Did she get asked interesting questions by the parents? I recall the strange enthusiastic questions my dd was asked when she was at Open Houses in the past.

Strange enthusiastic qns...... wow she din have that.
She did 3 rounds of sch tour for parents.

Qns : -
1. Why RGS does not have boarding house as what NYGH and RI have
2. Is RGS life stressful for students
3. How did you fare for PSLE and the scorecard
4. Which CCA are you taking
5. Do the teachers really teach
6. Are the students independent learners

Q3..... Favourite question.[/quote]I asked some of these qns last year. The two girls I talked to shared their PSLE scores, their primary schools, their CCAs. They gave my DD a good dose of encouragement, advice, self-motivational tricks with much enthusiasm. DD really listened to them and took their advice to her heart. One conversation was more effective than many of my lectures at home.

question 3, not necessary.. all from academic route at least 26x , or GEP, Don't see a need to ask! :imcool:


What is most critical question, it should be: \"what make you happy in RGS or what are the things in RGS that makes you happy?\" :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

It is pretty true one conversation with RGS girls was more effective than many of lectures by parents.

Heard that the CCA training in RGS are like 2-3 times a week... Is there any slacking CCA?

Some of my daughter’s friends are from photography club and infocomms club. They have only one training per week. But prior experience are required to get into these clubs. For photography, candidates are assigned a task. They need to take a number of shots and submit photos within 2 hours of time. For infocomms club, candidates need to submit portfolios of past projects.

If I am not wrong, the members of the photography club are also mobilised to take photos and videos at school events, concerts organised by the performing arts CCAs and competitions.

Which often means time spent at the rehearsals as well as the actual events.

Actually all CCAs are supposed have at least 2 trainings a week now, this includes photography club. Not sure about the Infocomm club tho. Photography club members are also deployed to cover the school events like alng and slmkhoo have shared, as well as participate in national competitions and put on exhibitions, so it's not exactly a very \"slack\" CCA since a lot of the work is not actually done during CCA time but more of outside CCA time.
Personally, I feel that all CCAs are all quite demanding in their own ways, just that some CCAs' work are more widely known and recognised.
