Mrs Who ?RGS being so near to RI campus after the move, wondering if there is going to be only 1 principal remaining..,

RJ and RI used to have separate principals too...all in all, used to have 3 principals for a period.., now it is only 2.
Just thinking, cannot rule out that possibilities of having 1...., eventually.
as the saying goes ..a mountain cannot have 2 tigers.. or tigress for that matter… -

as the saying goes ..a mountain cannot have 2 tigers.. or tigress for that matter…[/quote]RI/RJ has proposed this for a long time to RGS and RGS prefers to be a separate entity. So for the foreseeable future, I believe it'll still be two principals. -
RGS is different location, opposite the road. Will it beside Caltex?
No more ION and Orchard Road. Quite sad. -
By which year this Mrs Lim and Mrs Hoo will be given up their seats?

Can someone from Y3 or Y4 please advise the advantages of taking RA and how to prepare for the entrance exam?
hi there,
I'm in y4 this year, and my mum saw this post and told me to answer you haha
I'm afraid I can only give you my opinion based on my experience in a humanities RA.
advantages for taking RAs --
1. if you are very strong at that subject, you get 2 GPAs for it, standard and higher, and you can count them both in core5best2 -- so it does boost your overall GPA :))
2. more attention: teachers have the autonomy of adjusting their teaching pace to the needs of the class, class size is smaller, your opinion WILL be heard in class discussions, questions answered etc.
3. access to higher level competitions -- for subject specific comps they will usually offer to RA students first, then they open up to the rest of the level; more chances are given in RA (in fact they encourage you to take part in at least one comp a year!)
4. content is deeper, we spend more time discussing things instead of skimming the surface? more student driven = more freedom = lessons are usually more productive = learn more
5. field trips are more common! priority for some school trips too (not all, some)
6. good relationships with your classmates, learn to work in teams, but also independently
selection test usually tests upper sec topics. but if you're thinking of taking a humanities RA I would safely say that no amount of studying guarantees that you will get in!
but I would say these are other \"recommended\" things you should possess if you're thinking of taking up a RA:
1. independent learner: you have to take ownership of your studies, be willing to work hard on your own (RA teachers do not spoon feed!)
2. a lot of passion. don't go into RA just because it gives you access to comps which looks pretty on your report book; go in because you love the subject, and you want to take it at a higher level and stretch your learning. don't go to RA purely because your grades are fantastic for a subject, because you might be in for a rude shock (grades can drop, standards are higher, you need to really work hard to pull through :D)
ok that's my own opinion, I hope that answered your question. -

It is normal if the child is not in any of the RA ?
if her career choice is to be a doc or lawyer.
