Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) [*IP]

[MummySTay]

MotherHen:

DD will be joining RGS next year. We are both really looking forward to this new stage in her life.


Mummy here, however, is also a bit apprehensive about the (perceived) workload . Read somewhere that Year 1's will be learning Sec 3 curriculum? Just wondering if tuition is common in RGS, or if the girls try to cope on their own. I would much rather my girl not rely on tuition.

:welcome: to the Raffles family, MotherHen and DD.

Workload is manageable...dun need tuition.
Can save the $$$ and go for longer holidays.

yup, no tuition needed. My dd is in year 4. Struggled a bit initially but managing well now. RGS girls are resilient. They will succeed!!

Generally, time mgt… don't waste time in Facebook, DD sleeps around 10pm to 10.30pm…. UNLEss….. project work with team….

Thank you. This forum is a wonderful place to be in - coz I'm being surrounded by kind and wonderful people who are willing to share and reassure. Once again, thank you.

Thank you all RGS mummies for your warm welcome and reassuring words :grphug:


DD wants to continue with her piano and ballet classes, plus keen to take up 3rd language. I shudder to think of wat life wld be like if, on top of longer school hours, she has to go for tuition.

Will tell her to go learn, make friends and have fun. MotherHen here will simply \"jaga\" and make sure she manages her time well

No problem continuing with ballet and piano classes. Many RGS girls take music, dance, racket games and water sports lessons. Like I mentioned before, RGS girls don't just study study study. They play hard too.

I've always felt that end of primary school = end of tuition, by secondary school should be independent and study on their own. Then got regaled with all sorts of \"horror stories\" and well-meaning advice to chope tuition place. I'm like urghh.... Now, will shut my ears so will hear no evil

As for the other issue, well, MotherHen will happily grill any rooster that come disturb disturb little chick now :evil:

That's why i forbid my DD to have a FB account now, although she whines that many of her friends already have one.

Honestly tho, I think it's inevitable that she'll eventually have FB, most likely after PSLE....
