I would like to find out whether it is true that it is very very difficult to get into RV by badminton as there are a lot of foreign talent in this CCA ?

heard from my child that majority of the c girls team that came in 2nd in west zone are year 1's and locals too. they presented the medals during morning assembly. think the foreign talents could be the older ones?

C girls are sec1 and 2. Correct? I don't think the local schools take in foreign talents as early as sec1 and 2. Most of them will only join after at least sec 3. Correct me if I am wrong. So RV has won the c girls 2nd in west zone for the first time? Are the players DSAed into rv one?

Seems like there are some changes this year. IDP only last for a month instead of whole year.

Letter to parents only mentioned the criteria for full and partial exemption. Nothing mentioned on the minimum B4 for HMT and English.
What does that means ? The minimum B4 criteria is no longer there ? Anyone know ? :?

yup. c division are sec1 & 2. don't think it is the first time, just that RV has not been in west zone top 4 for many years.
not sure how many DSAed. Sall did mention there are 2 girls who DSAed. she should be right since her ds went for a few training sessions with them in dec.

I thought it was usually in May. It was in Nov last year because of AYLC. Anyway, I discover that some schools like HCI, RI etc has two open house, one in May and another in Nov after psle.

The office said open house should be ‘end of year’.

I don’t think open house affects intake. Anyone decides the school based on experience at open house?
