One of the funds available from school is 1823 Fund. Student may apply for it any time. No discrimination. Anyone with needs can apply, as long as RI student. General office has the appln forms.

ESIP will cover $200 a month and she can get Independent School Bursary from government http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/financial-assistance/files/financial-support-schemes-scholarships-awards-independent-schools.pdf. Also, RI has many scholarships other than those stated here http://issuu.com/ripub/docs/ri-prospectus_book-hr__final_. It is best to call the General Office.

No discrimination on nationality too. As long as is RI students.

The MOE based financial grant or scholarship is citizen based. The 1823 fund is school's own fund.

How was the JRIC last Friday ? Did any mommies (& daddies) use the tissues they brought along ? :oops:


You mean the PSLs led the Yr-1 boys into the Hall ? I recall, 3 years ago, the Yr-1s were already seated (by classes) in the Hall, when the parents arrived. And the parents were led to sit near to our boys' classes (1-2 rows in front). So, the parents were seated amongst the boys..

This year, it seems like the Yr-1 boys were seated in the middle, while the parents were seated by both sides, of the Hall (courtesy of janitor's photo )..

Did the boys perform the Rafflesian cheers & feet-stomping feat ? The awesome experience is still fresh in my mind, after 3 years. The thot of it makes me have goose bumps, even now.. :love:

I guess they changed the flow.

yup, parents seated at the side according to classes with empty seats for the Yr 1 in the middle.

Year 1s make their grand entrance, followed by staffs, and the programme went on.

And yes, they did do the cheers

A big thank you to the PSLs for the effort and support given to the Y1s. My DS said the PSLs were very kind, friendly and helpful throughout the orientation. We enjoyed every minute of the Investiture too!!!

1) Can parents/students comment on life in Year 5 and 6?


2) Do the teachers provide sufficient help? Or students need to rely on tuition?

TIA.

Hi all, new to this thread and not too active but since DS just joined RI as year 1, will love to hear and share experiences with other RI parents and students esp from fellow year 1 parents. Any parent with DS in 1C class?

Dear Seniors


Tmr some classes are having compulsory CCA profiling. Starts at 230pm. Sch ends at 210pm. There is only one break in the morning.

How will the kids have their lunch…the CCA profiling ends at 645pm so it may not be a good idea to skip lunch.

Any advice?
