Anyone knows....


1. ds said tmr (mon) no lesson?? So do the year 1 boys stay till 3.30 tmr as stated in the time table?

2. on tuesday, they have CCA profiling and stuff....followed by investiture in the evening. I suppose they can't come home first after CCA profiling - there's no time. So do they take their dinner in school? Are the canteens open till evening?

TIA.....

anyone knows??

DS in last few classes. teacher said only speciallly allocated if doing mep/aep/mt. etc. Ds has above 265 - class has a range.

Is your DS from mainstream? Yes, mainstream boys with high t-scores above 265 are put into GEP classes (1J-1T), while those with t-scores 265 & below are in 1C-1H.

just hope the teachers do not neglect the mainstreamers :roll:

VSK, I would think school ends at 330 on Monday. DS' ft did mention that no need to bring books but there r plenty of admin to go thru. But she did not say class will end early.

As for 10 jan (Tues), is your DS attending any third lang? If so, perhaps he can buy some bread from J8 on e way back to school? Otherwise I suggest u get your DS to ask e canteen vendors what time they r opened until so u'll know whether to bring him food when u come for the investiture?

I was just wondering if I should cook lunch for him tmr. If that's the case, then I'll ask him to have lunch in sch .
My ds is not taking 3rd lang. I'll ask him to check if the vendors are open tmr...otherwise will let him bring some food to sch on tuesday, like u said.

Once again...thanks!

How often do RI boys and RGS girls interact?

Hahaha, s-puddles you can't wait is it :rotflmao:

Some CCAs in RGS train at RI. RI guys rarely come to RGS though, since we are always short of space and equipments><

which are these CCAs? Will RI boys train together with RGS girls in such CCAs?

how does mainstream classes allocated? t-score higher to lower from 1c to 1i, or lower to higher from 1c to 1i?

RI life is actually not stressful for the boys...........but it seems to be extremely stressful for the mummies !! :evil: :evil:

I mean, eg kitcat, it doesn't matter how the sch stream the students into whatever classes. Even IF it is based on Tscore or GE or whatever, it's all in the PAST. :slapshead:
Every boy starts off at the same footing again, and every boy is there on their own merits and is capable of keeping up with the syllabus and expectations. :celebrate:

what's important is for the boys to fit in, enjoy themselves and have a good time working towards their future.

if I remember correctly, the P said before there is no need for the boys to have any external tuition or enrichment supplements for their sch related subjects. So, relax....lest the parents' kanchiongness rub onto the boys.
