Many thanks for your good information.


We have tried to call BPGHS office for more info but not avail. And was directed to an answering voice message informed that it’s closed on weekend.

No problem and we have visited Kranji open house today and will join the BPGHS guided tour for the school on 26/27-Nov.

Regent didn't start off with a good reputation and with low COP. I didn't actually witness it but I heard ppl talking abt students behaving like gangsters etc. That was several years ago. Things seem to have changed in recent years.


I overheard one of my kid's primary school teacher talking to a parent. She has a girl in Regent (don't know what year). At first the parent said Regent not so good but the teacher said she is actually quite impressed with the school now. Apparently the school has improved since a new principal took over. She said that the principal makes it a point to get to know the students and to talk to them. And her girl is doing well there too (maybe the 'big fish in small pond' thing).

Guess it is hard to reverse ppl's view of the school so quickly.

My girl already said if her results are poor, she'd rather go to BPGH to do N(A).

Many thanks to BlurBerry and buds.

We were at Swiss Cottage open house last week as well and same here not impressed with the school compound. The incoming new principal introduced himself as an art scholar (? Change of new focus?) and the talks followed by student leaders could have been well organised. But after the principal's talk we have a chat with few of Sec 3 students at CIP booth and we have found that they are very happy, confident and supporting the school activities. Guess this is very important factor to consider apart from their school past good O level results and Swiss Cottage is definitely one of a good choice.

Now the bigger problem is most of the mention schools open houses are only on coming Saturday 24-Nov morning (afternoon till 3pm for some schools) and certainly not possible to visit more than 2 schools in one day. BTW I’ve called BBSC and they are not holding any open house all this while and only with their school visit talks for P6 students.

Our challenge is how to maximize the given 6 choices as the last year COP numbers are just a guide and we have to find a good way to co-relate the COP with school past year GCE O level results band number? Not to mention some schools are without the band number published by MOE.

Really appreciate anyone here can share your good experiences, advise and relative/ friend’s recommendations, etc

Thanks again.

Hi kklau


Good Morning.

What I am sharing is one similar question which my kid had done years ago.

If the question is shaded as I’ve drawn, then you may follow the steps as shown in this slide.I've attempted to breakdown the composite figure into familiar shapes.Please get your child to work out the other details.

Please take note that this is a possible way, there are alternatives.

Usually, the calculations in questions on composite figures are quite neat, just applying the formulae and pressing the calculators. But, the difficulties many students faced are visualising and rearranging the shapes into familiar shapes. This is the part which tripped many students.

You may also refer to small’s solution.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes

Hi

Could you share where is your question from?

I've seen one similar question some years ago, but the shaded areas differs slightly.
