Its coming to the end of year 1 for my DS at RV. Last year i was still worrying if IP will be too stressful for him...however i realised RV did not stress the sec 1 so much & setting them a comfortable pace to adapt to new school and subjects. Being in IP..i realise i less stress on another major exam o level and worry limited seats in jc to fight for.
During haze i wrote in to express concern on outdoor activities they also act on it fast and finding out my needs by talking to my boy. The P is also very encouraging when talkin to the students. My only concern is heavy school bag maybe is my son only where he told me most lockers are faulty..and another setback is cannot get in his favourite cca...other than tht i think we have no regrets in getting in rv😄

My daughter utilise the locker as well as the desk storage to keep her bag light

Thank you, @VeryKiasu. Your encouraging comments came at the correct time. We also just decided to accept and submit the DSA preference form.

Hi all,


For those parents whose kids are in RVH, if my child wants to drop Higher Chinese, is this an option accepted in the IP track?

No, all students who enter RV have to sit for Higher Chinese O'levels when they reach Sec 4.

Anyone knows when will the O levels Chinese result be out?

Hi all, it has been a long time since i last post here. My eldest DS is the graduating batch of 2019 (left 2 more physics papers). Thru out his 6 yrs in RV, i shd say im very happy and grateful that he had pick the right sch. Yes, he picked this sch himself as I was not very into ip track but preferred the more traditional, \"safer\" O level track. But after gg thru 6 yrs wif him, we r all very glad n happy and looking forward to the next phase in his life, NS in jan 2020! DS din really do well for the past 5.5 yrs. He managed to scape thru jus barely hit the min promotion criteria🙏🏻. He din pass his higher chi in yr 4. Sat for chi H1 last yr and managed to get an A wif a distinction in oral. He din really put in effort in his chi. But thru the encouragement n guidance of his chi tr, he managed to do well in his H1 chi... He also din do well in jc1. His rank point was only 39 in march 2019. But this manage to improve in may, and again, in his sch prelim, thru constant remedia lessons and him chasing his tr for more practise papers. He only start his real \"serious\" studies since Jun2019. Luckily, wif the help of the trs, he is constantly improving🙏🏻 we r all looking forward to recd his A levels results next yr🙏🏻 my piglet will be collecting his psle results next thurs. He intends to follow his gor gor footsteps and apply for RV, if he qualifies🙏🏻


My point is : dun give up! my son was always in the borline, the sch didnt downgrade him to O levels track nor give up on him. For this, RV has done a gd job. It is indeed a good sch if u dun give up!
