Hi slmkhoo..

First day of school for RI Yr-5 is 11 Jan (Mon).

Wear what ar? RGS uniform?

Some of them wear the rgs uniform till the JAE students join. No problem.

11 jan 2016, what are they going to do? Ice breaking or proper lessons?

I'm very sure it won't be proper lessons! Probably some form of orientation? Anyway, I'm sure the girls (and boys) will know how to delay the start of proper lessons! As for uniforms, I expect that the girls should start with RGS uniforms at first. They won't have school badges yet, and I don't think they should wear the uniform without the badge.

proper lessons start after a few days of orientation

what is taught won't be repeated when the JAE students join

they can buy the uniform from bibibaba now and the badge from the on-campus Popular Bookshop

One or 2 lectures here and there and briefings, CCA trials etc. The JIP timetable will be released nearer to JIP itself It's a good time for exploring the school because there will usually be large pockets of empty time.

If they started with a bit of lessons here and there. Orientation here and there. CCA briefing here and there. The JAE students will be at disadvantage, aren’t they?

I heard that orientation and CCA briefings will be repeated for JAE students. But not the lessons (based on what Choco05 said). They've been doing this for years, so I exect that what they JAE students miss isn't anything crucial.

GP need to go for tuition? Any recommendation?

Hi,

Just came back from RI. Uniforms (shirts, shorts and pants) are available at Popular at RI. No need to go to Far East Plaza. Sizes may be limited though.
