Absolutely, both RI and SST having on the same day. If parents want kids to go RI take a look, but maybe kids wanna go SST tour around, then timing wise have to plan in advance.

Is SST Open House also on 21 may?

Yes Tisha...that is what parents were told when SST made introductions talks to P6 parents at ds school. Your kid interested in SST ?

You guys are a very bad influence on me. You've gone and put TEMPTING ideas in my head and my Little Boy is already so stressed... Oh dear.

verykiasu2010... what did you think of RI vs HCI?

Hi Chenonceau, I didn't visit RI and HCI. vk2010 visited the two schools - MANY MANY TIMES. :lol: :lol: :lol:

How old's Little Boy?

Primary 5... and after reading this thread, I'm shaping up to be verykiasu2012!![/quote]haha! You should take Little Boy to visit the schools. It'll give him (and you) if those are schools you want to consider.

I brought my p4 & p6 to HCI with the 9month-old baby myself. Then we ate the buffet lunch. haha. Not so great, but better than nothing. Didn't attend talks. My p6 wasn't interested. We watched the performances and went around the cCA displays.

I remember NUSH's buffet spread was nicer somewhat. haha.

:whut: Buffet spread during open house, I am surprise...went to NUSH last year and didnt notice, maybe too engrossed with checking.
Must plan properly this time to make a fruitful trip this year. Many helpful tips here, thanks ! :lovesite:

It's just those types of high tea styles of food. But not too bad esp if you'd rushed there without much of a breakfast, or didn't have time for lunch. haha!

verykiasu2010... what did you think of RI vs HCI?[/quote]Go Go Go Chenonceau. Then next year you can be the senior KSP to provide advice to the others

The open house are really eye-openers :shock: . I must admit I was really surprised by the marketing effort of the schools. Having said that, must go beyond the surface of first impression to get to the crux of school life in that school.

Of all, DS enjoyed the RI open house the most. There are so many fun things there - the showcase of many science experiments at the science hub (eg. growing crystals, light....); the showcase at geography hub (eg. tornado and earthquake); the games stores from the uniform groups; etc. etc. That itself is like an educational tour. Of course, that does not mean it is the choice school, but must admit they did a pretty good marketing job.
