Rosyth

[Blissedsher]

I applied Rosyth transfer waiting list. next year will be p4. recent received school call got vaccancy can join.

may i know some information about Rosyth coming year classes information for example whuch class is Best class and 2nd Best class then rest?
so far kid current school also good but not as top as rosyth. now in Best class with high chinese. academic result is also good. just worry if been assigned to bad class then affect kidperformance. Then may have to give up this chance as \" in good school best class is better that top school bad class\".

can any parent kid in 2019 P4 can share information or private chat also welcome.

:thankyou: ([/quote]
Actually is up to u, whether want to accept Rosyth Transfer (since the ball already landed in your court yard), or turn it down.

Ask yourself honestly, what are the pros and con ?

Disadvantage ?
Rosyth doesn't have affliation to any Secondary school, whatsoever. As such, come P5, P6, will be stressful for both parents & students here.

Advantage ?
If accept the Transfer, in future, your grandchildren can enrol into Rosyth primary, provided (on condition that) Phase 2A2 still continue to exist, by the time your grand-children register for Primary 1 in Year xx.


What can u possibly look forward to, if accept the Transfer ?

For \"Transfer-in\" students into Rosyth primary at end of P3, they will get assigned to only the \"Mixed-ability\" or Average classes, but not to any of the Top (Mainstream) classes.

However, at end of P4, there is streaming, into new P5 classes.

This means that you have one entire, whole year (2019) to work hard, to prove yourself, target to enter one of the Top few Mainstream classes, come 2020 P5.

As u are also a new pupil (student) joining Rosyth, u won't become prefect so fast, because Teachers and classmates do not know u yet, must be patient, be humble at all times.

However, u have one full year (2019), to prove your capability, your stewardship, your leadership. You need to re-prove yourself, come to another new school environment / culture. At the end of P4, if your Form Teacher or subject Tr find u responsible, helpful to your fellow peer classmates whenever they encounter issue, Form Tr and Co-Form Tr can recommend u to be a prefect.

When u Transfer in from another school, both Form Tr as well as Co-Form Tr will read your ex Report card, read what your ex (former) school Tr had said about you, in the past 3 years (2016 P1 to 2018 P3).

Although u may not be a prefect immediately in 2019 P4 since u are a new student, however sometimes Form Tr may assign u certain classroom responsibilities or school compound (premises) responsibilities, and observe your behavior quietly (discreetly), from here (starting point).
So, take up these small-step, tasks well, do your best.

As Rosyth is a GEP school, a number of parents & students here are very competitive, particularly (especially) in those Top few classes, per level. Because come each year-end at end of Term 4 after SA2 is over, there is this prize award ceremony whereby different types (category) of award are given out to Top x number of pupils per class, and also given out, at per cohort level basis.

Now, it is up to u, view whether a glass is half filled with water, or is the glass empty content ?[/quote]

Thanks a lot for your reply. It's really very helpful information.
I am interesting with the term in your words - \"\"Mixed-ability\" or Average classes\"
Average classes I could understand, what does it mean of \"Mixed-ability\"?
And any difference with high Chinese lesson and normal Chinese lesson (mother tongue language) in P4?

I also heard that now Rosyth will not put any transferred student into top classes, will them put all the transfer student into same class or different average classes?

I got almost same concerns as those were mentioned by all the replies. It seems kid is very optimism, only complain hate to take bus everyday (if transferred, have to take bus back to home everyday if no school bus). So I have to try to get school bus seat.
I worry about his adaptation in new environment. He is very confident that no problem to make new friend and stay in new class.
Then I said teacher will not pay much attention to him, his answer is now teachers are also don't pay much attention to him and no attention means no complain to parent then he would be very happy.
Well, either he is brave or totally without any thinking. I am more hesitation than kid.
It's not decision time yet, now is just try to get more information before the decision time.

Back to question, do you mind spend a bit more time to explain \"Mixed-ability\" class?[/quote]

The advantages of getting into top classes allow the child to study at a faster pace and possibly stretch one’s potential when you study with the higher ability group and in a so call more competitive environment.


However, it is not a guarantee that one will score above 250 in PSLE. For some unknown reasons, there are students in top classes who did not do well and scored 21x - 23x. An extreme case I heard of was below 200 and the need to choose between express and normal.

If I am seeking a transfer for my younger one, I will look for 1 that has an affiliation to secondary (for security reason), otherwise, I do not see much advantage.

For Rosyth, whatever class you are being allocated to in P5 will be the same for P6.

[eoh]

What is the average marks a child needs to get in order to get into the TOP 2 class in P3 and P5? What is the TOP class in P3?

[eoh]

Can I know how many P5 mainstream class take higher chinese

Hi, is rosyth under AMK GRC? If I am not in the same GRC, means I not apply for grassroots?

Hello all. We are considering options for our 5 year-old and are wondering if any parents here have transferred their child from Rosyth to Haig Girls, or vice versa. If you have done so, please could you share why, and how you would compare the culture and environment of both schools? Thank you all in advance.
