My DS’s son’s friend with score of 260 appealed to RI and successful. I think they have sorted out the s1 posting appeal cases. The rest is probably the dsa appeal cases. Perhaps now Mrs Lim is talking to moe minister, mr heng!

Raffles diploma is mentioned in the school open house. Am not sure if it's different syllabus. Acs I would be able to tell since they have both the IB n A level track.

It's not a separate syllabus.

Yes, a few of my friend's DS already recevied news from RI for thier appeal. One with Tscore 251 appeal via sport and another one with tscore 260. Both with S1 posting and GEP student, no DSA to any school.

Hi


There were a lot discussion about RI appeal, reporting day, buying books, uniform, camp etc…How about other schools? Can we talk about other schools. Besides RI, I guess there are many other schools in Singapore.

Very cusious to know how about other schools like RGS, SJI, HCI, VS, NYGS, SCGS, MGS, BPGH, DHS and others.

Questions
1) How is the reporting day? Any issue? Good?
2) What is expected on the first week of school. Any camp?
3) Any school need to pay school fee on the reporting day?

For girl’s schools, is there any school camp during the first week like RI and SJI?

Soon, there will be 1 Raffles providing IP, IB, O Levels to cater to all the kids in Singapore and all the parents' dream (or kids' dream) to be in Raffles will come true! :rotflmao:

Not from affiliated school. Did not enquire much about him, though. And everything was ok in the documents. Probably other considerations. However, I think it is time to move on. DS posted to SJI. Am sure he will do well there. I like SJI equally. It was just the fact that he score exactly equal to COP that is troubling him. I convinced him SJI is equally good. Hopefully, few days, he will accept the decision and will be happy in his new school.

I still find it unusual given that his score is at COP, no adverse comment from primary school and although from non affiliated schools, someone else from non affiliated school has gotten in via appeal. But if your decision is to move on and not pursue it, then yes, forget about the episode and embrace SJI. SJI is a good school too and has been diverting energy into new IP. so your son may have chance to join its IP or other schools in various window periods. Wishing him all the best in SJI! The race has just started, don't give up!

Thanks!!!

We discussed under the individual schools' threads, leh.
