River Valley High School [*IP]
-
DD Super happy after first day of school. She made new friends and played class games as part of orientation. Wow her class has around 34 students. Boys only around 10+
The principal told during assembly that this year a record number of students had put RV high as their first choice (~80%).
The school canteen stalls were not fully open so limited choices to eat. DD ended up eating bread..hope she sticks to more nutritious meals in future.
Hope all your kiddos had a grand day as well! -
Unsure if the canteen in the hostel block is open for business

34 kids in a class? Is that a bit big for an IP class or is it the norm? My boy in another IP sch has 25-6 kids in a class.DD Super happy after first day of school. She made new friends and played class games as part of orientation. Wow her class has around 34 students. Boys only around 10+

Ya me too thought IP should be about 25 kids, but RV seems to have a bigger class cohort size. Not sure if this the same each year or a bumper crop this year only…
Classes are able to accommodate that amount till section J. I do remember principal telling during open house that they take about 400 kids for Sec 1. If we use 35 per class for 10 sections, it comes to 350 kids. For RV highly possible scenario.
I did hear some IP school intake is half of this number -

Might be consolidation due to falling intake overall nationally because even my son's ACS(I) IP (IB) class has about 34 students as well which is weird because based on past comments in the ACS (I) thread, it should be closer to 25-30. -
Oh ya good point. Highly possible as well. I did see lot of school consolidation this year.
For DD STill smaller than primary as p6 had 42 students in a class. -
Oh I see. Thanks for the feedback.

Is there any residential camp for orientation and whole of Year 1?
