I just recv the update, its to chengdu. Year 1 to 4, total 144. Dun not how many for year 2 itself. If choose not to do chengdu, must do for some leadership workshop.

daisyt, your DD got full exemption for all subjects for this EOY exam? she must be really outstanding.

I heard the MOE biculture scholarship application is opening, is your DD going to apply?

No lah, she is not that type, good in everything. To get full exemption, must be good in ALL subjects leh.

Biculture scholarship application needs recommendation letter from teachers and must be interviewed and tested by MOE officers. And I think maybe must wait till end of the EOY exams first. :?

She is happy to go Bicult class but scholarship hor, she is thinking very hard because for scholarship, need to take A lvl HCL lor.

Daisyt,

I heard a lot of yr 2 get either full, if not partial exemption. Only a handful in each class not exempted, is that true ?

There's a girl in year 1 who got A2 for all subjects, GPA 3.5 but none of the subject exempted bcos none of her subject get A1. :stupid:

[daisyt]

Justsay, yes quite true, many have partial exemption and certain papers only 10+ taking the eoy in a class. But it seems that LA & HCL not easy to get exemptions.


Exactly! Many just miss by decimal point to qualify for partial & end up have to take ALL subjects. Dd was quite frustrated too & to make them feel more demoralise, many of them feel yesterday Maths paper 1 was very difficult. Hopefully paper 2 can be a reasonable one.

I just have to tell dd, nvm lah, the more u study, the more u know lor. And hor, there are students got full exemption still chooae to take eoy exams. Many reasons and one i heard of, feel not fair to the classmates if not taking, want to tong gan gong ku with them. Also heard of worry keep on exempted, might not not able to handle exam stress during the major A lvl.

each of them received $1k subsidy from school. would say new principal is rather generous. previously never heard of such things in rv

I think it is high time that RV changes its website design…maybe is my taste problem or what…I think RV website is abit childish…abit like for primary schools kids to see…


I thought it has become a full JC and should have more funding for its website…no?

The RV 2010 Open House is on 27 November. 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.


Why is the open house this year shifted to November instead of in May? Is it because of AYLC?

I think yes because dd told me, the school was super busy with the AYLC.

What is AYLC?
