Does anyone know what is the intake percentage for science vs arts for J1?


How many BCME and PCME classes are there? Is it a mix of IP and JAE students in each class?

Covid time was really free for all. Go sch in shorts and tshirt also can.

Black polo tee sounds nice, save the trouble of ironing uniform.

no restrictions on shoes and socks, even pre-covid. i've been washing black / pink / etc etc socks.
Also recently when i brought the kid to buy shoes, i asked if there is any colour requirements. So confirmed no.
Do the white/black shoes apply to the Y1-4? Y5-6 rules are more lax. I think rather than trying to \"fight\" the y5-6 on shoes/socks, time and effort better spent on other matter.

Can anyone share more info about Raffles Academy program?


- Is this an additional subject or it supercede a H2 subject?
- Is this very tough to handle?

Another question, is student required to bring a laptop to school everyday?

Was using ipad in secondary school, so not sure if required to buy a new one.
