Hi Jtoh,


My DD in class 113, she has tried Gymnastics (Trampoline) yesterday, something new to her. May I check with you is Gymnastics (Trampoline) will held at Bradell campus?

May I check with you your DD in which year? Is the Y1 very stressful for the girls?

DD told me the form teacher only teaches them Chinese lang. Is most of RGS teacher very caring?

I have no idea where Gym Trampolin will be held. Maybe some of the other parents here can help out.

Based on the experience of my friends' daughters and my dd, I would say that RGS Y1 isn't stressful. In fact, the girls proclaimed Y1 to be a honeymoon year. My dd did 3rd lang, was very active in her CCA, took part in various competitons and enjoyed herself tremendously. On top of that she continued with a lot of activities outside of school. So no, it wasn't stressful at all. That's my personal experience.

Maybe some other parents may have different experiences.

HI Hotspurs68,


My girl did not have any prior trg at all, I think most of her batchmate do not have prior trg too. In fact my girl's cca in primary school was dance!

After the selection trials in RGS, she was selected for both dance and judo. She insisted on Judo!!!Anyway, I'm glad that I let her make her own choice coz she's very happy to be in Judo, the team mates are very bonded.

Hi Flametree,

My DD was in track and field and in her primary school, they stopped all CCA in P6 in order for them to concentrate on PSLE. Hence, we are really concerned for her especially in this aspect of her secondary schooling. I will definitely encourage her to take up Judo.

Regards :celebrate:
