and Sec 2s, that means it is like taking the average of all your subjects.
For Sec 3s and 4s, you will have more subjects, so besides the 5 core subjects (English, Chinese, 1 Maths, 1 Science, 1 Humanities) you can pick the 2 best from 4 remaining subjects (excluding 3rd language, MEP, SAP etc).
Your marks are rounded up. e.g. 69.1 will give you 70.
Your marks (hence, your GPA) for each subject on your report card may be subjected to moderation. Hence, it may be higher than what you calculated, but will not be lower.
As for who takes charge in calculating the GPA, it is the computer... -

u stated that the GPA may be subjected to moderation, are u only referring to Sec 3 and Sec 4,
or it also applies to Sec 1 and Sec 2.
btw, can i clarify with u, for Sec 1 , is Eng and Literature considered as 2 separate subjects or 1 subject,
as u stated 5 core and 2 other subjects.
TIA -

Hi Augmum, GPA moderation applies to all levels but it is not common. English and Literature are 2 separate subjects.
