      Does anyone know if there are any activities (CCA or other school activities) on Saturday for Nanyang Girls ? If yes, what’s the timing like ?


      On a normal weekday, what time does the girls get to go home ?

        One parent told me that if kids are sport-DSAed into RI, they will be put under sports class and given easier stuff to study and in Sec 4, they still need to take O level. Can any parent confirm this?

        TIA

          Not true. In year 1, they will put only those that are weak in the PSLE result in sports class. I know of sport-DSAed student with high 24x going to normal year 1 class. In RI, there are no O level class. If your result is not good, you have to transfer to another sec. School to take O level. I know a few Year 3 students who have done so.

            I thought the cut-off was 250 for sports class. Anything above you go to a normal class. And, I don't think the syllabus is different, except that they do not do music and art. I think if you score more than 250, you are not allowed to go to the sports class even if you request.

                    225 : 225 = 450
