      [quote=\"jtoh\"]Just to clarify:


      IP = Integrated Programme, which is a through train programme leading to either A levels or International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. No need to take O levels.

      IB takes place in Year 5&6 for schools offering it. Years 3 & 4 are known as Pre-IB Years.

      Currently, local schools offering IB are ACSI and SOTA. SJI will be offering IB too. IB is also offered at the local-international schools such as ACS International and SJI International.

      thank you, jatoh, for completing the info and clarification

        May i know, u mean u called up rgs or ri?

        For rgs, i was told to submit only the following docs
        1. Cover letter c/w photos
        2. Application form
        3. Personal statement
        4. P5 year end and p6 mid year (certified true copies)
        They did not ask for progress report leh. So i m confused.[/quote]


        Hi Herbie,
        You are right on the documents. The progress report is refering to the P5 year end and P6 mid year (certified try copies). They did not require any testimonial nor portfolio. The admin staff will check through the documents to make sure that it is intact upon submitting, hence you do not have to worry that you miss out anything.

        I believe that RI and RGS have different requirement this year.

                      wrt point 5, do you mean you photocopy your ds work and submit to RI?[/quote]no he has taken a picture of his work and added around 5 lines of the project itself (all in one page).Again this is not a requirement in RI this year. what ever achievements you put in the online submission you are required to subject the documents related (no need to be certified). No need for personal statement as well, this they are specifying again & again.

                        At around June in P6, what kind of testimonials can provide to the school? Mostly EAGLES award, Edusave Award, Certificates of achievements, and all sort of documents were only available at the end of the year, right?


                        P5 testimonials and certificates are not sufficient and not strong enough for the school to invite an interview?
