Hi Zioner & raynreg


My DS is in class 1E too. Nice to know u all!

Hi, so nice to hear from you too :D. So we have 3 parents from class 1E. BTW, any idea if 1E comes with the tagline endurance or graciousness??? The letter we received from the teacher (1st day) had a wrong teacher's name (probably cut and paste) and had 1E (graciousness) written. DD says graciousness should be for 1G instead.... we are so confused now!

My DS told me his class is 1 Graciousness(formerly known as 1E).

Hi, its been 2 hectic weeks in school… how is everyone coping? Seem to have some homework and spelling list is out. DD is writing stuff in her diary for homework and reminders, don’t think we did that during our time in Pri 1! And yes, its 1 Graciousness, not sure if they have dropped 1E for now…

Hi ST, glad to see u here together wif Zioner... how are the kids doing in school? The class name of 1 \"Graciousness\" is really long.. Everytime when I see the kids write them down on their assignment :faint: . In their classroom, they pasted the simplified version of it \"Grace\".... I guess ours has the longest class name compared to Honesty, Kindness, etc

Hello RVian Parents,

It’s been a while since my last post. In regard to the new class/house names, it has been the P’s good intention to ‘re-invent’ the school. This has been one of the initiatives mooted out which include the new school motto and mission.

Like other parents with kids from the upper levels, I’ve noticed that there are also other changes this year compared to the past i.e. school camps for the lower primary, use of Art Textbooks etc. On the academic aspect, be prepared that this year onwards, more challenging questions will be set in CAs and SAs.

Let’s keep ourselves updated.

Hi, I’m thinking of registering my girl into RVPS this year. Doing PV there so stand a good chance to get it. Kids seem to be quite happy here, though a bit noisy during recess and after school (maybe same in other school I’m not sure). May I ask you guys what kind of CCA’s are available in the school? How are the teachers? are there a lot of homework?

Looks like you are staying very very near to the school. Which school isn't noisy during recess and after school? As for CCAs, you may want to check from the school website. From my limited knowledge, soccer, volleyball, aesthetics are the popular ones. Teachers? I could only say they are dedicated. Homework? Not so much for P1 and 2 but as they progress to higher levels, certainly alot to cope with for my boys, at least! (I think the better the class you belong, the higher the expectations from teachers, who may teach more and supply more than what's supposed to be taught).

Thanks for your reply puffer. I don't live that close to the school but I am there doing PV :lol:

Hi Minnie 2004,


U are already doing PV now? May I know whether there is any interview/selection process? What i understand from the school is that they normally do not conduct interview and generally all parents are accepted for PV… is it true?

What sort of work are the school lookg at?

Thanks!!

Hi XK, yes I’m doing PV there now. There was no interview but according to the principal in the PV briefing session, not all applicants are accepted.


I’ve done library duties, accompanied students to plays, and helped out on CCAs. Their PSG involvement is quite high but they’ll generally try to find work for those 40-hr PVs to complete their hours.
