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?

Yes there is. At the JC side.

Is it at the same building as Popular?

Btw, is there any car decal for RI? I forgot to ask about it.[/quote]Is further down. Near popular there is a cafe Mana. I don't think there is car decal for RI. The guard will let us drive in. Just let him know u fetching DS.

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

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?

[ngl2010]

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

Can secondary school student get an access to open that gate?[/quote]Can tong-pang the big bros & sis, when using the JC entrance in Jan/Feb.. Once the boys get their new EzLink cards, they can have access to all gates (many of them) in RI..

Did you all explore the Boarding and swimming pool side?

In case you have not been informed, all classrooms in RI are air-conditioned, so may be quite cold. If your DS is 怕冷 type, better to bring a sweater to school. My DS is 怕热 type, so he really enjoys studying in the COLD..

Thank you for the info, Firefly :hugs:

Btw, can the boys use ezLink card to buy food from vending machine and also 7-11?

Our guide during the Open House showed us the Boarding and swimming pool. Does PE include swimming?

DS likes cool temperature but not cold. I guess I will ask him to judge first before bringing his sweater. Any sweater can?

Is there any rules and regulations sheet? In DS's primary school, the rules and regulations are printed in the school diary and we must sign to acknowledge and agree to it. So we know the disciplinary action for each misbehaviours. When he was in lower Primary, the list was useful to scare him that his school will cane him if he misbehaves and I support his school's disciplinary actions

Sorry for the so many questions :imsorry:

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.

Hi, i stayed in Bedok and managed to get a private bus that pry around east area. PM me if you want the contact of the drive

They don't memorise poems anymore. It's more like analyse poems using literary devices.

I dont know abt this year but last year, the boys were asked to compose poems.

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 said the class allocation for year 3 done both by subj combi followed by GPA. But I am also wondering about the sports/dsa boys - are they mixed with the rest according to subj combi?
