Raffles Institution has been organizing a Supervised Study Program for its Year 1 to 4 students since 2009. This program lasts for 2 weeks in May and 4 weeks in October just before Common Test and Year End Examination respectively. Students who achieve a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 2.8 and below for one or more subjects have to stay back in one of the 2 Lecture Theatres for self study for the duration between 2:00 -5:30pm. These students will be under close supervision by different subject teachers on duty. Students are encouraged to seek the teachers on duty for clarification besides revising their school work.
This year, the Apr-May SSP was another successful school event supported by RPA whereby we made sure students were given a quiet place and time with teachers who helped them revise their school work before Common Test.
RPA assists by organizing parent volunteers to help register the students upon their arrival. RPA also budgets a yearly amount to purchase snacks & drinks for the students’ consumption during SSP’s break. We are also grateful to have received sponsorship from a Year 6’s parent for bottled drinking water during this SSP. Parent volunteers helped to ensure SSP was conducted in a conducive manner and with minimum disruption to the teachers. Feedback from the school had shown that students who attended the SSP had shown improvement for their Common Test.
RPA looks forward to assisting the school for the next SSP in October.
