RI wifi can't be used to play games although there is a way if the boy/girl has an Android phone :evil:

Hi, sorry to send this a few times, we found one student, just need one more to start a group!


Forming a RI sec 2 (2016) math tuition group, looking for a few group mates.

Hi, my boy is currently RI sec 1, going to Sec 2 next year. He is currently doing a 1:1 tuition with his math tutor.

The tutor is quite good and able to explain clearly the concepts. He has taught many IP school students including those from RI. He knows the syllabus well and gives worksheets from various IP schools. But his schedule is very tight and is not able to teach 1:1 when school open. So I would like to look for a few RI students from the same level to form a small group. I am staying near Bartley area which is 3 MRT stations away from RI. The tutor is able to travel to my house. Interested parents, please contact me at 94590289 Joyce.

Additional info on the tutor: The tutor holds a master degree from NUS and has graduated as the top student of his faculty. There were many examples of students’ improvements on his website http://www.maximath.sg

My Ds was saying the network is a bit slow, but then hes using iphones. Surprise that RGS doesnt provide wifi fr phones.
My Dd will have to manage those watsapp usage then. Welcome to RI!

How's RI's Wifi like? Can handphones connect to it? Thanks.

Extensive. Tell your boy to switch off 4G @ campus..

Thanks! Good to know that

Does RI mandate laptops, or a certain model of laptops?

Firefly,

RI, HCI, SA and SM for my girl. Haha... Their school locations r all over except near my home!

Thank u for ur well wishes. I also feel that independent schools should be allowed some flexibility, but well ... mOE always has the final say! Yes hci is a great school too but the distance is a killer haha... But he is looking fwd so Im sure he will enjoy his school life.

Sounds like your DS had lots of fun. Which country did he go to? Wishing him all the best in his JC life too. Heard many of them will start developing interest in the opposite sex in y5! Haha...

DS went to an nearby Asian country and he absolutely loved it. Due to 'budget cut', the school doesn't encourage overseas trips to Europe and US (even if parents are able & willing to pay).

BGR.. Oh NO !! :scared:

Haha ... I hear hear only! Hopefully mine won't! They have been in boys school all their lives except kindy !

Yes I heard about the budget cut. Its good to hear that he enjoyed himself. Mine r looking fwd too to gapsem! For now, mine is looking forward to check into Bishan Resort this Sunday! (Boarding) he he...

Wow.. Your boys' Boarding is in Term-1 ? They will definitely love the place and enjoy the experience. Home will suddenly be quieter, especially if both your boys are in Boarding at the same time. But you will have more time to spend with your other 3 kids..

I recall when DS1 was in Boarding, I showered all my attention & 'tender loving care' on DS2, who was taking PSLE that year. When DS1's Boarding ended, DS2 felt so relieved that he could finally share my 'tender loving care' with his brother..

Unfortunately, only one is boarding this term the younger one in term 2. I tell myself I have one less to nag at these 2 terms, not too bad! Haha...

So timely that ur ds1 boarded during psle timing n u can give all ur 'love' to ds2! R both boys in RI now?
