Thank you Lee Ann!


No choice but will have to wait till 23 dec to get booklist to buy books. Will Bibi n Baba sell RGS school uniform without any School Form? Cos uusally the school form indicate - pinafore, blouse, tie, badge, pe t-shirt etc? What is essential for first few weeks of school? Guess need to wear t-shirt and pe shorts and blouse and pinafore?

Hey, for orientation programme when sch starts next year, which is always about 10 days. what you're required to wear is your pe t-shirt, *culottes, and pe shorts. you'll need them ALMOST everyday.

*culottes - a skirt and shorts combined. You'll know what it is on reporting day i think. 2 should be able to survive you for the wk of orientation, buy more than that then i THINK you might regret, which i regretted for buying 3. but it is definitely very convenient.

that's because after your orientation, you'll be back to pinafore everyday. culottes are only allowed on tuesdays and non-school-days but not compulsory, unless your child loves it (like me haha xD)

you can buy uniform at bibi and baba without any school form, they just need to know the school you're from, which in this case is RGS.

and i dont think you'll need to rush to buy the uniforms? they'll be selling during reporting day and the following days after that. you wont need them UNTIL when sch reopens next year. that pretty much gives you plenty of time to get the uniform and the books done

booklist is erm, not absolute. what i recommend is that, buy the essential ones first, like atlas for geography, short prose thingy for literature, science textbooks.

TEXTBOOKS, especially for math and history, wait for the teacher to say that you MUST buy it, if not you'll end up wasting money.

things like paint brushes, paint etc, you need them for aesthetics-D&T and such, you wont have to buy them yet.

RGS notebooks and more- buy on own discretion, some subjects allow you to use any notebooks you want since you dont have to hand them in to teachers.

You'll know what i mean once you get the booklist, i forgot what i bought in sec 1, coz i ended up with too many extra stuff by the end of my sec1 year -.-U. by all means, buy what you think you'll need.

Have fun

Hi fatal illuxions,


Do u happen to know the CCA leadership points awarded to the lead boards?
Do Prefects, PSLs & Congress members receive the same points for the same number of years of service?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm not very sure 'cause im not in any of them.

What I'm sure of is the points increase by the number of years of service and also the position that you're in(whichever lead board you're in) I once glanced at the list of points for prefects, the head prefect gets 8 points for her service.

the number of points awarded should be about the same, unless you're in special positions like Head of the boards, esp the head prefect as mentioned above.

The number of points doesnt really matter for students in IP programmes, it only matters when you're in JC. But anyway, usually one should be able to get the top grade (A+) for LEAPS(cca points), due to the few commitments that you'll have by the end of sec4.

You can only be a prefect OR a PSL, in addition to congress and house committee if you get in to any. Also, other factors for LEAPS are The positions in CCA, competitions, positions in class committee, CIP hours..

Let me know if you want the exact points for the different Lead Boards, i should be able to get it from my friends.

By the way, does RGS have Home Economics lessons? Or Needlework lessons for Sec 1 students?
