Events after Enrolment

 

Entrance Assessments

Ages for entry are taken as of 1 April, eg candidates for class PG entry must be 2.5+ but not 5 by 1 April of the year of entry into the School. The days of the assessments are deliberately kept as informal as possible by the School. We realise that it can be a very unnerving experience for candidates and so we do our best to put them at ease throughout the day. Rapid Global School allocates children into different class Groups using the following terminology:

Kindergarten

RGS Year Age (at the point of entry)
PG 2.5
LKG 3.5
UKG 4.5
1 5+ and so on

Senior classes

RGS Year Age (at the point of entry)
7 11+
8 12+
9 13+
10 14+
11 15+

Admissions Procedure

For all classes, a completed Registration Form together with the registration fee, a copy of a birth certificate, Transfer Certificate and Marks sheet of the previous class should be sent to the Admissions Manager. We will then request a reference from the candidate’s previous school asking for general details on the student’s. Parents should always notify the previous school of their intentions to move their child.

Entrance Assessments into the Kindergarten(Years 2.5 –5)

The Kindergarten School Assessment is conducted to find out:

Child's ability to sit in a class – on a weekday morning

A mother teacher asks few oral questions:

  • A child’s developed ability (non-verbal reasoning)
  • Reading ability
  • Abilities in general mathematics and mental arithmetic
  • Spelling (Year 5 and 6 only).

Session 2 – a Saturday morning in January

  • Reading – a typed passage will be provided by the school for the children to read. Questions will be asked to demonstrate understanding.
  • Creative Writing – a stimulus will be discussed and explored by candidates who will then be given approximately 15 minutes to plan their work and approximately half an hour to produce.
  • Fun Activities – children will be put into groups with children of the same age to join in a series of activities. Although they are designed to help them make new friends and feel more comfortable with their surroundings, they will be observed throughout the process for behaviour and cooperation skills.
