Quite a few years ago, I have an opportunity to experience travelling from the west to Pasir Ris everyday for a month. I need to take bus, then switch to MRT, then switch back to bus again to reach the destination. The journey was 1hr 45 minutes-a total of 3.5 hours everyday. I am sure it is an extremely tiring experience, not to mention students who need to preapare for tests and exams. However, by taxi at around midnight, I could reach CCK from Pasir Ris in 20-25 minutes.

Haha i dont really want to brag about it but i do have quite a good voice. Im really exited to go to RV! wonder how they teach chinese there.... :?

If you are hardworking and patience enough, go thru all pages of this thread, we discussed before about chinese in RV.

If you are good in singing, being a boy, quite high chance to get into choir. Thats just my opinion

The form teacher told me that year 1 and 2 students are not streamed, so all the students are put at random in the classes. No difference between 1A or any other class.

During my child's time, A,B,C classes are top classes In terms of eg top 100 (just giving a random figure) mix into 3 classes. Those who appeal in were also mix into all classes. You stayed with the same class for 2 years. Looking at the exemption programe %, A and B claases have more students exempted compare to others.

Not so bad right? Just one expressway connecting, no need to change.

u mean from pasir ris to DHS ?? yup, can via ECP, easy route.
as for us, smooth traffic via ECP.

one added advantage is that DHS school starts at 8.00 a.m instead of the usual 7.30 a.m
and one of the day of the week, it starts at 9.00 a.m ...... :love:
(just a bit of info for those who is unaware of DHS sch timing).[/quote]

Actually i like the timing of DHS 8am and 9am. I remember a parent raised up this timing before during the orientation when yr 1 parents met Miss Eek (the previous P), if RV can consider start later when move to Boon Lay. P commented its a bit difficult because Jurong is a big estate, we have to considee the start work timing of the workers, NTU students. RV timing cannot add further burden to the traffic and public transport.

Yup - you wouldn't consider putting your child in the hostel? I would. Altho' my SIL stays nearby and if my ds wants to go there, he could also go there, but have to trouble her. Might just be easier to put in hostel. But we'll cross the bridge if it does happen.

HI all


need to know how much does the RV school uniform cost for boys? and do we need to tailor made, or can buy on the spot from the shops (i think in tiong bahru )? dh who studied in RV 20 years ago said he needed to tailor make his uniform and they are costly because of the material…

thks

Hi Daisyt, the students are exempted from what? :?[/quote]Either full or partial exemption from taking end of year exam. There are some criteria to meet on your first 3 terms results.
