Thank you Mishasha

For Y1 girls joining RGS, please feel free to reach out to the senior girls who are the PSL (Peer Support Leaders). 4 PSL are assigned to each Y1 class. They will be taking care of the Y1 for 1 year (throughout 2020). As for textbooks, most of the time they do not need to bring to school as teachers will refer to their notes which are online found on iNet via their MacBook.

If I’ve ever thought girls from RGS are mainly a bunch of "mean girls", I was totally wrong. DD entered RGS this week at yr 2, and found the girls in her class absolutely wonderful and friendly and … just plain normal. I like it during the orientation to hear the principal emphasise "sisterhood" again and again during her speech. Maybe the claws and fangs will come out when they get transferred to RI for year 5 & 6 when suddenly everyone wants to be the alpha female, but these girls in RGS that she meet in school and the older girls that I met personally myself during orientation day are anything but snobbish. RGS is a great school.

Don't worry, the nice girls will stay nice! My daughter graduated from RI 2 yrs ago and has great friends from both her Y3-4 and Y5-6 classes.

Anyone with problems logging into iNet portal? I had problems logging into the parent’s portal but it was resolved before 30 Dec. Now my girl has problems logging into the student portal, and currently still waiting for itcare’s reply. Anyone with similar problem or only me? 🥺

Yes, I had the same trouble after Dec 30. I called IT care every single day, and they have been very patient and helpful. I'm willing to cut them some slack since they are probably trying to get the system up and running with the recent move to the next campus. The IT person is a foreign talent, I believe, and over the phone, I just couldn't understand his instructions on what to do. I asked him to email me his explanation, which to his credit, he did. So I was able to log in and perform the necessary functions. I'd say give IT care a call.

My DD is in Y2 this year and I can tell you that most of the girls in her class is pretty normal, not too different from any other 14 yr old kid in other schools.
Hope she enjoys herself as much as possible and make more friends along the way

Hi,

Have any parents attended the parents-educators workshops in previous years? Jointly organised by the school and the Parents for RGS Association. The workshops are abt student life and the curriculum - understanding the school’s approaches to the diff subjects, etc. Are they very informative? Asking as they’re being held during office hours and I’ll have to take leave to attend.
