FYI.


2017 year 1 orientation camp will be 2D1N instead of 3D2N.

Why so short? My Ds is looking forward to it.

My apology for the wrong info above. DS was in the dry run of the camp and the dry run camp was 2D1N so I assumed that the camp is 2D1N. I apologise for the wrong info.

1. Please see the school guide below on the school shoes (your son will get the school guide booklet early next year or you can read the school guide in Stamford14 portal)

No worries. I am just glad that the camp committee didn't shorten the duration. Please thank your boy (and his team) for the effort and time they have put in on my behalf. I'm sure it will be a great experience for my ds.

The registration yesterday was very well-organised and I am very impressed with the RI boys. Very friendly and helpful.

Hello everyone,

My son will be joining RI. For the orientation camp, do the boys sleep in the auditorium? Is the air-con turned on?

[CG mum]

Thank you ngl2010 and iFirefly.

Hi ngl2010..

How was boarding for your DS ? Did your boy sign up for PSL ? Was he involved in Y1 registration this morning ?

Hi iFirefly

He loves boarding so much :love:

Yes, he signed up for PSL and he was involved in Y1 registration this morning. He has been busy this month. Yesterday he helped in packing, today is registration and next will be Camp Ops

Your DS was also a PSL, right? Is the weekly (is it weekly?) interaction time consuming?

Hi ngl2010..

Glad to hear that your DS enjoyed his boarding experience. My DS did too.

Yes, DS was a PSL when he was in Y4. In my opinon, it wasn't time-consuming coz it was a weekly session with the Y1s (every Friday) and for 1 term only. I believe if DS wasn't involved in PSL activities then, he would have been involved in other activities (except studying) in school. Haha..

I recall at the end of Term-1, the Y1s had an Appreciation Party for the PSLs. The gifts DS received were so creative & cute, especially those Thank-You cards made by the Y1 boys and the notes they wrote on them. :love:
