Hi MTIS, Congrats. Your child must have done really well!

I heard of 1 girl who is the top 5 in her pri sch got rejected by RV. She also applied thru academic.

Hi Sall, just curious. Top 5 from neighborhood school or elite school?

Hi Sall,

Thanks.

DD's result is average at class. I think she is lucky to get the CO from RV.

Was she being interviewed? It can be her presentation skill during the interview caught the attention and brought her through.

Neighbourhood sch. But nowadays, some neighbourhood school are also competing with elite sch. Lots of prog and killer exam papers too!

I am not sure parents are aware.


RV DSA isn’t just taking the admision tests and interviews. Short listed students have to attend a series of selection tests that includes forming opposing teams to debate on a topic etc…The thorough process is unheard of in any other schools.

This I heard from some parents whose children have went for the selction.

What is the usual teacher-student ratio for oversea trips?

[daisyt]

Usually minimum 2 teachers, one male, one female. So far for dd case, 2 teachers for about 30 students.

Hi, my dd is also studying in RVHS - she is Y1 this year. She changed Chemistry teacher (3rd module) half-way when her ex-chem teacher came in with a teacher who has just graduated. The teacher sat in her class for a few lessons before her ex-chem teacher announced that the new teacher will now take over her chem class. I heard that the new chem teacher took all of the Y1 classes having chem as their 3rd module. Why? The students have already adapted to their ex-chem teacher’s teaching!


My dd has also received the full exemption letter, she wants to go for the overseas trip but it would be her first school trip overseas. Do you think she should go? Her primary school wanted to bring her CL class to Taiwan two years ago but H1N1 came up.
