Anyone knows how to apply for second car decal? I understand that the first is free although we need to pay $10 for the second one. Do I fill in the same online form but put the second car details? Or does DS need to physically go to SAC to buy another one? TIA.

I don't know about tomorrow, but your combination is not correct. Black polo tee + white uniform shorts

Why Straits Times want to have this article before the new year begin?

DS is in Year 6 this year. On the day the article was published, his friend put it in Instagram. Some friends commented. Most of the comments are \"The results are not uncommon in RI. It was only Year 5 results. Still have time to catch up. Why gave up?\" DS thinks that maybe because in Year 1-4 the boy had As (I guess it is about GPA 3.6?) for all his subjects so he was surprised when he got C, D and E for his overall Year 5 results.

In my opinion, I think the results can be improved. There is still time. The boy looks like can afford tuition since he was able to go to Australia to continue his studies. However, maybe it is hard to find tutor/tuition centre for Knowledge & Inquiry because even RI only has very few students taking that subject (maybe 1 class only? And there are about 50 classes in each cohort in RJC). The boy also took H2 Literature. I am not sure whether it is easy to find tuition on H2 Literature. Maybe the boy thought it is hard to improve in these 2 subjects? I am not sure. I can only guess.

Anyway, RI is a very compassionate school. Don't worry so much especially in Year 1-4. Those are the most enjoyable years

Agreed. I came to the realisation recently that the IP promotion criteria for RI/RGS are relatively lenient. In doing so, the schools try to get as many students to graduate from RI(JC) as possible, even though setting a higher promotion bar will ensure that its A level results will be even more stellar by transitioning out the weaker students.

So kudos to the schools.

Yes! I thought that the prefectorial board and PSLs did a great job in putting the programme together.
