River Valley High School [*IP]

WeiHan:

The best thing about the result this time is that it shows to the subsequent junior batches and people who are doubting and are not sure whether to join RV that the nation's best possible result can be obtained in RV. It is an encouragement and the elimination of all doubts.

Totally agree!!! Go RV Go!

Totally agree ! I have some doubts too but feel better now …


Don’t want to be a wet blanket but Wat about the rest of the cohort? Does everyone manage to gain entry to the unis ?

Did you read WeiHan's earlier analysis of the results. You would have a feel where RV stand in this round of results. Happen to hop into a blog of a RV student who scored 8 distinctions, he mentioned whole cohort generally did well. RV has the highest % of GP passes in Singapore, 99.7%, only 1 student didn't make it. The number of distinctions for Econs and Bio are surprisingly high. What else can one ask for ? We should have faith in them !

[INNOVATE]

Despite having the lowest T- score amongst all IP schools, RV has shown its ability to generate value-added in this instance. A good system is already in place inorder to achieve such results.


Good job!

\"RV's IP ASK is modeled after Harvard\" - i heard hor, miss eek is ex-harvard

RV's IP is modeled after Harvard's educational programme called \"Teaching for Understanding\", not \"ASK\" as I wrote previously.

I guess it is this one

Sorry was in a rush juz now so didn’t think thru the question carefully . Yeah it is impossible for all to gain entry to the unis . It is a good feeling to know that the pioneer batch has done so well and Tks to them Ds has one full day to catch up w his project and sleep:)

octopusmum,

Is there any reason why you are worried that your son won't make it to the U?

I think there should not be a problem with your son's calibre even if he is just an average student in rv. A possible senario will be that he starts having attitude problem later, otherwise, even if he is just average, he should smoothly go to the U.
