Hi I would like to ask, do any of you happen to know how the sport trials for Shooting will be held?

See how close you can shoot to the center(or if you can even shoot it out). All about aiming and concentration!

I understand that there are only 10 vacancies in shooting each year. However, if my info is correct, only 7 vacancies left now as 3 have been taken up by DSA girls.

Orientation week basically starts when you go to school, and lasts for a week. There's an overnight stay camp on the last 2 days. It features performances put up by the year 1s on the last day(likely a Saturday)and parents can go and see it!


Orientation week is like this week to teach the new Sec 1s our famous Raffles Cheers, introduction to Houses, School song, class bonding and nice stuff like that:) Oh those are the days!~

You will be given a programme booklet that includes a school map(trust me you need it :evil: )and the facilities, plus timetables for each day.

The reason for not being allowed to wear the blouse+pinafore is that you are not considered as an RGS girl fully until the Badge Initiation Ceremony (likely to be on a Friday).

The BIC is nice. You will finally be given the RGS school badge and you get to light up nice candles and sing and it's basically very cool! There will also be games, be it inter-house games or class ones. It's for you to bond with your class! Preparing for the play/performance is cool too.

This might sound frightening to a shy person(i was one) especially the camp but really as you go further into the year you will wish you can have another camp with your class

CCA orientation also falls on this week. Likely the 1st day.

At least this was what we did this year.

choco05, thanks for sharing your experience.
DD's super excited about Orientation week after reading your post....She loves overnight camps.

I think 2012's yr 1 girls and Mummies are very chatty. This thread has perhaps never been as active as now! :rotflmao:

Totally agree with you, MummySTay. The RGS thread was rather quiet in the last few months and suddenly, it's moving so fast.

But it's great to have chatty gals & mummies..... :lovesite:

Student council...you mean like prefectorial board? Yes we do, we have 4 lead boards--Prefects, Peer support board, Student Congress and House Committee. Sadly you don't choose to join it, but rather, they choose you. Like selected pupils/interviews.

Regarding leadership positions:
Self-nominated or nomination by classmates/teachers?

Prefects are chosen by teachers. PSLs too, but in year 2 they open up selection trials. In year 1 congress and house open up the trials for selection.[/quote]Just curious, are past leadership roles in primary schs taken into consideration in the selection process for Prefects, PSB etc

What's the role of Student Congress? Tks
