Hi parents, any idea if there are any science olympiads which we can register on our own?


My P3 kid has a strong interest and we started letting him try out the science olympiad books from popular since P2 and he seems to be able to do most questions or do his own research. We’re not sure how different the olympiad questions from popular are compared to the ones hosted by RI and NUSH though.

For invitation to RI science olympiad do they only open to certain primary school? my child’s primary school doesnt seem to participate and i’m trying to find out from the science dept if there is anyway i can register for my child.

RSO/SPSO are for P5 students. RSO has restriction on number of participants per school but no such restriction for SPSO. I believe all local schools should be participating. Also, SIMCC conducts ICAS Science and Vanda Science competitions which you can try out before P5.

Which month is RSO and SPSO usually held in? Are we able to apply ourselves if we are not selected by the schools?

The RSO is usually held in June. The SPSO will be held on 24 May 2023. All participants have to be registered by their primary schools. No individual registration will be allowed.

It depends on which Science Olympiad you are preparing for. Different Olympiads test different things.

Yep - date is correct.

I think some (from my kids’ school) were invited to join.
