Hi RGS parents,


Need to find out something. What happens if a pupil has CCA on Wed and Fri, but is taking up a 3rd language, which falls on Wed or Fri. Do they go for CCA or 3rd language? Will there be make-up classes? If so, when? Please advise.

:?

Thanks in advance.

I do not think so. She is currently in RI(JC). Maybe she is doing MT 'A' Level.

According to the school, CCA is compulsory while 3rd lang is optional. If 3rd Lang clashes with CCA & it's not possible to change the 3rd Lang session, then student must give up 3rd Lang.

I did a quick count from the sec1 namelist at RGS this morning. There is about 30 students from NYPS joining RGS next year. May I know any of the Kiasuparent members' daughter is from NYPS?


I understand the number of students from NYPS joining the following schools are as follows:-

NYGH >60
RI 54
HCI 45
RGS 30

Hi. Anyone knows if we have to pay money for dropping 3rd language in RGS?

No. You aren't charged for lessons either.

OTOH, the books are pretty expensive, especially for J/F/G.

I heard Ting Wen has been offered a scholarship by UCLA, the school needs her to take her o levels to show that she is able to handle the academic in the uni.
So far, only RI and HCI has 'o' level classes at Sec 4.

Hi wmd,

It's so nice to be surrounded by friends from her primary school. For NYPS, majority of those who joined RGS are GEPers, only a handful, including my daughter are Mainstreamers.

Any idea if they must be in their PE T-shirt & culotte on 29 Dec? I'm a bit puzzled there is no Biology text book in their booklist. Also, the Art set, which was lablled as compulsory & cost almost $80 consists of items like scissors, hole puncher, ruler, glue, pen knife, sharperner & other stuff that I would not have purchased had I more time to scrutinise the list. According to an existing student, they did not make use of those stuff this year! :x
