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


TIA

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..

DS and DH went along . All boys that got through appeal were there except one. Maybe that boy is currently overseas :scratchhead:

DS is excited about 7-Eleven. His friend said there is a 7-Eleven in RI but we couldn't find it. Is it true there is 7-Eleven there? Where is it?

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 ?

DS told me his class consists of triple science plus either Geo or history. Not sure about how are they allocated

Is it at the same building as Popular?

Btw, is there any car decal for RI? I forgot to ask about it.

Your DS is a 7-11 fan ?

It is situated at the JC section. After the bookshop, walk further up, nearer to the JC entrance (Marymount MRT side). DS likes to buy waffles from there, sometimes cup noodles too. There are also many sandwiches / snacks / drinks vending machines around the campus. No need to worry our boys will go hungry..

Is your Ds taking public transport to school ? On rainy days, it is advisable for the boys to alight at Marymount MRT station, (turn left) walk through the underpass, exit just at the JC entrance, and walk to the Sec Sch section. Sheltered all the way from Marymount MRT station to the school..

Thank you for sharing the info on car decal

He is not 7-11 fan but he is food fan! He was amazed that a school can have Popular and 7-11

How to open the gate near Marymount MRT? Is it using ezLink card? Can secondary school student get an access to open that gate?

Btw, do the students need to memorize the poems? There is a book of poems for sec 1.
