[quote=littleprince post_id=1940242 time=1570505339 user_id=19510]Hi,
May I know what is the pre-requisite for the student to be able to study either Biology-Chemistry-Math-Econs or Chemistry-Physics-Math-Econs at year 5 ? Having this information would be good for us to decide whether to select RI for the S1 exercise, knowing that it is going to be very competitive in RI :thankyou:
Bio/chem/phy/math min gp 2.0
Academic criteria
4H2 y4 results gpa 3.2 or more
Based on what was shared beginning of this year.
May I confirm that for :4H2 y4 results gpa 3.2 or more\", the student needs to be getting on average B3 for his subjects ?[/quote]yes, ave 3.2 gpa is B+ 65-69
if your y4 gpa is below 3.2, you take 10 units (ie. 3H2 + 1H1)
If 3.2 or more, you can take 11 units (ie. 4H2)
I assume that you want your son to take 4H2 pcme or bcme, then you need ave 3.2 or more.
Ave gpa computation is based on core 5 subjects + 1/6. -

I don't think ESIS is based on GPA.
for boys who are Singapore citizenship , if his PSLE Tscore goes above 260 or 262, students qualify for EESIS (Year 1) ?phtthp\" post_id=\"1938193\" time=\"1569648330\" user_id=\"35251:
[quote=toutoulang post_id=1938177 time=1569643448 user_id=5818]Hi all,
Would like to ask for advice.
My son is aiming for RI. But we are concerned about the costs involved because we have 3 children but not eligible for subsidies .
Can I check how much the fees are for RI and whether there are extra enrichment programmes in RI and will these be subsidised?
I don't really want him to miss the opportunity of going RI but if it's too expensive, we may opt for other IP schools.
Would appreciate if someone who knows of people in RI can comment.
Thank you so much.
:thankyou:
However, subsequently, RI will look at your year-end results, every year
@end of Year 1 (IP), in order to continue enjoy receiving \"free\" education for Year 2 (IP), via EESIS,
what is the minimum (lowest) GPA score requirement, because failure to meet this requirement will mean that the student need to fork out and pay $300+, per month, his EESIS privilege gets terminated from that point onwards, or can he still continue to renew next year, if say, he is able to meet back the GPA score requirement again the following year ?
(EESIS not for Secondary students who are PR / foreigner status)
4. TENURE
4.1 The tenure of the scholarship is 6 years for students on the 6-year programme and 4 years for students on the O-Level track. The scholar must progress to the next level of study each year and have good conduct in order to continue receiving the scholarship.
https://www.moe.gov.sg/education/edusave/edusave-scholarships-for-independent-schools-%28esis%29
Extra enrichment programmes in RI are subsidised based on ISB Eligibilities.
i.e. $6,901- $9,000 ($1,726 - $2,250 per capita income) - 33%
$4,001 - $6,900 ($1,001 - $1,725 per capita income) - 70%
$2,751 - $4,000 ($691 - $1,000 per capita income) - 90%
< $2,751 (<$691 per capita income) - 100%
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/more-financial-help-for-students-from-lower-and-middle-income-families-in
Anyway the enrichment programs (such as overseas trips, boarding) are optional.[/quote]Sorry, I am a bit confused. My friend's family has a household income of $8000. She has 1 child only & her son received eesis. After the announcement of the financial help, she told me her son's school fees will be reduced further. She will apply for next year. Even though her household income is 8k, but per capita is $2666. But she told me, it is based on household income only. Is she correct? Thanks. -

All my 3 kids went in with 2 calculators. My girl said as long as you have the school sticker, you are allowed. But I am not sure if there is any chg to the rules as my kids sat for psle last yr and few yr ago.
Hi all, although maths paper is over. I am curious is it the student can only bring one calculator to the exam hall? In other forum, there are many parents who suggest bring 2 calculators in case one does not work..but today my girl was only allowed to bring one although we have prepared 2 as last few days the old calculators seems to have some fault. -
RE: US Universities - deferment to NS boys
Thank you very much for your reply. All along, I thought the min age for ns is 18yo as most of them go ns after jc or poly. Thanks again for your help.

RE: US Universities - deferment to NS boys
Hi floppy, thank you for your reply. Then in this case, can the boy go ns at 17yo (assuming he was born in Dec) after he completes his 1yr foundation course?
