Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) [*IP]

Seems like students who entered via DSA must really committed to their promise. The 3 DSA squash girls in my dd class. Today they have to start practising squash already. The three girls told my dd that they didn't go for any interview at all during DSA. I will ask dd whether those are foreign breed or local breed.

Of course students who DSA through sports must commit to their promise, just as anyone who makes a promise in any circumstance must commit to it. It's not something to be entered into lightly and I'm sure these students and their parents would have given considerable thought to the commitment before accepting the CO.

Having said that, it's not just the DSA sports girls who are deep into training. Girls in the various school teams have been training all through the year end school holidays. Nationals will be in April or thereabouts and this is a crucial period to get training in.

Ha Ha ....
Diff from Your year, a child ....
101 this year has a Nice Chab-Ba-Rang Mix of ALL the Above ....
(of Course exclude GEP/MEP/SAP -la!)

So Far Counted 3 RG, 1 Tennis (All Known to My Gal), a Few DSA Academics (Agak-Agak-ration by my Gal .... HeeHee), Maybe a Couple of Swimmers (yet to Find Out ....) and Many S1 Posting ....

She Mention tt their Class is Rather Quiet .... (Or Shy?)
Poor T Has to Practically Drag Ans from Each And Everyone of them

And She Asks,\"Why Our Year 1 ClassRooms So Isolated? And the Lockers .... (Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep) \" :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

And When I Ask her What She have for Recess and Lunch, She Goes,
\"The Q is So Long .... That we Did not take anything, Just Drink water!\" :roll: :roll:
Errrrrrrrrrrrr .... Snrs .... Any Comment, Really tt Bad -meh?

And Ask what she spend her time On during these periods ....
\"We Spend Practically the Whole Time ....
Q-ing for Toilet! The Q is Soooooooooooooo Looooooooong ....\"
She's So Funny .... Yet Poor Thing .... :laugh: :laugh:

So Snrs .... Rule No 1 for Orientation Day ....
Armed the New Gals with Map showing Directions of ALL Toilet Locations within the Sch Premises!

There's only 2 toilets in J Block. So if she wants a shorter queue there are plenty of others in the school. Usually in other blocks as long as you find the location of one toilet, then there are likely to be toilets on the floors above too.

I agree sometimes the queue can be looooooong, but will get used to it after a while. Year 1 classrooms are indeed isolated but really it's a place full of memories, i'll rather it be isolated than next to the important staff rooms. But i agree from classroom you try to get to the sci labs or library is a looooong journey, and not enough shelter. Sheltered walkway like so narrow.

The front J Block toilets are usually pretty packed, including when you change after PE. :roll: :roll: My suggestion is to use the toilets at the back of J Block, or the toilets at the corner of E block/D block. E block toilet is directly opposite the end of the canteen that is nearer to J block, while D block is behind E block. I usually go to the D block toilet after PE

in 106, there 3 squash players DSA

in 113, there is a Ai Tong top girl but she is not MEP leh? She is my dd enrichment classmates.

All RGPS girls never mix around one. All gang together.

Girl Guides say 30 girls will be chosen out of 150 applicants.

Not everyone in 113 is in MEP, but most of them are.

RGPS girls do mix after a while when you get to know them(half of my class are from RGPS).

GG about...20-25 people were selected last year, not sure if it's still the same this year.

Of course 113/213 isn't all MEP-ians/SAP-ians, (I'm revealing my class - 213) we have 7-8 MEP-ians and no SAP-ians in our class. Most kids aren't in either programs

[quote=\"bananamonster\"]Hello KSPians!


I just wanted to say that Orientation Day One has been wonderful, nobody got hurt as far as I know, and 112 is a lovely class If any of you are reading this, banana is very proud of you! Thank you parents, I hope you enjoyed CCAO!

Just finished dinner and shower after coming back from CCAO. So tiring~ but we hope all year 1s and parents enjoyed it and found it useful:)

The CCAO was informative and DD really enjoyed herself 'shopping' for CCAs. The seniors did a great job promoting their respective CCAs. Thanks![/quote]Haha did your dds get the CCA stickers stuck on them by enthusiastic seniors in the typical Rafflesian fashion? :evil:

hi DD went \"shopping\" for CCA yesterday and was keen on clubs like Science and Environ Club. She told me that it is a core CCA (she asked the seniors and said thet the principal said that some clubs are core CCA).


can RGS seniors like Choco05 etc confirm this ?

thank you !

I'm not sure about Science and Environ, but I'm taking Math Soc as a core

Depends on the Inter sch Competition Schedule ....
Some Sports Starts their round of competition from Jan onwards ....
So the Early start to Practice is essential, esp if the Gals R field to rep the sch this year. And Also for those who compete in Team, they need to train and coordinate with fellow team mates ....

The schedules for training for Most sch, if not Mistaken, starts in Dec last year for the Snrs ....

I think the reason why DSA sports girls need to start training so early is because of the inter-school season which is typically early in the year during the 2nd term. They start taking part in the sports competitions since Year 1, while the newcomers to the CCA will have a year to train and build skills before starting to compete in Year 2.

DD has a classmate who successfully appealed to RGS and now in 101 too. Also, DD has another classmate who DSA thru Maths is posted to 108.
FYI in case mommies are curious whether is there a pattern on how girls are posted

Yes, Looks Like there is a sort of Pattern.
Notice the Larger Numbered Classes R of Smaller Class size? About 32 ....
Those Could be from the Pri GEP Class

Others Lowered Numbered classes have far more students - about 36 to 37 per class.
I Noticed tt the gals for 2 of the sports dsa tt I know is posted to 2 diff classes, with gals of the same sports tog in each class.

yes i think the school based gifted classes are 111 (or 110?) to 113 and some the non-gifted PSLE high scorers are also allocated to these classes.[/quote]GEP classes are 109 to 113.

Hi all, fyi, this year RGS accepted many appeals. I have a friend who scored 257 and appealed successfully into RGS. Also, her school results are also so-so only.

Er, about the orientation... It was ok I guess... The student leaders and like all the seniors in general were pretty nice :D... The icebreakers were quite fun and our form teacher is quite nice too (but donno about the other teachers leh :P)... But yeah agree with some of the other ppl, the talks were very long and some of my classmate's legs did really become numb (but not me cos I was fidgeting all over the place haha). Like during the first talk (or speech, idk?), the one about Shakespeare and literature and compasses and parachutes and... Oh yeah, stewardship too, haha... ;D but yeah generally the orientation has been nice (so far anyway, donno about tomorrow cos there'll be lots of talks :P). But I have to say, the queues are super long... Even the sandwich vending machine had a queue of like 8+ people (year ones only!!!)... And the Japanese food stall also had a long queue... and yeah the toilets also had a long queue haha... So during recess I just use the toilet that's across the NE Norris hall at the other end cos during recess the canteen toilet is always super full (and the j block toilet is soo full too :P). Oh shoot I shouldn't have posted that. Now maybe more people might go to that toilet too and then I will STILL have to queue even there haha ...

Does anyone know if SBGE lasts through all 4 years?
