[quote=\"firefly38\"]Hi vk2010, DH is planning a long trip to USA in Dec and we may return to S'pore just before Christmas. DS has gotten COs from RI & HCI but he will be accepting CO from RI. Understand that RI (and all sec schools) will hold their Registration Day one day after S1 posting, which will be some time 3rd week of Dec. May i ask if there is any serious consequence if DS can't make it home on time to attend the RI Registration Day? DS is very worried (me too) that RI may withdraw his CO and he might not go to his dream school in the end (thanks to his daddy). please advice what DS should do? thanks in advance!

Hi firefly. RI will not withdraw its CO. Don't worry. But it's best if your son could attend registration day as there'll be forms to fill up, briefings etc.

Actually the registration day though is administrative but is a memorable day for the boys getting to do all the stuff....the boys will have fun getting to see old faces etc etc[/quote] :thankyou: jtoh & vk2010 for your advice.. but seems quite unlikely that we can come back in time for Registration Day as hubby has already booked the air tickets via internet, sigh! DS is quite disappointed, me too! :sad:

Firefly,
I wrote to MOE and they have given me the following dates:
School posting - 21 Dec
Report to school - 22 Dec

These dates are actually a day earlier than last yr. They told me that we shd nominate a proxy if DS cannot personally report to the sec school. If you are not back by 22nd, just nominate a proxy.

Hope this helps

:thankyou: dnls_mum for the info.. wished we had sought out this info before booking for our holiday but hubby was quite gang-jiong and went ahead to book the air tickets (via internet) even before this info was made avaibable. seems quite unlikely that we can come back in time for the Registration Day, sigh! :sad:

btw, can we change the departure date (from USA) if we had booked the air tickets on-line? thanks!!!

IMHO, try not to miss registration. Don't think they will withdraw CO but why let him miss the first experience with future classmates and the first welcome from P. Besides principal's speech, there should be some activities organized for them. He will also get to know some new friends. when he reports on Day 1 he will be even more at ease. Have you gone bibi baba to buy uniform? Try to go earlier in case no sizes.

[verykiasu2010]

yes you change the return date of the etickets booked online


if you are not able to change it online (eg SQ website problems that persists since May 22, 2011), you can still call them to change for you

depends on your ticket conditions, some may impose date change charges

If your ticket class is based on \"sweet deal\", probably not. If it is \"flexi saver\" or \"flexi\", you can with minimal cost.

Good luck.

half day at most

buy your uniform before registration date, buy books earlier, then all set; senang on the actual date

or be kiasu kiabo like vlim, bought all uniform already!!

buy later oso can, after your holiday.....if no stock no worry, sure BibiBaba will get it out before school re-open one, except may be you wait till long neck lor....Popular Bookstore on campus will have all the books in standard pack already, just pay and grab
