[quote=\"yukilei\"]Hi, I would like to know abt the 3rd language. Assuming the child is qualify for 3rd language, must he make the selection during Sec Posting? Or can he decide when school starts next year?

Yes, same for all students. You indicate your third lang choice during the S1 Central Posting Exercise and will be notified of the outcome of your selection on reporting day.

So, secondary posting is the only time to select for 3rd language. If the child wants to opt out subsequently, will then have to write to the language center?[/quote]They can fill up a form in the school itself to opt out.

[quote=\"VALyap\"]Moreover, when my friends told me that her DD with 3A* + A = >265, I already take it with a pinch of salt! She always wanted and pushes her DD to go RGS since P5 , in the end, if her DD got 267, why isn't her DD in RGS? just FYI, her DD went to Cedar! what do you think? In the end, she told us that , oh, my DD like Cedar better than RGS! we gave her face , and wished her DD the best!

Maybe this girl DSA cedar and accepted CO. So cannot change lor.

What's wrong with Cedar? My niece got >265 chose cresecent girls. Why such myopic views that top girls only choose rgs and nyg???

Kudos to parents who respect their children's views ...[/quote]http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/posting.php?mode=quote&f=48&p=898972#

GEP students applying via GEP domain must have at least 80% to be exempted from GAT/HAST. Interviews apply to all. .

Can I confirm again, for DSA to RI, per their website :-

Those who score 80% or higher for their overall Primary 6 marks (CA1+SA1 consisting of English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics
& Science) will be exempted from the GAT. Those who score less than 80% for their overall Primary 6 marks (CA1+SA1) will be required to sit for the GAT.

So does it mean that results fr p4 to p5 is not so impt to RI, for GAT exemption ?
Pls help to confirm.... TIA !

For GAT exemption, criteria as per RI website. There is still interview, in group of 3 boys from different GE center. Questions can be any topic under the sun. You are also required to supply P4 and P5 results, so it is still important to show consistent results.

Heard that DSA students, except those via acad, are placed in the last class of the school. Is that true?

In all honestly, schools which take in music students like RI & NY knows one thing.

Grades and diploma cents from Singapore are almost nothing.
Singapore is well known in the music scene all around the world for having kids who can play piano, but are not pianists. In other word, they can only play 3 pieces from their exams every year.

During auditions, on the spot is what teachers look for.
It tells a pianist and a person who plays piano for the sake of it apart.
Prizes tell a lot too. Competitions are not determined by how high the grade is.
It is determined by if the kid can truly make music.

Hope this helps
