Should be the other way round. The sec 1 this year are so lucky that they don't have to go to the new campus. Currently some CCAs are forced to go Bishan - it isn't nice. I don't like going there. I prefer Anderson road to Bishan Rd. You will get to compare the 2 when they go there for CCA.

apparently my daughter goes there for cca. she likes the place thou, n its more convenient for her too. n the ccas aren't exactly forced, should be jz bcos there's no space in rgs. like my daughter's cca they go to either ri or ri(jc) to train.

For RGS, range of marks and their corresponding GPA is as follows:

marks -- GPA
80-100 - 4.0
70-79 - 3.6
65-69 - 3.2
60-64 - 2.8
55-59 - 2.4
50-54 - 2.0
45-49 - 1.6
40-44 - 1.2
0-39 - 0.8
For the Sec 1s and 2s the overall GPA is computed by taking the GPA of the English, Chinese, Maths, Science, and 1 of the Humanities to be the 5 core subjects. Then of the remaining subjects, take the 2 best, plus the 5 core and average it to get your overall GPA. Unless you take 3rd language or something (e.g. MEP, SAP), you should only have 7 subjects for Sec 1s and Sec 2s, that means it is like taking the average of all your subjects.

For Sec 3s and 4s, you will have more subjects, so besides the 5 core subjects (English, Chinese, 1 Maths, 1 Science, 1 Humanities) you can pick the 2 best from 4 remaining subjects (excluding 3rd language, MEP, SAP etc).

Your marks are rounded up. e.g. 69.1 will give you 70.

Your marks (hence, your GPA) for each subject on your report card may be subjected to moderation. Hence, it may be higher than what you calculated, but will not be lower.

As for who takes charge in calculating the GPA, it is the computer...

thanks mjl for replying.

May I just ask on behalf of a friend, is RGS relocating to balestier area in the near future?thank you.


Leanne

On the opposite side of Bishan Road facing RI/JC. I think it is the former Bradell view Sec Sch and Bradell East school. Very huge area next to the Bradell HUDC. In fact some CCA activities \"had\" been shifted over but teachers and students resisted because the place is dirty and scary. :lol:

My guess is that it will take at least 2 more years for the final move. Then RI, RGS will be at a single location. Very sad because the current location of RGS is very nice.

i heard that RGS is shifting in year 2015. the sec 1s this year wont get to enjoy the new campus. the current location of rgs is very convenient for parents to go shopping while waiting for their child.

hello, i would like to knw if any1 knws how RGS calculate their GPA grades n wat’s the range? also, i noticed all the teachers teaching sec 1 in rgs are all new teachers and knw almost nothg abt the system. does any1 knw who takes charge of calculating the gpa for the students?

thx.
