Hi,


RI’s this year COP of 261 is very high for a boys school. Usually, boys don’t do as well as girls in psle. Anybody knows what is happening? Did all the GEP flock to RI such that there are fewer positions for S1 central posting or there are really even more boys with high score applying for RI?

2008 Sec (2007 PSLE) the cop was 263

Does it mean that there would be more appeal cases since the COP is higher?


any idea how many spaces left for supplementary intake?

2008 Sec (2007 PSLE) the cop was 263

But 2008 was an exceptional year when everybody T-scores were generally higher. 2008 should be view as an anomalous year.

The books I bought today - why is there no secondary 1 geography. Book list only states book 3 and book 4 - I suppose that is what the bookshop gave - secondary 3 and secondary 4. But they have not even studied year 1 geography yet.


Chemistry, physics & bio - all separate and ‘O’ level texts. I thought year 1, I was told they do general science then stream at year 3 and 4? Anyone can enlighten me?

Was wondering why no history textbooks? Maybe they use notes.

I doubt so....but if u still have the receipt, no harm calling them to ask.

History : they start with history of RI, followed by world civilisation etc

Geog : there is no continuity between sec 1/2 and sec 3/4 texts for geog, and yes they start with sec 3 geog, same for bio, chem & physics
