babyA:

Hi appreciate if anyone can answer some of my queries...thanks!


1. Is it confirmed that it will be single session at Hillcrest in 2016?
Yes, Principal had already announced, confirmed this -
at \"Parents Meet Principal\" session inside Lecture Theatre 1, held in January 2015. School will start to shift back stuff, coming December 2015. Principal will also announce this news to the new Alumni members who just joined, at the coming AGM meeting.

2. PE for Primary 1 includes swimming ?
PE Swimming lessons : only meant for P2 students.
Not any other level.

for P1 : may note the difference.
PE Swimming : not for P1.
Swimming Cca : P1 however, are allowed to join Swimming, as a Cca.


3. After moving back to Hillcrest, will the PE swimming lessons still be at Clementi ?
After shift back : Principal did not mention which pool to go to, yet. But normally will choose one much closer to Hillcrest, for convenience to students.

4. If the school becomes single session, so PE swimming lessons will be in the morning or afternoon ?
Do/can parents be at the pool to fetch the girls back?
after school become single session (next year) -
PE swimming Time not decided, yet.
2016 P2 parents will be informed in due course, nearer the time.

PE Swimming lessons : only apply to P2 students.
P1 un-affected.

for P2 PE swimming -
only Parent Volunteer(s) designated, per class : allowed to chaperon girls, accompany them to the pool.
School arrange school bus Transport (those long, Tour bus) : to fetch students, to and fro, from school to pool, and back to school. Two or three classes assigned, go together on same day / timing, with PE Tr and PVs.

Can parents be at the pool, to fetch their daughter, back home ?
depend.
If pupil happen to have Cca, or Re-medial lessons to attend to on that very same day as PE Swimming : then your daughter still need to go back to school.

for single session (long hours, in school):-
Cca / Re-medial lessons for P3 to P6 / Learning Support program (LSP) for P1 / P2 English /Maths timing starting : 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm.

single session going to be long hours -
Lessons start from early morning 7.40 am until 1.45 pm school dismissal, plus afternoon still got Cca, plus other on-going activities, Some staff commented that actually don't even need any \"After school\" care centre.
Adult office working hours : from 9 to 6 pm
Single session here even longer : from 7.20 am to 5.30 pm

Next Friday : 6 march, Water Sports (Final)

Water Sports Timing : 10.30 am to 4.30 pm

those involved in the swimming competition, will be at the pool side, waiting for their turn, their name, to be called out : go to different lane in the competition pool (at least 1.8 metre, deep).

Have to be a competent swimmer, as the pool is deep


Those not involved -
remain in school for lessons, as per normal.
Not a school holiday

for 2015 P1 Cca this year -

heard that Rhythmic gymnastics full house : hot, very popular !
The same goes for Art Club.
My friends with P1 dd told me that some failed to get into R gymnastics Cca, nor Into Art Club Cca. They got channelled / assigned into some other third choice Cca instead, because they failed to get into their first choice, nor second choice Cca.

anyone know what kind of Art exposure, do our students get exposed to ? What do they get to learn, in Art Cca ?
pottery clay making, cartoon drawing, manga drawing, portrait still life drawing, oil painting, etc ?

Hi I thought that P1 doesn't have CCA? Was of the impression CCA only starts at p3? Please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks!

Cca is compulsory only from P4, not from P3, in our school

Optional means that P1 to P3 can exercise a choice : to sign up, or not to sign up, for a Cca.

However, There are a fair number of P1s that prefer to start Cca early, instead of wait until P4, since P1 is a \"honeymoon\" year.

for those who decided to sign up for Cca -
they can list down a few choices (in case they can't get their 1st choice), stating their sequence of priority.
Those P1 who had signed up for Rhythmic gymnastics or Art Cca this year, happen to meet overwhelming response, so end up some unable to get into either of these 2 popular Cca.

Some schools have CCAs starting P1.

Usually priority is given to P2s who were in the similar CCA the previous year. Eg: P1 in RG, P2 will be RG too. However, for those that not in CCA in P1, may not get the first choice to join RG in P2 as there are existing P2s who are in RG since the previous year. Unless they are going to open up more classes of RG on other days, they will not be able to cater to the additional demand of girls interested in RG.

Choir was also very popular. It seems. But I dono how it's being assigned. Cos my dd got 1st choice choir. But her classmate got into 2nd choice band but didn't get the 1st choice choir.

Just wondering whether it would be stressful hmm...
On this same note, (not sure if this been discussed before), but can I know the \"relevant\" skills that a girl entering P1 at RGPS must already have? E.g -must already be able to read fluently?, do math equation?, know how to swim? Many thanks for the advice!
