Wow, Venice!


Phankao, your DD is one lucky girl.
One question - how heavily subsidized is each trip?

I think it's quite standard in schools. They usually end up paying cash of about S$1++k after subsidy per trip. But for KL, it was cheaper, lah.

The KL trip, school half, parents half.

[MummySTay]

Do parents get to tag along if the parents say, volunteer their services?

Then, do the parents get subsidies too?

[JonC]

You pillow high high and dream long long maybe have lah.

You sure your kid wants you to tag along at all???!!! Certainly not, right?!

[JonC]

In fact the KL trip I test test DS, he was so excited that I want to go. When I say, it’s time you do things yourself, he kind of disappointed.

School choirs get to go to such exotic cities for choir competitions. The RGS Choir went to Prague this year and won two grand prizes.

Other groups like band and dance too, I'd think? So far, I've only seen Chinese orchestras go for immersion, not overseas competitions/festivals.

For dance, yes, if the school has a strong dance team. One girls school I know sends their girls to competitions and immersions in Spain, China, Australia...

Some sports CCAs also get to travel for competitions and training trips.
