Heard students can put in a request to change House but both DH & DS didn't think it was necessary. Both are happy to be from different houses. LoL

PS : Where's the venue for Y4 GradNite this year ?

I didn't know can request to change House. I thought it will be nice if DS is in the same House as DH. However, just now I asked DS and he said House is not meaningful so no difference whether he is in the same House as his dad or not.

DS said the venue for GradNite not decided yet. They have conducted survey though.

I heard Mr Chan Poh Meng is retiring and will be replaced by Mr Frederick Yeo, Principal of Crest Secondary School. Mr Yeo was previously RI Vice Principal about 10 years ago.

Is Mr Chan retiring due to health reasons?

Activities are mainly inter-house @ JC, compared to inter-class @ Sec. In that sense, House does carry more 'meaning'' for JC students.

Mr Chan was my GP tutor in JC. I like him very much. Sad to see him leave RI so soon.

I see. It's too late to do anything now
