For sec 1 reporting day, what time will it end?

Have you bought the sch uniforms from Bibi & Baba earlier ?

If it is just registration, filling up forms, buying books etc, it should end before noon. The queue for sch uniforms can be very long, so be prepared to wait, if you have not bought the sch uniforms..

Alternatively, you can buy the books (at the bookshop) / sch uniforms (at Bibi & Baba) on another day..

[quote=\"mickeyhmh\"]DS1 is aiming to for RI in 2015 (psle 2014). My brother has promised him an ipad if he gets in. Could someone please advise whether ipad or laptop would be more useful in RI? Don't want to get too many gadgets for DS1 if possible. Thanks.

It depends on whether you want to give him a toy or a tool...

May the Force be with You.

the boys can also use the pc in the library...but if anything can motivate him to do well to get in, it is worth it....that is the point...if he can get in, even 5 ipads you will get him, no ?[/quote]I guess I should ask which software will be commonly used - Windows or Mac related ones. I want to give him a tool that will be useful for schoolwork, not for social or games.

For the secondary side, it is nearer to bishan mrt. Marymount mrt is nearer to the JC side.

Anyone can advise whether is there a need to buy new textbooks for third language like French? Are the bks the same for the past years? I am not sure son can even sustain for a year or not…

Hi RI ks parents here,

Glad to find this thread ... Just completed my DS registration at RI on Mon and brought him to practice taking public transport between Sch and home.
I was impressed with the organization of the registration, the participation of senior rafflesians.

RI is totally new to me, will be visiting this thread to learn new things about RI Sch life. Already read some good advices from past posts.
:thankyou:
