The impression I got from the briefing was tt the max is 2. And no more than tt. We were then told tt to find out more, we should ask our RA qns at the RA briefing to be held later part of the year.
Oh ok. I misunderstood you then. So max is two. I feel that's really a lot already. -
jtoh:
Ya lor. I :udaman: to those who commit to 2 RAs. How in the world does one squeeze out so much out of 24 hrs each day? Even more Mind boggling when they commit to 3rd Lang, special programs, core n merit CCAs leadership etc etc...Maybe they don't sleep at night, like vampires.naggo-nitemare:

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.[/quote]Wow naggo your ds very good yah!... Is it hard to manage 2 enrich programme Further more Galileo is not within curriculum time?
It should be very hectic to take up so many RAs right ....vlim:

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.
Any idea.. How many of yr1/2 boys enter both Euler and Galileo programme?..,,

No leh. He is just lucky. Last year, he didn’t apply for Galileo cos he knows he will not do well in the entrance test nor bulls*** his interview successfully. He is v one-trick pony- only crazy abt Maths, not science-sy at
all. Then, oddly, 2 weeks ago, he was nominated to attend galileo yr 2 program interview. Then even more weirdly, he was given the chance to join. So now there are 23 yr 2 Galileo members. His friends who manage both progs last year seem a happy lot who coped well last year.
Yup. Galileo is held on thurs afternoons. Yday, he went for his first session. It was v fun.
Urge ur DS to try for it. One never knows. All the best! Btw, is ur DS is Euler n math club? Maybe our DS’ paths will cross frequently. -

Hahaaa ... My ds like a bit same like your ds le.. Initially he didn't think of trying to apply Galileo as he said his science nOt very good.
The Euler selection test result not out yet. He got in maths club.

Congrats re math club! Hope ur DS will receive gd news for Euler. It's a v enjoyable program. -
