Actually, RGPS performs well in MT at PSLE. The national average for scoring A/A* in MT is about 80%. At RGPS, about 90% score A/A*. I find that impressive.

That's quite surprising considering the teachers do not go the extra mile to prepare other teaching materials besides relying on the text books.

They do quite a bit in P6. Supplementary classes after school ...4 days a week.

4 days a week! Wow! That's a lot. Is this supplementary or remedial? I understand there's supplementary classes during Sep hols too.

4 day quite a killer actually. My daughter skips the MT supp but attends other three. Remedial lessons ... think 4 weaker ones. Current P quite on the ball. My #1 hardly had any supp classes and no holiday classes ever under previous P. Think the supp classes for maths touches on higher order stuff, 4 science ...its mainly adressing process skills. For GEP, these are part of their routine work... maybe no need 4 supp classes

I've not heard of supp classes during sep hols. Are u sure? Thought the week off will give them the much needed time for self study.

[quote]Oh they have swimming every year? I thot it's only for P1s. Wow quite shy if the bigger girls all shower together eh?[/quote]
Swimming is for 3 yrs /8 lessons. The governmnt realised that most kids cant swim n implemented this for all schools. Bigger kids? u mean higher primary kids, no they dont mix them, different days with different timing.// not much time to shower n shampoo sometimes unless ur fast. the bus have to leave on schedule,so normally kids are told to rinse n change quick. Just hope that yr grls swimming lesson will be last on the timetable next yr so she cn be dismissed for home aftr she gets back to school.

Hi moonee,

My girls got transferred to RGPS in P4 from Henry Park Primary. Not too sure abt supp classes earlier. Under the previous P, my guess is not many supp classes, though there may have been remedials.

That's what I heard. I could be wrong. I know some other schools are having supplementary classes during September holidays. Overkill, if you ask me. The girls need time to rest and recharge their energy levels.

btw, for the 6E/F girls who got into RGS, did they have special qualifications, like Platinum in Math Olympiad etc?

Thanks.
