I believe, in this case, there will be tests conducted by both MOE and the school to determine which level she is suitable for.

Hi All,


I am helping my Boss's child to get into NYGH or RGS, anybody has any idea on any ways to get into these 2 school like donation, or hire of expertise into the school or voluntary work etc to secure a place in one of these 2 schools beside having the exam set by the schools?

TIA!!

Study Hard.

Based on my friend's daughter's appeal to RGS this year, I would like to make a comment here. My friend's daughter had always been one of the top pupils in her primary school, which is a neighbourhood school. However, to their surprise, their daughter had only got a score of 259, approximately 15 marks away from the top scorer in her school. She did not even get herself into the top ten positions. Since RGS's cut-off point was 260, she decided to give it a try and put RGS as her first choice. She woke up early, excited and eager to know what school she had been posted to, but once again, there was disappointment. She had been posted to NJC, which was her third choice. Thus, they decided to make an appeal to RGS. And yes, the appeal was successful! She did not really have any talent or otherwise not yet discovered. Basically, this shows that appealing into RGS does not necessarily mean that a T-score of 270 can ensure that you would get into RGS smoothly or safely. However, they look at your past year results, which also means how well you can learn. I also have friends' daughters who have got into RGS through DSA although they were in neighbourhood schools. RGS is also a place where they would want to help discover their girls' talents and abilities. But MOST IMPORTANTLY(just highlighting), they would like to ensure that girls have a fun-filled experience in RGS and shape characters. Girls in RGS do enjoy their school life with their friends. Also, through their CCA interviews, we can see that each CCA accepts students based on their passion towards the CCA. My girl was in chinese orchestra in her primary school days and thus she decided to go for RGS's chinese orchestra CCA trials. Her friends who were not musically inclined got into chinese orchestra. They did not accept her although she had far more experience than her friends who have not even touched an instrument in their life. Despite of this, they were all happy for each other and hoped for the best for one another. I am glad that my girl has entered RGS and I hope that you will be able to see what RGS really has to offer.

Whoa - years of experience in CO and she wasn't accepted by RGSCO? What instrument does she play?
