Primary Science Olympiad

[mumwgals]

Hey, no worries . I will go check out popular, thanks!

i hear that NUSHS is also organizing the National Science Olympiad Singapore, for P5 students, which schools can register and participate.


RI also organized a competition called RSO (Raffles Science Olympiad). It is quite prestigious and only the top 40 gets a prize. (My son was one of them) the top 15 then goes through rigorous training cum selection process and the remain 6 goes on to an international competition, last year held in HK. Will be very important to RI or other schools’ DSA.


To prepare for it, what my son did was actually to read up extensively about some books that i’m not sure of. He did it on his own. Try reading some Secondary schools textbooks (Chem, Bio, Physics). In fact, there isn’t any use if your child has no motivation or interest. you can’t force them. if they are not interested, forget it.

Congratulate to your son!


the 2010 Singapore primary science olympaid which is organised by NUSHU was over. Not all students get the chance to take part as I think the participating school will select 5 students to participate in the first round..unlike NMOS and RMSO, students who are keen can take part...

Thanks, and that's correct. My son did not participate and thought he could this year... until he found out it was for p5 students.

My son was selected by his school to take part in this year science olympiad by RI. I asked if there is any training as there are training for Maths olympiad. But he told me, the teachers said, they read up on their own. He did told me that the school had a selection test and only the top 15 pupils were selected for the science olympiad.


Since the competition is on 21 May, I think after his SA1, he must grab all the time to start preparing for his Science Olympiad.

Hi sandunes,

same here. ds got into the finals and I have told me that we will be oversea during the period of time. He seems disappointed and now requesting to see if he can miss the trip while we travel. I have called up the airlines and know that I can't change my air tickets date. I will be calling up again to check, if I book for 4 person and 1 can't fly, will it be alright.

For ds school, only ds and one more of his friend got into the finals. I saw the email, only 48 got into the finals. So he knows it is a rare opportunity and doesn't hope to miss it. I am caught in a dilemma too. :frustrated:

Is it for you, definitely your ds is going to miss it? For my case, I am still trying to work out something. *sigh*
