        Those taking only o level Chinese will do their o level chinese at sec 4

        Those doing HCL will take o level CL at sec 3 and HCL at sec 4

              For Sec-1 this year...

              1A & 1B are from Sports.

              1C 1D 1E 1F 1G 1H 1I are from Mainstream (P6 Mainstreamers, I mean).

              1J 1K 1L 1M 1N 1P 1Q 1R 1T are from GEP (P6 GEPpers) and top scorers from P6 Mainstream (>265).

              ALL doing the same stuff (maybe except the Sport classes?). No difference between GEPpers & Mainstreamers in RI.

              Can any parents verify the above data, please? Am not 100% sure... :oops:

                That's different from RGS then.

                  you are right. but you can confirm this year got 18 classes in total ? what is the class size ? in the past was always 15 classes x 30 = 450 cohort size with the last 7 classes as GEP

                  yes no diff in curriculum in RI between GEP & mainstream

                      really ? that was what my DS told me[/quote]Maybe RGS and RI do it differently. At RGS, if you take HCL, you need only take HCL O level exams in Year 4. No need to take O level CL in Year 3.

                        yes no diff in curriculum in RI between GEP & mainstream[/quote]Heard that RI used to have 15 Sec-1 classes..
                        7 Mainstream + 7 GEP + 1 Sports.

                        This year, RI has 1 more Sport class and 2 more GEP classes, hence 18 classes..
                        7 Mainstream + 9 GEP + 2 Sports.

                        DS' class has 25 pupils. Not sure of other classes, but most probably less than 30 pupils per class. Can any Sec-1 parents verify the above data?
