Hi,


I would like to find out how RGS conducts its Science and Humanities (History & Geography) curriculum. Is it on a modular basis (i.e. 1 term Physic, next term Chemistry etc and final exam on all 3 Sciences)
Aprpeciate any feedback.

Thanks

Hi! for humanities, we do all 3 humans subject all at once however for science, it is based on a modular basis; 1 semester per science, and 1 will be done in year 2 sem 1. Year 2 sem 2 will then be integrated science

May I know how many classes are doing SBGE, 4? I understand those coming in via S1, even if you are Gep at Pri, you qualify only base on T-score. those via DSA via academic gets in automatically. Is this right?


Is it compulsory to go SBGE class if you qualify. I prefer dd to do normal class but one RG girl told me those classes start from 269. I don't wish dd to have too stressful life there. Just want her to have a well-balance life with as much rest as possible and be happy. I believe with that success will come naturally.

Hi, just to let you know, the curriculum for SBGE and non SBGE is the same, so no matter what class you end up in, you do the same assessments as everybody else. It doesn't mean that SBGE gets any special treatment or all of them do better.

I feel sorry to say this but i believe there will be a time she is going to be stressed anyway, with everybody else...

:congrats: on making into RG btw

Thank you everyone. Can I ask you all something? In my hardcopy sec 1 posting form,I see category 1 with Malay and Chinese, category 2 with Arabic and bahasa Indonesia and category 3 with French and German. So where is Japanese?

Japanese should be in the same category as French and German.

I think Japanese is not offered to everyone. I think students being offered chinese in cat 1 are not offered japanese.Can anyone confirm if it is offered to students who don't take chinese as their MT?

If you are good in languages, you should find it manageable

Im asking about the computer rgs girls need to get.

I heard that Sapura has only 1 model each. Does that mean theres only 1 size available? May I know what size it is? Also, RGS buys from sapura too right? Means that those who buy through RGS buy from sapura too? I am planning to get an Air, but Im not sure what size i should get and what size is allowed. Sorry for so many questions! Can anyone help answer me?

Sorry, asking some very mundane questions.


I understand that Third Language is on Fridays. What if it conflicts with CCA? Or are there alternative arrangements for Third Language?

Does the school have a designated school bus service provider, or do we have to source for our own?

Thanks!
