2. Do all kids allowed to Participate in SMO,SChO, SPhO,SBO,NOI etc or only who in Euler/Galileo/Maths Club are allowed. :?
Also

According to my DS, everybody is free to participate in SMO and SPhO. Only yr 3s and above can participate in SChO. Not sure of the other competitions.

In fact a couple of RI boys who are in the top 50 of this year's SMO 2012 Jr are in neither Euler nor Math Club.

What about marking days? Is it advisable to go overseas for a short trip during this period? Are the students required to go back school for CCA?
