River Valley High School [*IP]

MXYMum:

My DS is struggling with Maths and Science in Y2. The pace in RV seems to be too fast for her. For Maths, she's generally unable to complete the test within the allocated time. Any recommendations? Y2 parents, how are your kids doing?

MXYMum,

I understand that RV teachers will conduct after school classes for students who are unable to cope with their studies....

But with this extra classes still cannot catch up....better seek for external help
before is too late....

IP school teach subjects different from the normal secondary schools...

If I am not wrong if a student GPA falls below 3.2 , they are made to repeat ....

Note: I am not working for tuition centre... I just KPO....

It's GPA 2.2 or 2.0, not 3.2 lah. Otherwise, there will be many repeats every year. :scared:

[/quote]Hi! GPA requirement for promotion to Y2, Y3 and Y4 is 2.0 for Y1, Y2 and Y3 students respectively. For Y4 to Y5, requirement is 2.5, but 3.2 is required for reading 4 H2 at JC years.

Apart from GPA, 4 other criteria include minimum B4 in HCL, minimum B4 in EL, minimum \"Very Good\" for LCD Grade and minimum Bronze award for NAPFA Test under the r-CCAC. The last criterion applies for all years except Y1.

As for recommendations to parents who are concerned about their child's performance in Math, the advice will be to get your child to do timed practice frequently. Also, try to stop using correction fluid/tape even during normal schoolwork (just cancel the mistakes, it will reduce time taken for making corrections) so that it becomes a habit not to use it in tests and examinations. FYI, usage of correction fluid/tape in tests results in penalty of a few marks in the paper, which is not worth it.

For Science, read up the guidebooks bought to revise the concepts. Clarify any doubts when necessary.

Hi, does anyone happen to know the percentage breakup of the results for T1, T2 and T3 for Y2s? Your help is appreciated!

[justsay]

DD has gotten the letter back today. She qualifies for full exemption this year and we are happy for her.

This year Y3 gets to go Australia, Japan, HK, Taiwan, Vietnam or Malaysia of their choice. It is only partially subsidized.

HI all


it has been a long time since i last posted sth in this forum!

would like to ask if there are any parents with kids in year 3 or 4 in RV…

if there r, would like to know if you r able to bring your kid this dec for holidays overseas…reason being, i recalled during the year 1 principal’s briefing, he mentioned that we should not plan any overseas trip during dec for year 3/4 students as they will be busy for school activities.

any sharing will be much appreciated.

tks

regards
