River Valley High School [*IP]

I think many teachers are busy with the RV60. Last 2 days, my DD told me no PE, almost no math lessons, no English lessons, etc

Daughter came home with homework for English, Chinese, Math and Geography

[paithorn]

Wow… So different. Mine only geography homework.

Dear parents,

May I know how much money you give your child everyday to go to school? I used to give dd $3 a day in primary school, I think it might not be enough for secondary school.

You may wish to find out the average cost of a meal in sch and then probably add 50% more if he/she is having food during recess too.

FYI, I give my dd $4 per day since she brings bread/biscuits to sch for recess.

I haven't got the chance to go inside the school, not sure what is the average cost of a meal. Anyone knows?

Dear parents,

My dd is currently in Sec 1 in RV. My ds is in P6 this year so it will be very convenient if he can go to RV. However, his normal Chinese is currently 70+ marks only though his other subjects are good.

My concern is whether he will be able to cope with HCL. If a student fails HCL in RV, what happens?

I think Year 1 students need to get at least a B4 for HCL at year end

At least B4 for HCL & EL is for full promotion.
If C5/C6, will still be advanced to Year 2. Will not be retained in Year 1 just because HCL is not at least B4. I guess this is probably your greatest concern.

talking about retain/repeat, I dont think the figure for each level is high or hush hush?
