Wow congrats That means SCGS CO no need anymore. Good strategy to put MGS first.

Thanks thanks! You remembered. Both are good schools nevertheless.

My boy got a CO for Infocomm to HCI, but eventually, he give up as RI math WL converted into CO. He chose RI because of the distance.

He learned Scratch, Python, and C++. Finished 200+ questions in codebreakers, and win a few MO awards plus an HCIC award. Forget to mention, we shared 200 C++ code files when asked to provide supporting documents.
The interview is a group interview of 2 teachers and 3 pupils. They are asked to do 2 logic & programming problems within 30 mins.

What was his Math portfolio like? Thinking ahead for when it gets to my son's turn. He's not into pure coding so probably not infocomm even though he is in robotics cca rn.

oh got it... fully understand now.

Thanks coast!

You submit your school choices in order of preference.

E.g., your first choice is the WL school and second choice is CO.

If WL is converted to CO (you will receive the outcome on PSLE results day), then you will go to first choice school. If WL is not converted, then you will go to second choice school.

Just post here if you have further query

All the best.

Hi, I'm considering River Valley High DSA - Coding for my boy. I've a friend whose son has completed many coding modules and taken part in national robotics competition but he didn't even get through the application round for River Valley. Wondering if any parents here managed to get your child in via DSA coding for RVH?

Hi everyone,

For those with DSA CO, do you have the school textbook list already and were able to purchase in advanced?
I can find some of the textbooks in Popular, but not the school-logo exercise books. I called the school and they said they will only release the textbook list on S1 posting day

Was hoping to have a peaceful year-end travel. I guess I'll just let DS be without any exercise book for first week.

No book list but was able to get school uniforms done.

Yes the school emailed the textbook list on PSLE results day. Can order online but some textbooks out of stocks, so I’m waiting abit more.

Just ask your DS to bring extra cash to school. He can buy the exercise books during recess or after school.

Enjoy your vacation.

Some schools would give the booklist first and some would wait till posting results are out. These decision are made by the school management and their bookshop collectively.

Would suggest to explain your situation to the office and see if there can be an exception. Otherwise, DS can buy when he starts school. It’s actually less load to carry to school that way.

Have a good holiday!
