Deadline tomorrow 10 pm..

Hi vlim, I was just thinking of you, and you suddenly appeared! Wow, got telepathy!!!
How are you.. and how is your DS coping in RI? DS seems to be enjoying himself everyday. In fact, DS says RI is less hectic than GEP (at least for now)! Wonder if the other boys feel the same way too?

hi firefly!

In fact, DS was working on his RE project till 11+ last night, as today was the deadline to submit the individual project. And, when CCA starts, DS will need to go back to school on Saturdays for his CCA. So, busy busy busy, soon!!!

Hi! Need to clarify something. I heard that the maximum number of RA subjects that a pupil can take is now 3, no longer 2. Is this true? Thanks!

At the recent year 2 level briefing on wed, we were told that the max RA subjects a pupil can take is 2. However, pupil may apply for 3 RAs.

It should be very hectic to take up so many RAs right ....
Any idea.. How many of yr1/2 boys enter both Euler and Galileo programme?..,,

I think 2 RAs is already a lot to manage, in addition to 3rd lang for some students, plus CCA, leadership commitments etc.

What is the criteria for applying for 3 RAs?

What is the criteria for applying for 3 RAs?[/quote]At tt briefing, i learnt tt to apply for an RA subject, the pupil needs to meet 2 conditions- GPA of at least 3.6 and top 15% of cohort for the subject pupil is applying for. So I guess, to apply for 3, simply be top 15% of these 3 subjects. If pupil is eventually offered all 3 after all the interviews, he can choose only 2.

Any idea.. How many of yr1/2 boys enter both Euler and Galileo programme?..,, [/quote]My DS has the precise figure for yr 2s who are in both. Ballpark figure, including himself, should be around 10. Will keep u posted once he confirms this.
