What big jump in numbers?

Do u mean O-level class pupils??? :gloomy:

Augmum:

that's right.....quite an alarming figure :roll:

Near to 30 pupils..... :sad:
would need to see the \"official list\" by end of nov,
which also reflect the results of the pupils' subj combo. ( if unchange as of last yr).

Hi, Augmum, just curious, when these underperforming students are \"moved\" to the O level class, do they have a second chance to prove themselves next year and be transferred back to IP? :scratchhead:

Augmum:

jtoh:

[quote=\"Fat Mama\"]GPA for O-level 2.0 - 2.4.

Below 2.0, retain.

They won't be retained in IP right? More likely in the O level class?
But yes, if these are kids who scored >257 in PSLE it is shocking.

For year 2, yes, they would still retain in the IP class,
joining the next yr students.[/quote]Just to share, some IP schools do not retain students in years 1 - 4. They pushed them up despite their poor grades.
The end result, kenna retained in year 5 or need to repeat year 6 when they could not meet the rigour of the 'A' levels.
So, I personally feel that if a student needs to spend more than 6 years in IP, it is best to repeat in years 1 - 4, not year 5 & 6 so they could have more time to work on their foundation.

The Raffles ones lah. Heard they may review their system because the teachers on JC side are complaining for many years at the appalling standard. May change this year.

Hi,


I have a question for the mums with child in IP school.

Usually, does the GPA of the students generally decline as the students promote to higher levels?

(Since it is expected that the content gets tougher as the level increase but I maybe wrong)

This is possible but not always so. It is the same as in any primary or secondary school. The students are older as the level increases, hence able to handle tougher contents. The raw marks depend on the difficulty levels of the tests/exam.
