Hi,My child is starting her Sec 2 next year in Cresent Girls’. Can anyone guide me along how to apply to Victoria/Cedar IP class for 2013?Thanks.

matrix0405:You can buy secondary school exam papers in CD from Big Bookshop in Tampines Blk823. Another place is http://www.excellabs.blogspot.com.I just need history and geography, will they sell separately? Or in bundle of few subjects?

JieTing:My DS wrote he went to Indonesia and realise how lucky he is when he saw the people around him so poor. After that he starts treasure whatever he has. Nobody told him but he himself realise it. :stupid:My niece wrote she play too much computer game and did badly for SA1. Teacher scold her and she realise her mistake. How? The story books look interesting. Thank you. :lol:JieTing, I am afraid your DS' writing is considered \"离题\" while your niece's plot should be ok. Since the exam is over, don't worry about it anymore.

mummyjoyce:Hi,I am planning to send my 2 DDs for public speaking class this holiday; anyone knows of places to recommend?I just want to ensure that they are not afraid to speak in front of strangers and how to present / speak well (basic) in a crowd.Ask good questions etc.Thank you!Hi, some discussion over here....http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13184&highlight=power+speech

meiah:Haiz, my ds still playing a fool. Serious when doing work lah but still happy surfing net, eating tidbits and watching TV! Ask him do extra work, he say school overload!! :xWell, life is still the same for my dd. She is the kind who gets nervous over exam, over ballet. Therefore, i try not to change her lifestyle too much. She still gets to watch her favourite show every evening. When she is nervous or lack of sleep, she will do badly for her maths.

mummyjoyce:qms:[quote=\"ksi\"]CXH exposes her children to alot of media and pageant, beauty contests stuff.I supposed she is living in it...Most probably paid handsomely for it, too. Very sad... I think CXH is still hunger for fame. But failed badly.[/quote]How does CXH hunger for fame? She's always been Expressions spokeperson all these years, since her 1st baby. Nothing wrong with earning money that way, right?Interestingly, her girls are all very very smart too. 4 daughters I think? One of them Sharlyn (looks abit like this one in the advertisement) just won 3rd place in National violin competitin last year. This girl is a NAFA violin student. I have not heard/seen about her children joining beauty pageants & contests.

Many thanks for all the replies. I will go to the library as suggested since there is no much stories I can find in the internet.

daisyt:Anymore input from other IP schools ? Thank you ! For students of RI, there are 5 core (compulsory) subjects for Yr3 & 4. They are (1). English(2). MT/HMT - those who took HMT in Yr1 & 2 will continue with HMT in Yr 3 & 4.(3 & 4). 2 Mathematics (5). Social Studies!the other subjects are 3 SciencesGeogHistLitelectives includeComputer Studies3rd LangRSPMEPAEPMSP & etc.Min 8 subjects - 5 core plus 3 others : 5% of the Yr 3 cohortTo take 9 subjects - 5 core plus 3 others plus 1 elective, student must achieve an overall GPA of at least 3.2 : 85% of cohortTo take 10 subjects, student must achieve an overall GPA of at least 3.6 : 10% of cohortBesides the subjects taken, there are many enrichment programmes (eg. moot parliament etc), leadership programmes and Raffles' own gitfted pull-out programme (RA) and CCA (competitions) fighting for the students time and commitment. :shock: It's really not easy to be a student nowadays, more so for students in a school with so many super-achievers.
