Hi firefly38. Thanks so much for the link. I just read it to my DS but he still feels very insecured..he said tr seldom gives worksheet..maybe he is really kiasu..haha

Btw he is in yr 1

Thanks again

Tell your boy not to worry.. It's only Year-1 and its only February.. Those notes & worksheets will come flooding in, as the months go by..

As long as your boy pays attention in class, asks questions when in doubt (this one very important), revises his work consistently, reads up widely (especially for the Sciences), he should have no problem, even as the workload increases..

Meanwhile, have fun.. Year-1 is honeymoon year..

Rafflesians have done very well, once again !! :rahrah:

SINGAPORE - Four Raffles Institution (RI) students offered 13 units of study and scored distinctions in all 9 subjects for the GCE 'A' Level Examinations, said the school in a press statement on Monday.

The results were released today at 2pm.

A total of 1,239 RI students sat for the examination in 2013. The statement said that at least 80 students scored eight distinctions and at least 277 students scored seven distinctions.

The school also reported that one in two students who took four H2 subjects scored distinctions in all four subjects. Two out of three students scored three H2 distinctions in their content-based subjects. 45 per cent of RI students scored distinctions in General Paper.

339 students achieved a perfect score of 90 for the University Admissions Score (UAS). UAS is used for admission by four autonomous universities in Singapore. In addition, 170 students achieved distinctions in all subjects offered, including H3 subjects.

The school also did well in subjects like Biology, Chemistry and Economics. Eight in 10 students scored distinctions for Biology; seven in 10 student scored distinctions in History, Knowledge & Inquiry, Literature in English, Mathematics and Physics; and six in 10 students scored distinctions in Geography.

The 2013 cohort is the fifth batch of students to complete the six-year Raffles Programme, the through-train programme offered by RI and Raffles Girls' School. RI also admits students from other schools at Year 5 (JC 1) via the Direct School Admission and Joint Admissions Exercise.

Ds returned home yesterday and told me that HCI did better for the A levels than RI this year? Is it true?

Hi VSK.. I have not logged on Stamford to check the details yet.. Anything important we have to take note of ?

Heard that gaming was a big issue at boarding. Glad that the school has blocked games, eg. LOL, which DS has been hooked on since school holidays last year.. :slapshead:

Parents are to book in with their boys on 23 Mar (Sun) - there will be a briefing for parents from 1.30 but the boys must check in from 12.30 to 1.15pm. Quite a big chunk of info there at stamford14.edu.sg - will get it printed out, then I can read better.

Haha I didnt know abt the gaming issue - I thought all along these sites are banned in RI premises? Sure good thing they're blocked.... hope our boys will be more disciplined there - at home, too many distractions - phone games, computer games, piano, guitar.

Read something about Prep time too :

Prep is the time set aside for boarders to PREPare for school by completing their homework or revising what has been taught. Boarders will do prep in either the Reading Rooms or their own rooms (this is
decided based on their last recorded GPA). Boarding staff/tutors will patrol the rooms during prep time. Prep is conducted every night when the
next day is a school day. So for a regular week, there will be prep on Sunday to Thursday.

Must start thinking of what to pack soon....

Thanks VSK.. Will log on to read later tonight..


With DS1 at boarding next term, I can focus more attention on DS2, who is P6 this year.. DS2 says he will miss his Gor-Gor at home.. I don't think DS1 will miss his Di-Di, coz there are far too many exciting activities at boarding to occupy him..
