My son is gonna apply for Dsa for RV 2013. My son got A in Chinese and distinction in Higher Chinese in both p.5 SA 2 and p.6 SA 1. Should he take the GAT test? Actually what the GAT test for as he may opt to take or not?He got Wushu blackbelt and Grade 2 in violin as well. Do this eca help for his application? Thx a lot.

:idea: get your DS or DD into Badminton (Li Ning sport) - the door would be wide open for them to RV -

my DS says that li ning's boss son is in RV - so, good to support that branded sport lah.

Li Ning is so tightly intergrated with RV from top to bottom (notice the socks!!! :rotflmao: ) that people mistaken RV = Li Ning HS -- :hugs: as one happy couple :hugs:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Actually if he dsa w the wushu blackbelt and he passes the remaining dsa tests, he is sort of\" guranteed\" a space in rv alr. So aft psle results are out and he chooses rv as his 1st choice, he cfm go into rv one :heresmyfish:

Anyone can share RV DSA experience? My elder DD now in RV Y2, younger DD also like RV. She want to try DSA through academic, her P6 result not so good, 330/400.

One of the school’s promo criteria is a B4 in HMT. What will happen if he/she fails to achieve that? My DS is in Y1. Tks.

I heard they will put a \"conditional promotion\" on the report book if all your other criteria are \"pass\" except HMT.

Singapore Maths Olympiad first round results are out.


RV has 8 students in the junior section making into the special round. There is even a sec 2 student making into the special round for the open section. Quite cool.

For maths festival project competition, as far as I can remember, it is the first time that RV got a silver or better in the junior section. There isn't any gold award in the junior section for this year.

Yea conditional promotion. other areas like conduct grade must be good, cca attendance etc. GPA requirement also +0.1.
For eg, year 2 will need 2.1 to promote instead of the original 2.0

did your son rep his sch in the national primary school wushu championships? if he has and win medals, then i think will have a high chance.

many of the current year 1 wushu students got in thru dsa last year. they won team 3rd at the nationals this year. rv's first national top 4 in wushu.

[rvhsboiboi]

Yes, still promoted. No need, but advised to buck up and dont fail again next year la… haha. not nice to see conditional promotion every year just because of one HMT also.

Oh, but will have extra remedials and work for them in the holidays, more than their peers
