      Yes, bought the uniform. Just wear uniform and bring some writing materials and stationery on first day will do?

      I don’t remember any formal lessons on first few days. Get ready to select the CCA

        As far as I gather from the registration pack, the child has to bring the following on 1st day: (1) report book (if not submitted during registration), and (2) the reply form on parents briefing.


        Orientation starts on second day and the child has to bring the hard copy of his/her VIA survey results.

        I suppose I will let DD wear school uniform on first day of school after which the children should be given instructions on orientation attire for the next few days. No lessons during first week due to orientation so likely some basic stationery to go with.

            Just wondering how soon one has to decide and what's the chance of getting accepted into the preferred CCA. My DD is interested in netball but she has no prior involvement in the form of CCA.

                For the previous batch (2017 intake), there was a CCA trial for over a week for students to try out after school. After the CCA trial they were given a deadline to submit their options (6, iirc). Many CCA’s don’t require prior experience, though it’s highly preferred.

                    RV’s 2017 A-Level Results page states the following:


                    98.3% of the cohort scored at least 3H2 + GP Pass
                    99.6% of the cohort scored at least 4H2 + GP Pass

                    Anyone knows if this is a typo? It doesn’t make sense.

                      Hi, the website says this:
                      98.3% of the cohort scored at least 3H2 + GP Pass
                      99.6% of the students who offered 4H2 subjects scored at least 4H2 + GP Pass

                      Not all the students take 4H2 subjects, so the 98.3% is inclusive of 3H2 and 4H2 while the 99.6% only refers to those who take 4H2

                        Thanks, the part I pointed out was corrected on the website quite a while ago so it’s all good. It was just a typo.
