phankao:

You mean from SJI(International)'s programme? bc SJI does not have 6yr programme.


The 1st batch just completed IB last year...results was just out recently. You can search the newspaper & press releases. Maybe SJI(International) website would have.

ACS(I) did better than SJI international in the IB exams.

No. I am referring to whether any 6 year IP such as those from RGS/RI or HCI/Nanyang. Have the 1st batch done their A Level ?

Thanks

Raffles Programme

Raffles Junior College offers the Integrated Programme, also known as the Raffles Programme (RP), together with .< Under the RP, students will experience a seamless curriculum from Sec 1 all the way to JC2, spending their first four years in either Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) or Raffles Institution, and their fifth and sixth year in Raffles Junior College. RP will culminate in the new and revised Singapore Cambridge General Certificate in Education 'Advanced' Level examinations (GCE 'A' Level) at the end of the sixth year.
The Raffles Programme (RP) [7] is designed to provide students with depth and breadth of discovery, as well as ensure rigour in learning. It was implemented in Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) and Raffles Institution in 2004, and in Raffles Junior College in 2006.

Under the RP, students experience a seamless curriculum from Sec 1 all the way to JC2, spending their first four years in either Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) or Raffles Institution, and their fifth and sixth year in Raffles Junior College. RP culminates in the new and revised Singapore Cambridge General Certificate in Education 'Advanced' Level examinations (GCE 'A' Level) at the end of the sixth year.
With the time freed up from not having to prepare for, and sit, the 'O' Level examinations, students are in a better position to develop their capacity and potential for creative, analytical and innovative thinking as well as leadership, service and character development. There are also more opportunities for mentorship, research studies and industrial attachment with institutes of higher learning or industry partners.
The first batch of Raffles Programme students received their A Level results on 7 Mar 2008. They have done exceedingly well. [8]

QUESTION:
If the IP (in this case RP) started in 2004, how can they receive their A level results in 2008 ?

This is referring to 4 year IP program ?

This is stated in the article. In addition there is a table that shows performance of IP vs non IP. Can't paste the table here - too long amd format issues. When you click on the link, just ignore the warning and proceed, it will get you to the article.

Sterling Performance of the First Cohort of the Raffles Programme

Raffles Girls’ Secondary (RGS), Raffles Institution (RI) and Raffles Junior College (RJC) are proud to present the achievements of the first cohort of the Raffles Programme. 75.5% of all the students who received excellent results at the 2007 GCE “A” level examinations underwent the integrated programme offered at RGS and RI. Their results show that they have been able to excel at the “A” levels even though they did not sit the “O” level examination. The Raffles Programme has provided these students with a more enriched curriculum, more time and greater exposure to research programmes, overseas expeditions, community and social entrepreneurship projects and special training courses such as Future Problem Solving. Beyond strong academic grades, the Raffles Programme has certainly added value to the learning experience of our students and provided them with the confidence, mindsets and competences needed for the challenges of a competitive global environment.

They started taking in students who were in S3 for their first batch if I recalled correctly. Which means they took the 'through-train' program but did not start from S1.

So, am I correct to say that the first batch of students doing a 6 year IP program in Singapore have not yet sit for their A Level exams ?

Thanks

The first batch of IP was S3 2004, graduated from JC2/IB/Y6 end-2007.


Subsequently, S1 IP was introduced in 2005, along with DSA. (See, for example, http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2004/pr20041122c.htm.)

This means that the first batch of 6-year IP students will sit for their A-levels 2010, as you have guessed.
