Is time to learn to take risk within the boundary

I'll tell my daughter! In this respect, she's much like me - conservative!

According to my girl, there is no limitation on the shoes at jc. U can wear any shoes in any colours for your convenience. Not like secondary school (Rgs ), the shoes has the limitations on white. That is happiest thing for parents and students.

Can anyone enlighten what is the value of a Raffles Diploma, whether with merit or distinction? Thank you.

For local universities, I don't think it really matters. For university courses which have some kind of interview, and possibly overseas universities, I guess it adds to the info you can provide about the student and it might help. I'm doubt that the RD counts for more than the A level results! I tell my daughter not to worry too much about it. Of course, she does take note what counts towards the various RD grades, but doesn't focus too much on it.

Is there any GPA requirement for subject combi in Y5? Like need 3.6 to take certain subjects or certain number of subjects?

Question about uniforms for girls. I was hoping RGS would brief the girls, but it seems it hasn’t been done. Can anyone tell me what pieces of uniform there are? I know there are blouse and skirt, and presumably PE shorts and T-shirt, but what else? Ties, badges etc? Anything similar to the RGS culottes? Is the vendor Bibi & Baba? What’s the recommended no. of pieces to get? I know I have time, but we have a lot of stuff coming up and Jan will be a busy month for me, so I’d like to clear some of this "admin" early if possible. Thanks!

Not very sure. But I vaguely rem one mom told me need to get at least a gpa of 3.2 in year 4. Otherwise, the child can only take 3 H3 in year 5. I didn't verify the info though and it happened some years ago. Things may have changed. If yr son is thinking of taking RA in year 5, I believe it would be a gpa of min 3.6 and plus going through some selection tests.

Not being very helpful here. As the kids grow, they become more independent and made their own decisions. Things that they may have told us, we can no longer rem so well. Have yr son decided on the subjects combination and bought the long pants? Do not throw away the shorts though. They can still wear the shorts in year 3 if they wish to.

Not sure about the girls. The boys can continue to wear their old ri unform in year 5 n 6. So my son didnt buy any uniform in year 5. Only need to buy pe t shirt as the design is different. He has 2 sets of pe. I noticed that he has pe lesson twice a week. Vendor shld still be bibi & baba.
