      [quote=Serendipity post_id=1959849 time=1579436317 user_id=9658]Planning a year-end vacation and I'd like to know if there is usually holiday homework / projects for students over the Dec hols?

      Yes, there's homework for almost all the subjects if not all. Usually no projects. The sch may add more hw if your child does badly in the year-end examinations. Your child might need to return back to school for supplementary classes or CCA too.


      Thank you for the info!

      Guess we won't know the details of these holiday commitments till much later?[/quote]Yep. Details are usually given out the week before the holidays.

        My gal is in S1 now and i notice that the sci notes are very minimum and I dont thk its sufficient to
        prepare for exam. Is that the norm or will they gif out more notes later?

        If the system of teaching is still the same as what I remember (ie teaching only one science per term), then yes, the teachers give out new notes as they progress from topic to topic. About 2-3 topics per science, so 2-3 notes each. In general the notes are usually sufficient.

            Is there both O levels and IP track in RV? I’m also curious to know if the morning assembly is held in chinese or English?

              RV has no O level class. Very few kids are retained also, like 2-3 in my kid batch.

                Relying on science notes and worksheets alone probably enough to pass. You need to do practice papers to do well.

                    maybe get your child to check with librarian, whether River Valley High library inside stored past year exam papers, for IP students to zap ?

                    If have, good.

                    If don't have, maybe approach his or her seniors, to borrow and zap ?
