      Oh yes.. Now I recall what my boy shared with me last year. šŸ˜„

      RI boys assembled on one side of the Hall while RGS gals assembled on the other side (in their respective Y4 classes). Their recess breaks and sample lectures were scheduled at different timings. There was minimal contact between the boys & gals. They could only admire each other from afar. šŸ˜†

      Of course, the boys & gals did interact during CCAs, which started as early as week-1 for students who chose to continue with the same CCA as in sec schools.

      iFF, does your DS1 have girlfriend now? :evil:

      DS said he saw some girls in uniform other than RGS uniform. Do DSA students come earlier than JAE students?

      Yes, the DSA students come in with those in the Rafflesian Programme. iff's son so handsome sure hotly sought after. šŸ˜„

        Very humorous iFirefly! According to my DD, it's true that both genders are separated with minimum/ no contact. Break times are different too. They are with their Y4 Form class. There are auditions for some CCA. As for admiring boys from afar, she didn't mention to me at all.

        This one of course cannot let mommy know.. :evil:

        How's your gal doing so far ? Is she enjoying JC more than Sec Sch ? Has she decided on her CCA?

            No, DS doesn't have a girlfriend. I've advised him not to get involved in BGR in JC, as it's a highly time-consuming and energy-sapping 'CCA'. It may cause unnecessary headaches & heartaches to himself & others, if not properly handled. DS agreed too.

            @ ngl2010.. Why your boy only noticed the gals in other school uniforms ? There're DSA boys in other school uniforms too. :evil:

            @ jtoh.. Not sure if they have House activities before or after JAE students come in.

            Btw, I've noticed the Houses in RIJC have double names, compared to those in RI. Are these (Waddle, Buckle, Hadley, Tarbet, Richardson) the Houses in RGS ?

            - RI Y1-4 : Bayley (yellow), Buckley (green), Hullett (black), Moor (red), Morrison (blue).
            - RIJC Y5-6 : Bayley-Waddle (yellow), Buckle-Buckley (green), Hadley-Hullett (black), Moor-Tarbet (red), Morrison-Richardson (blue).

              House activities start in Orientation, which is when the JAEs come in (3rd Feb).


              Yeah, they combined RG and RI houses to give the RJ houses.

                Errrr.... maybe DS's recess today happened to coincide with RJ's gals recess break? You said the RJ boys and gals have different timings for their break, right? šŸ˜‰

Hadley is purple. Is Hadley-Hullet a black house or black and purple house? I think it has a unicorn (?) as a mascot.

                      They still retain the purple along with black on their House t-shirt (I wash it, so I know!). No idea what the mascot is.
