N3SKiasu:
Happened to ask my girl about this DSA but I forget to post. :oops:Sure, I try to remember...
There are 4 papers, EL and Sc on one day and CL and Maths on another day. Duration think about 1 hr each. quite tiring for the children in the afternoons.
------------.
There were 2 RV students passing by the test venue and overheard them whispering \"wa.. like PSLE..\".. ..err..I am sure its tougher than PSLE, cos thats the way to differentiate.
She told me, yes like what N3SKiasu mentioned,. 4 papers, in two days and the hall was full with students. Really very PSLE atmosphere

Anyone knows when RVHS DSA result (after interview) will be out?

Hi BC, according to the school website, \"4 September 2009 - All applicants will receive reply from school on the outcome of their applications.\"

haha…I just read what you all have written. I agree you should not underestimate RV’s student just base on COP.
Last year A level result, one of the three RI top students who got 9 straight As was a former RV boy. Since RV hasn’t full IP yet, he finished his O level and go to RI.
If you check the MOE information website, RV is the only school with average COP scores above 255 that won a silver for "academic value added". It is the value added that is one of the most important I’ll think. -
WeiHan:
What is academic value added ? :? And yes, one of my girl's senior, from RV to HCI, still always come back to RV to help their juniors in CCA.If you check the MOE information website, RV is the only school with average COP scores above 255 that won a silver for \"academic value added\". It is the value added that is one of the most important I'll think.

I think the MOE has a projected O level or A level results that each cohort of students is expected to get based of their COP, PSLE avergae aggregate etc...If the final results exceed the expected value, then it is \"academic value added\". U can pull own to the award column, the got some level one award thingy.....

That's also because the other schs are IP schs that do not offer 'O' level classes. Hence they are out of the \"academic value-added\" awards.haha...I just read what you all have written. I agree you should not underestimate RV's student just base on COP.

Having said that, I do agree that RV is a good sch. -
JHFMum:
Anyway, the data is updated and is no longer there. I remember the other IP schools that have award for academic value added are ACS(I), Nanyang and Dunman High. So it is not true that it is because the other schools are out of the evaluation. In any case, academic performance evaluation is never out of Singapore education system.That's also because the other schs are IP schs that do not offer 'O' level classes.

Wah ! Chief really open up Parents Networking Group for Sec school division. Thanks a lot !
Some updates on RV. Moving to new campus officially on 1st Dec. Although its school holidays, many students still go back for CCAs, hence they would go to new campus after 1st Dec. There is a big walk for students and parents from Science Center to Boon Lay Campus on 2nd Jan 2010. My girl is super excited about the new campus !
The principal is a super nice and knowledgable lady. The VP is a super friendly man. The school counsellor is super sociable, easy to talk to. These are the feedbacks from my girl. -
Do take some photos of the new school campus and post here if anyone of you have a chance.
I have traveled pass that part of Singapore a few weeks ago and the school buildings appear nicer than the model which looks like fire match boxes.....
