What is the Grade Point Average (GPA)?

A Singapore Government Agency Website
We have two types of assessments: formative and summative assessments.
Formative Assessments are assessments for learning. These are assessments designed to develop the students' knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts. Grades are assigned to the work, but greater emphasis is placed on teachers' feedback and qualitative comments.
Summative Assessments are assessments of learning. These assessments evaluate the students' competence in a topic, unit of study, module or skills.
There are various modes of assessment: time-based pen and paper tests, essays, journaling, oral presentations, performance tasks, science practical tests, and portfolios.
Performance tasks are a special feature of the Raffles Programme Assessments, as they require students to demonstrate their understanding of a topic or unit of study through deep analysis of the problem and presenting a synthesis of their understanding or a solution to the problem. These performance tasks are authentic tasks to solve real-life problems.
There are four Student Leadership Boards:
Prefectorial Board: Prefects are custodians of school traditions, culture and school spirit. Discipline is also undertaken by the Prefectorial Board.
Peer Support Board: The Peer Support Leaders look into the well-being of RGS girls, especially the Year 1s and help them adapt to RGS school life.
Student Congress: Congress represents the student population, raising students’ issues to the School Administration for school improvement.
House Committee: House Committee members promote House spirit, and each House committee leads 20% of the student population (Years 1 – 4) in House activities, Inter-House Games and school events like the Sports Festival.
Leaders in the Community: There are also student leaders in Class Committees, CCA leaders, project group leaders, VIA project leaders, and so on. All are important to the school as we strive to make every girl a leader, whether in formal leadership roles or in student-initiated projects and activities.
