[quote=\"rylee\"]Hi,


Congrats. U can find the registration info from VS website. Think need to bring primary report book and the s1 registration form to show HCL eligibility.

Regards.

rylee, Thank u for the info. I've seen that. But they juz mention \"Other documents\". So I guess, except PSLE marksheet and S1 form, no need for any other docs.

Can the children go in casual wear or in School uniform?

TIA

Have to go in primary school uniform.[/quote]
Great. Thanks again.

Gd nite.

Thank you all for the well wishes!


I would also like to find out what time does school start, the type of shoes that the boys can wear to school and if there is any handphone restriction.

Thanks.

Hi Publica, the general rule for shoes is white-based, low-cut track shoes. Hope this helps.

Yes, must be 75% white. Handphones must be switch off at all times whilst in school premise to avoid confistication.:) Boys have to be in school by 7.25 am but lessons start at 8 am. I felt when my ds was in sec 1 the first few weeks, the school was very strict so as to drive the point home they mean business! But they relaxed a bit after that, so worry not! The handbook will have all the school rules and info, so that will be good for parents to read too.

I don't think there's any need to worry, really. VS will take care of all their students, regardless. Congrats to your son and all the best! Who knows he may well be under my ds's care when they go to camp! hehehe!

Haha, your DS is one of the student leaders? That's good to hear. =)[/quote]

Haha! Yes he is Victorian. Were you one too? Time really does fly! It seems like not too long ago that i was watching the videos posted online by Mr Randell Siow when my ds was at his orientation camp being taken care of by his psl and teachers. Aye, sec 1 was easy and fun!

It's been one of my regrets in that I was supposed to go for the training camp in sec 2, but caught a bad virus and ended up missing my year-end exams and the camp with an MC. =( So I'm glad your DS got to experience it!

Pity that Mr Randell Siow has left the school; he made a lot of improvements to the camps over the years (more fun, and a lot less regimentation). I guess your DS is no longer apprehensive about outdoor activities anymore, having made it through so many camps already! (at least one camp per year so far?) Now you'll be able to watch videos of your DS as PSL - big role there!

Dear Victorian


Could you let us know how difficult it is to get into the Infocomm Club as a CCA. The sheet provided to us today said it was a popular CCA. Do you know what kind of selection criteria they use?

Thanks

Hi Alchemist, Infocomm Club has been one of the more popular CCAs, since it is one of the CCAs that cater to those who do not like outdoor activities. Different CCAs adopt different selection criteria; usually if trials are not required, then selection may be purely random. Some background (previous CCA in primary school) may help for certain CCAs, but if this is not asked for during the application for Infocomm Club, then it may well be an arbitrary selection. Hope this helps!
