[quote=\"naggo-nitemare\"]Is raffles voices, the choir, less time consuming? Is the drop out rate low ie do most members stick with it over 4 years?
so your DS got selected for it ?
based on discussion with the teacher in charge, the time taken for competition preparation is not less compared to others. RV is after all a core cca -

My son spent 4 yrs in RI and he never had any problem with his uniforms getting mixed-up. There was only one incident of him leaving his hp and wallet in his pants when he went for pe and they were stolen and were never found.[/quote]The teachers and level head in school have reminded the boys many times (during morning assembly, etc) to take ownership of their own belongings but some never listen. The boys are supposed to leave their belongings with the PE rep and finally locked in good hands. But some choose to leave their latest Iphone, cash and wallets in their shorts/pants, sometimes in an empty classroom, and return much later to realise that everything had vanished. Even if the teachers perform a bag search (especially if multiple items were missing from many boys in a class on the same day), they were NEVER found. The culprit may or may not be another boy in school [if found guilty, it is a very serious offence]. Do bear in mind that there are cleaners, ad hoc workers and contract workers loitering in the school campus too. The most viable solution to this problem is for every individual boy to take care of their valuables and not to leave such items unattended. Ask the boy in school, they have been reminded umpteen times.
So, it's really a common occurance? Perhaps, it's a gender thingy? sigh...Fairy:

My DW has been complaining about this for the last 2 years. My son will either bring back other boys' t-shirts, shirts, ties, extra text books, worksheets, calculators, etc. A check with other parents and it since to be very normal. The boys will be able to sort out themselves after sometime but there are cases where they cannot get back their own stuff. My DW has the same thoughts as yours and she get the same feedback as yours from my DS. My DS told me that their schedule is quite pack and have to ensure they have to be fast to maximise their time to learn more. sigh...
I can accept it if it happens to primary school kids, but to Sec3s!! :shock: :?
Ok,ok..I'll try not to sweat the '$MALL $tuff'. Maybe, men are created not to be petty about such things.
We have also reminded the boys many times 1) not to change in the classroom and 2) to tuck in their shirts (inside/outside school). Well, these are just some of the MANY common offences.

Hi fellow-Year 1 parents,
So this is what they all meant, when they said that Secondary school is ‘different’ from Primary school !!!
Ya, we are overwhelmed by this experience.
Firstly, so many subjects…teaching methods are new!
My DS has grown up a lot in this 1 month… Responsible. Independent. Decision making ++
Feels good :-)javascript:emoticon(‘:celebrate:’)
Not thinking about the upcoming tests, whats gonna be his CCA, javascript:emoticon(‘:?’) -

I hope the \"man\" is a gracious one.
Had a unpleasant encounter with one RI boy on the public bus recently. -
