At CHS, orientation is whole day until 5.30pm. Sports Trials plus outdoor Uniformed group and adventure activities. Quite long day. Lots of marching, and push-ups. All the boys all very tired...then at night still cannot sleep HAHA. But I haven't heard of boys falling sick? THey only complain v tired and whole body ache.

Phankao,
Your DS need not go for CCA trials, right?
What does he do when the rest have their trials?

Of course have to, lah. It's all part of the Orientation Programme. Everyone has to participate. So chest ache, leg ache, arm ache, palm blisters - many pushups to do plus others, all in the hot sun. He said he would never join any of those sports/Uniform Groups. HAHA![/quote] :rotflmao:
Doesn't sound like orientation; more like military training.
But good training...your DS should have no problem during NS then.

Does the Mummy's heart ache to see all his blisters and aches?

Oh dear. Seems like a few of the ACSI boys are falling sick, maybe due to the long hours of the orientation camp over past few days.

Some parents also reported that their DSs are tired at the end of the day.

Surprisingly DS1 does not seem tired at all for past few days.
If fact he and DS2 are making so much noise every night I'm worried the neighbours may complain.
Maybe it's becos he was forced to sleep early for past few days compared to his sleeping time during the holidays.

Maybe because he has been playing with his bro and hence active throughout holidays. Wonder how my DS is going to take the camp and sport trials next week :nailbite: He has been mostly lazying around. VS camp also sounded quite hectic and physically challenging. Better ask DS to jog or run a bit during this weekend.

Since young DS1 has been a night owl, never sleep before 10.30pm.
Anyway going to meet the rest of the ACSI parents during the parenting workshop and high tea tomorrow.

Any idea what sort of parenting workshop?

During the parents briefing ACSI parents are told that their kids had been profiled during the Orientation camp period and will be recommended the sports that they may excel in.

Just came back from RI parent teacher meeting, also mentioned same thing about kids being profile and will recommend on the CCA that they should join.

So now the kids can't even decide on what they like to join anymore ?
