The students went ahead coz the instructors told them to do so. This is so not right. Dead fishes are bad, but cockroaches!!!!! They carry all sort of diseases and the kids are expected to do a capsize drill where they are turned underwater amidst the dead carcasses.

Seriously??? Haha.. my son got his worst sunburn on his face.. black/dark with skin peeling off now... but they enjoyed the kayaking.. good experience for them. Today they are on a museum visit? What a great way to start their year..

Well done to SOTA Yr 6 students. You have stood up and delivered.

My daughter also went for museum visit today, guess we are parents of the same class of students, G2.

Attended the Yr 1 Parent Tea session this evening. It’s really great that SOTA achieved 100% passes. On top of that, more than 60% obtained 35 points or more. Fantastic results considering that SOTA’s IB is not pure academic.

http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/sotas-first-cohort-performs-above-national-average-ib-diploma-exam-201

students scored 38.4 points on average, higher than the Singapore average of 36.50 and global average of 30.01, the school announced on Monday.

A total of 80 Sota students took the exam in November. Three achieved the perfect score of 45 points.

I read that the pioneer batch has 139 students, wondering why only 80 took the exams?

Over the years, some came and gone. Only 80 left, that's why. I never know of this figure 139 before? I thought it was 66 during admission time.

Opps, I read the link again that the pioneer batch of 139 consists of Sec 1 & Sec 2s. Thanks for the note. Congrats to SOTA :rahrah:

This news is in yr 2008.

So it is 139 for Yr 1 and 100 for Yr 2.

This dance student is also a high scorer and was talent scouted. She is now in the US with a scholarship, I think.

SOTA does not talent scout. 100% students chose to enter. One of the full scorers I heard had less than 220 for PSLE. Anything is possible with a rigorous curriculum. Know a teacher there so trust my source.
