River Valley High School [*IP]

[paithorn]

I counted on orientation day. Total 248 girls and for boys. Slight more than half. That is approx 400 pupils in 10 classes from 1A - 1J. So it is 40 per class? That’s quite huge for IP?

[quote=\"paithorn\"]Hi, my dd joining RV 2016. I think iPad not scrapped. The 2016 will be t-loaned iPads

if iPad is still used in sch, I think it is better to buy it.
Students use it heavily in sch work ...

Welcome to RV family!

If anybody has any queries, feel free to share and hopefully some seniors may be able to provide some tips.

Thank you starlight1968sg

I assume your DC is a senior in RV. Are they strict about the white and navy blue sweater? Must be really plain? Also watches. A pink Baby G is ok?[/quote]I did saw students wearing color watches during open house, school rules also no mentioned so should be fine.

You all bought track shoes or canvas shoes?

I’ve not bought shoes. Told my DD to continue P6 shoes first and observe week 1 in school what people are wearing. As a teenager, tracks shoes should be better for them…

That is a lot of students, include appeal cases. Visually, plenty from rulang. Abt the ipad thingy, not much details reveal yet. But as long as materials are on portal, can download at home.

I think during the orientation week, new students will be shown demos of each cca. There will be trials, interviews. We will be filling up choices just like selecting sec school. And will be waiting for posting results just sec school postings. Appeal cases will start to come in after that. Sounds awfully familiar process.

Popular choices will be like wushu, badminton and other star sports. Then there are standard offerings like ncc, npcc. Shooting is interesting too.

My answer to you is, keep an open mind cos cca will follow u for years.it will be fun to explore and make ypur choices with your parents.

It is a choice both make together. Teenagers are smart and IT savvy, but wisedom comes with age and experience.
