I thought his son was in HPPS GEP. Saw him in the yearbook. Also saw the father fetching the son before.

oops, my son ever mentioned abt him @nyps. I guess it could hv been a case of mistaken identity.

His son is in Year 4.

but saw him and his wife at the meeting for the year 1 last friday

on wiki, the youngest should be in year 4 this year

PTM on the 8th April is for Year 1 to Year 4. He might be meeting the teacher in the Year 1 class room.[/quote]that makes sense now

Students below GPA of 3.2 can take 8 subjects.

Students above GPA of 3.6 can take up to 10 subjects which the 10th subject is either 3rd land, CEP, AEP, MEP..
Norm is 9 Subjects. Also take note that RI is implementing a new system which will squeeze some Year 4 syllabus into Year 3 so that the Year 4 will have half of year for their enrichment or OIP.

Year 3 term 1 is a bit hectic especially for my boy who has National competition, Prefect duties and events, next week boarding, test and assignments..... I am not sure if other Year 3 parents also shared the same experience.

Hi, I have pm u.

Hi


My son sec 3 was very upset, he told me the mid term papers were tough, many din score well. Especially the English papers.

I told him is ok at least he get all passes scores. RI usually set mid term papers very very tough…

He is afraid the school will want him to drop 1 subject.

Parents, need your advise is it as long you score the overall passing GPA 2. It will promote to sec 4? He still have 1 more year to buck up his studies. Since they don’t take O level, the school will base on sec 4 result to JC? Or the overall result from sec 1 to sec 4?

Thanks!

My sec 3 DS also very upset on the result. The change in time table and squeezing 1.5 years of work in Sec 3 doesn't seem to work. He is not enjoying it now. I might be writing to the Head of Academic and give my feedback. If the entire cohort is suffering from poor results, there are some problem with the timetable and the planning. I hope they can review. I hope the Year 3 parents can also share their view here.

Hi. Just wondering anybody’s DS got into RI through DSA music domain? What is the audition like? Are there a lot of students accepted through DSA music domain?


Thank you.
