psle2002:

I am also facing the same problem for accessing google email.

Hi psle2002,

I'm not sure if something's changed since my mom called the IT Care Team, but when she called them yesterday, they said that they were still in the process of making the Google Accounts because all of the students were suddenly creating their passwords and it was a bit overwhelming for them. I think they should be done with all of the accounts by the time we start school, but for now it'd be best just to wait.

i'm planning to buy a MacBook pro for my niece. Not sure if I should buy from the Apple shop or just pass her the money to buy from the school? Is the school vendor a better deal? Thanks

The school vendor is selling 128GB Retina Pro at $1825 and 256GB at $2135. The advantage of getting from the vendor is the 3 years hardware warranty(Apple Protection Plan) and 3 years of on-campus support. They also do configuration according to school's requirement.

I've checked with Apple Store, they do not offer any discount for students. So it's more advantageous to get from school, with its offer of goodies.

Thankiew Choco05!


Yeah I guess it would be easier to call the General Office instead of going there by yourself because doing the latter would be sibeh tiring. :3 And I just wanted to say thank you, Choco05, because all of your answers here on Kiasuparents really helped me out a lot when I wanted to know more about RGS (or when my parents were freaking out over details that we didn't know about haha). So thank you again

Oh btw to Swagger and any of the Y1s, can you access the RGS google email yet? O.o In the Orientation Package the password was blank and even Mr Jagmeet Singh's clarification on the iNet site didn't help much. Does anyone know if it's just my problem or if everyone's having it?

Glad to be of help! feel free to keep asking anything questions you have over here or drop me a pm too

Thanks for ya'all helping me

Ahh hello again Swagger I've replied to your PM btw

I can finally be of help. XD I went to RGS today and happened to pass by the Bus Operator Board (the BOB haha) and I remembered that you asked about the Bus Operator thing. Thought some parents might be interested too, so if you haven't called the Gen. Office yet, here's what I know!

So that's about all of the bus services who put up their posters on the BOB (Bus Operator Board), at least by the time I went there today. I hope I helped in some way ^^ And if your area isn't reflected here, don't be afraid to try to ask the bus operator of a nearby area to take yours into consideration, and if that doesn't work, then don't worry! Your daughter will get to learn how to take the public transport and she'll become a pro.

Quick word of my own weird logic: I think it'd be better to choose a bus service that goes to less areas, because then the bus Uncle/ Auntie would only need to go to a few areas and would be able to ferry your child to school more quickly. Also, if you don't want your daughter to get a boyfriend just yet (I sound like a KiasuAuntie when I'm only a KiasuKid :'D) and you're taking the RJC/RI/RGS bus service, then maybe you can advise her not to sit together with a boy on the bus until she's like 16 la. :3

So that's all I guess. If you went like tl;dr then well sorry la but my fingers dropped off for you, you know XD No la. I wouldn't read it myself if I looked at a post this long. Anyway good luck for your Sec School years - happy Kiasu-Parenting! ~

Ehehe i was not rly paying much attention that time(about iNet XD) :siam:[/quote]Inet will be pretty useful later on... for now, just check if there are any updates for year 1s! Must be nice to have access now... in my year we had to wait till end Jan and all the teachers didn't know and continued to give information there so we missed out on many notices!!
