Dear parents,


My DS wants to interview a deaf student/teacher for his RI Research Education project. Is there any...

His Project Title is \"Problems Deaf Students aged 7-12 in Singapore face when
Learning Languages\".

Any help will be appreciated.

His team had tried to engage with Singapore School for the Deaf, but did not get any response. Hope any of parents here can introduce one.

Perhaps, you may want to start a new thread on this, as not everyone would (want to) read the RI thread.. Hopefully, there will be more responses to your request then.. Good Luck !!

Thanks, KiasuGrandMaster suggestion. My kid finally get arranged to interview a designated teacher for the interview to close the project.

Any idea what is the percentage of year3 students attending at least 1 term of boarding school each year?


How come RGS no boarding school program for local students?

[snowlotus]

btw, if not register during the boarding registeration period by 4 Oct, does it mean that not able to attend term 1 boarding school next year?

I think the facilities and program are quite good, as long as your kid can self-control very well

Any idea whether students in JC science combination, can still be allowed to enter Accantancy/Economic majors in Uni?

Thanks, firefly for the information.

I wasn't there - DH went with DS. DH said he didn't go into the dormitory coz it was quite crowded. Asked them to take picture and ds only took one picture - the bed. :slapshead: The pic in the brochure very limited - show mostly students instead of the facilities.

Do u know if we can pay by Edusave? (Not sure if edusave fund even have $900).

How do they determine who are the academically weak students for the supervised studying? Brochure says 'the tutors or boarding staff ensure that students are studying in the rooms or designated venue.' Just wondering how feasible it is for the staff to ensure if the boys are studying in their rooms behind closed doors?

Which term is you ds likely to be boarding in?
