        Why RGS & RI DSA requirements are different .


        RI says no photo no personal statement in websits but RGS is asking for photo and a personal statement etc.,

        Am I missing anything here. please advise. :?

        I am planning to submit below (put in a file).

        1. Cover page (downloadable upon submission of the online
        application form).
        2. Application form
        3. Progress report photo copies
        4. Certificates grouped as Acadamic, CCA's & ECA's
        5. My DS is choosing 2 ERP's & 1 Portfolio to be submitted.

        please help

        Is point 5 a requirement for DSA? :?
        Can help to point out in case I miss out any important part? TIA.

        I have called up RGS and was informed to submit what is stated in the webpage itself (ie. point 1 to 4). They do not require any testimonial nor portfolio until you are short listed for the interview. But, it is still not compulsory during then. All the best!

          Is your DS GEP. if non GEP then no need atall. This is for GEP and not a must per talk from admin but DS wanted to a page of what he had done.

          No harm in adding. but dont make it a big essay . keep it short & sweat if needed and to 1 page mostly . πŸ˜„

            RI and RGS have separate admissions. So just follow the instructions of the school your kid wants to go to.

                    [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

                      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.
