SG:

Can anyone share the RGS Sec 1 booklist? Also, what is the recommended number of school uniforms, PE attire, ties, culottes, etc.?


Would like to purchase ahead of time to avoid the crowd after posting day.

Thanks for your help.

Hi SG,

I don't have the Sec 1 book list but as for uniforms, I bought 2 pcs of Pinafore, 1 necktie, 1 culottes, 2 sets of PE (shirts/shorts) and 4 pcs white polo shirt. Then later on they will give her house t-shirt, CCA shirt and class shirt which they will use once in awhile.

I hope this will help.

Hi!

Sorry I don't have the booklist either but I bought 2 culottes, 3 sets of uniform and 3 sets of PE attire!
Culottes are usually worn with all kinds of other shirts like PE shirts on Wednesdays, house T-shirts and CCA shirts, class shirts or just any school approved shirts. So personally I feel that two is enough to rotate and wear during events which are mostly in the first semester of Y1.
For uniform it's practically worn everyday except Wednesday (if you are lazy to change) because it is required for everyone to change out of PE attire after PE.
And 1 tie is enough although some classmates keep a spare one in their locker in case they forget to bring their ties to school on Thursday (formal morning assembly needs tie).
Also, there are usually 2 PE lessons per week for Y1 so actually 2 is enough, but sometimes special events may require to wear PE. Actually I think I should have bought 2 PE shirts and 3 PE shorts hahhahaha the school shorts are really useful!

[/quote]Thanks Honeyfirebird. What about school shoes? Do they have to be white? Or are sports shoes allowed, in certain colors only?

School shoes can have different colours in it as long as 80% of the shoe is white. Also the rubber part surrounding the sole of the shoe must be white. (not sure how to describe that part basically its the part that is nearest to the ground when you walk hahahahha)
Oh yea and socks must be visible at all angles too! Actually more information will be given during the orientation days so yeah can listen out for more info XD

Thanks again Honeyfirebird.[/quote]

Also, the colour cannot be too bright. Neon colours are not acceptable even if 80% of the shoe is white

[quote="Jx2mum"]Can anyone kindly advise if it’s tough to take biology and geography together for A levels?

Is yr child thinking of choosing BCMG ?
Unless H1 Geog, which is only 1/2 the content of H2 Geog…

Yes, she is thinking of choosing BCMG, all H2s. Thanks.[/quote]

I know a senior who did BCMG, all H2s and got B for Biology in A level. This is unexpected as she was very very hard working and got a GPA of 3.7-3.8 back in RGS. I personally don’t recommend your daughter to take Biology and Geography together, unless if she finds it easy to remember the content for either Biology or Geography. While Biology is about remembering keywords and explaining them in a precise, succinct way (I was from Bio RA), from what I have heard from my friends, you know to remember every single word for Geography.

Leaving all these cautionary notes aside, some people say that it’s all about the interest of the students at the end of the day. If your daughter is really interested in these two subjects, and she has the perseverance, then why not? Each individual is different, some people can cope, some can’t.

Is it still possible to change CCA in year 3?

Why do I always hear that the teachers don’t teach for this school and the students very westernized?


Parents / students please enlighten

Oh my, which era are you living in? That sounds like a quote from time gone by.

I think we need to define what we mean by \"teachers teaching\". Does it mean spoonfeeding? Giving endless worksheets and remedial lessons? Giving answers for everything? If yes, then most teachers in the top schools don't teach.

\"Westernized...\": how do you do define that? Does speaking good English constitute that? Or saying one doesn't like Chinese language? Or they only listen to Western pop? But that's just a preference right? And do you think SAP school students are not \"westernised\"?

Sorry, don't mean to sound irritated but exactly where did you \"hear\" all this from?
