[quote=\"blessedmommy\"]one silly question. my boys asked if can bring small cushion as pillow for the camp??


as for the dress code for investiture, the boys only need to wear their school uniform right? the tie will be given on that day, I heard?

Your boy can bring anything, if its not too big an item that can be squeezed into the bag. My boy rolled up a few t-shirts and used them as pillow, but on the last night, he had no more shirt to roll coz all became Chou-Chou..

Yes, the ties will be presented to the boys by the PSLs before the ceremony begins. By the time the parents go into the hall, the boys will all be seated according to their classes (parents too).. And they will be wearing their ties by then, waving & smiling to you.. :imanisland:

I have a big prob. my #2 said his file went missing from his school bag and all the forms are inside that includes all the giro form and personal particulars as well :scared: sigh...

mine are gg to bring inflatable pillow, the travel kind. haha.. your son v funny!

can we bring camera to the ceremony?[/quote]It's not a very formal ceremony, actually..

Excited parents move around the hall to take photos/videos for their boys, when the form teachers pin the school badge for each boy in his class..

Yes.. You can bring camera/video cam to the ceremony.. Just make sure they are fully-charged..

Many sports talents from the same pri school? Hmm... :scratchhead: SJI Jnr? ACS? :idea:


I actually also wonder how the MS kids are distributed. Looks random (ito t-score) but still, there's some 'clustering' amidst the randomness, unlike what nbm said. There're some very high t-scorer in ds's class, I thought they should join the Geppers? Different practice this year? :scratchhead:

Ds said they r from St stephen...[/quote]

Hi blessedmommy, your twins in year 1 already has cca training?
Btw, must learn tips from you how to make your sons so tall :)[/quote]

my twins are DSA boys. They started training right after PSLE results i think their height has to do with genes. my hubby's and my family have quite tall genes. my male cousins are at least 1.85m so i guess they follow that pattern as well. the twins do eat lots of calcium rich foods when they were younger, not so much now. also, many boys are late bloomers. many shoot up when they hit puberty![/quote]

Hi blessed mommy, your twins are talented.. You r indeed blessed. Thanks for your suggestion.. I jus packed 2 inflatable pillows to my Ds too

Hi Year-3 parents..


In the midst of packing for OBS..

May I ask how many bags are your boys bringing to OBS ? DS says they will be given a back-pack at the camp (he heard from his seniors), so he wants to bring only one hand-carrier. But the carrier is too small to contain all the items (haven't put in sleeping bag, 3x 1.5L bots of water, shoes & sandals yet..)..
