[quote=\"Verysuperkiasu\"]Hi Firefly and Ms Tay


Did you check your ds' boarding schedule? Mine's during the 2nd Term. That'll give us some time to prepare.

Also, OBS is during the 2nd week I think, according to ds. He's not too sure too.

OBS is from 6th to 10th.. my DS boarding in term 1 starts from 12 Jan... He needs to board again in term3.Going to miss him :nailbite:

why he got to board 2 times? :? I read the OBS slide that the parents supposed to check in with the kid and sit for the briefing? But the one on 12 Jan is only for those boarding in term 1 right? So they will repeat the briefing every term for the new batch coming in?[/quote]DS told me all prefects need to board in term3. I thk they will brief every batch. I saw the slides too.

Hi VSK..

DS' boarding is not in Term-1 too.. DS is happy coz he says Term-2 & Term-3 boarding is 10-weeks, whereas Term-1 boarding is 9-weeks only (minus 1 week at OBS)..

Yes, OBS is in week-1 (6-10 Jan).. 2nd & 3rd Jan is in week-0 of Term-1 next year.. Have you packed the items for OBS ? I have 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:

Welcome to RI, ksbhp & DS ! :rahrah:

Enjoy & have fun @ RI !!

Happy Holidays (1 week left only) !!! :celebrate:

Thank you firefly38 !

Haha your ds really likes boarding - the longer the better.

I haven't packed for OBS yet - don't know where I placed the briefiing slides - the packing list should be in there. Got to start looking for it.

Hi there! I’m looking out for transport service from our home in Tampines to RI. Any recommendations?


I’ve called the numbers on the flyers handed out on Registration Day but no one’s come back to me. Thought I’d standby a few in case that falls through. Tia.

Yr3 class allocation is out! Hope all your DS got their 1st choice.

My DS got his 1st choice!

DS knew he got his 1st choice subject combi last month. He just told me his new class. A few boys from his Year-2 class are in the same class as DS..

Wonder how the Year-3 classes are allocated. By subject combi, then GPA ? Do the sports classes remain intact in Year-3 ?

Hi. There is no history textbook in the booklist. Does the school use any history textbook?

Ngl.. How did the meeting go this morning ? DS went along ?

Not to worry.. RI uses its own in-house History materials (different from those in bookshops).. The boys will be advised when to get them when term starts.. Some classes will do History (or Geography) in Terms 1 & 2, while others will do it in terms 3 & 4..
