This year they went to 2 camps - KOREF and Mawai eco camp. Somehow the boys just loved Mawai and wanted to go back!!! I find these outdoor activities very good for the boys. They rough it out and at the same time have to work and play as a team.


On another note Victorian, how is life like in the upper level in VS? Tough going?

Wow, 2 camps now? You're right, these activities (on hindsight) are good. When you're at camp, you really want to go home, but when you're home, you miss all the experiences. VS aims for everyone to attend at least one camp a year, so glad that your DS is relishing that!

Regarding life in the upper level, a little less fun than in sec 1/2 I thought, but still a good 2 years. What subject combi is he taking? The workload is quite dependent on the subject combi.

*sigh* yes, sec 1/2 seems quite fun and cope-able. He's taking triple science and history elect. Have no idea what's in store for him next year except that there'll not be too many 'relax' days i guess....

Congrats, that's the joint-best class. I took a similar combi, but with geog elect. Well, in that case, it's not too 'relax' as you correctly mentioned. Then again, when you're taking the O levels, they tell you that it's going to be the toughest exam. Then you go on to A levels, and they also tell you that it's the toughest exam. When you get to uni, you realise that you're actually sitting for THE toughest exam ever, and the O/A levels were nothing. That's the way it goes.

Hi Victorian,


Do you know how are the students selected to be student leader/prefects? Must they have prior experience in primary schools to beconsidered for that?

Will there be a clash of timing for 3rd language and CCA? I would want my boy to go back to scouting again but I am afraid that there may clashes with the schedule.

Any parents whose child taking 3rd lang Arabic? Looking for kids to share cab.

Tks.
