Paddy Field:

For all DS who are affected by the clash of dates with third language and Raffles Trail on 10 Jan, Mr Lim (Year 1 Head) is already in the process of corresponding with MOELC on this issue. Once vlim or I hear from him again, we will definitely update here. vlim, right?

:thankyou: Paddy Field!! Will check back here.

Ms tay:

Does anyone know how RI streams the students every yr ?Do they stream them lik primary schools do ?

Or do they just stream them to GEP n mainstream classes only ?

from past observations, the last 3 classes have the highest t-score

but it may change this year.

usually first 8 classes from 1A onward are mainstream and sports DSA classes, the rest are made up from majority GEP kids plus some high-scorer mainstreamer who will received extra monitoring sessions from some teachers to ensure they can cope with the GEP boys at different pace from non-GEP class

Hi kerropi,
You can refer to the handbook which was given to the boy on the MOLEC registration day. IF the student cannot attend the lesson because of sickness, an mc has to be produced to the class teacher. If lesson is miss due to other school activity, the kid can request for a replacement lesson if he want to. For lesson miss due to school activity, students are advised to get an excuse letter from the teacher in charge of the school activity... You can read the handbook for more detail info..

vlim, looks like you are preparing for exam on the handbook :rotflmao:

Thank you vlim!! I will go home and read the handbook. I thought the handbook is for him to register himself online ... oh gosh, he forgot to do that yesterday!!! ... ok ok ... means I must ask DS to go after Mr Lim to get his excuse letter too.

If Mr LIm manage to change date for the boys then I presume no need the excuse letter liao...so now waiting anxiously for his reply.. :roll:

Hi Vlim,

yes, can be rearranged. DS was hospitalised for a week after a fall in sch last year. Just write an email to the German teacher or MOLEC centre, they will arrange another lesson on another day with other batch, eg RGS, NUSH, NJC group of students, to catch up.

yes, for past 2-3 years, they do segregate the boys as vk2010 said.
1A is mainly sports DSA
1B to 1H for mainstream
1I to 1P - mainly GEP plus about 4-5 boys with high Tscore each
( I being with the lower end Tscore,and P being the highest Tscore group )
1Q also mainly GEP, but most with special skill/talent, eg music, debate,etc ( but not all high Tscore - there is a wide range from 257 to 278, I think )

This year, there are 17 classes instead of 15, but I do note that many classes has 26 to 29 students, so maybe they have excess teachers and decide to reduce the number of students per class ? :scratchhead: Not sure about the groupings though, but so far it is pointed that R and T ( new classes ) are mainstream boys.

They stay in the same class for 2 years, by Year 3, no more segregation for GEP or not, should be separated purely dependent on their academic results for Year 1 and 2.
