Hi all,


Sorry if this sounds redundant. Just wanna check if we got the correct book for Y1. The Geography book stated for upper secondary, is there no lower secondary book?

TIA.

Should be correct.

My gal was disappointed to hear from the principal on reporting day that they won’t be moving to the new campus. She felt that the present campus looks ‘sleepy’ and was looking forward to the new school. What about your daughters?

I guess it depends on what she's used to and expects. My daughter came from a school overseas which was much smaller and with much poorer facilities, and to her, the school is huge and wonderful. There are limitations because of the lack of space, but the girls make do and manage quite well. Anyway, your daughter, if she is in Yr1 in 2015, will be in the new campus for Yr4, I think?

Hi KPFan,

I'm going to be a Year 1 Girl next year. Yes, I was disappointed that the Principal had told us that we wouldn't be able to enjoy the facilities of the new campus during our time in RGS as a student. In the RGS website, it had been stated that the new campus would be moved-into in 2018, and thus I had had hope that we would at least be able to spend one year of our time in the new campus, because the current campus is a bit old and the thought of being the first batch to move into the new campus was really exciting.

I have one unclear thought, though. In Mrs Poh Mun See's speech, she had said that we would only be moving to the new campus in 2019, and she had said that the parents need not worry that their daughters' studies will be disrupted during the move to the new campus. Perhaps she thinks that the parents don't want their daughters to move campus, and has thus extended the construction period by one year? O.o I don't know if I'm thinking too deeply about this, but perhaps if Mrs Poh mentions this thought again, I can try to politely let her know that most of the Girls would like to experience the new campus before moving to Raffles Junior College. We'll just see how everything turns out.

There is also the possibility that she is stating 2019 as an overestimated figure so that the parents will not expect the Girls to be able to move to the new campus at all, and then she'll be able to surprise us if the construction and fund-raising turns out to be completed by 2018? I dunno. It's a far-fetched idea, but a girl can hope.

It's a known fact that RGS will only be relocated in about 2018 (is reported in the news, as well as shown on the school website), hence, don't understand why your DD should be disappointed.

Has she taken a trip to the new campus' location? Or does she know where's the new location? Hope after finding out, she will not be disappointed again.

Also, students who apply to RGS is due to their program, not due to
the outlook of the campus, they don't judge a book by it's cover.
