Thank you very much for the info .
I think I have done my best to persuade him. Think the choice is still his since he is the one attending the school , he must like the school .
Really hope he will ultimately choose VS ! -

No prob. You can go down to the respective schools to have a feel of it. (I'm sure your son will be more impressed with VS' seven-storey building. Maybe he'll like VS then :lol:) I hope he chooses VS too but either way, all the best for his selection.Thank you very much for the info .

Hi Victorian, a question please, if I may. I saw in the website that Sec3 boys in VS have to take Physics, Chem and Biology. Is there a choice for any combination of 2 science subjects? I saw that they have it in some other schools. My son tends to incline towards the sciences, still, I am not too sure if he can handle all 3..... :?

Yes, there is a choice for a combination of 2 science subjects. There are only two main triple science classes, and a handful of triple science students split among the other classes. However, if I'm not wrong, 2 science subjects only include Physics and Chemistry. Biology is a 'triple science-only' subject. His sec 1/2 results must first be good to be eligible for triple science, then you'll have options. :lol: -
Thank you Victorian! How's the orientation camp like at Lim Chu Kang? :?

Hi prancingpony,
I wouldn't want to reveal too much otherwise it'll spoil the fun and suspense for your son. :lol: Basically, it is a three-day-two-night stay-in camp. The boys will be sleeping in sleeping bags under a constructed shelter. (Used to be 10 boys in a small tent, but it has improved. :oops: ) The first day is usually the administrative stuff and some ice-breaking/team-building games. The second day is usually PT and confidence courses, e.g. rock climbing. There is probably also some skit preparation and the campfire at the end. The third day is mainly cleaning up and preparing to go home. There will be lots and lots of school cheers over the three days that they'll probably stick with him for a long time after the camp. :lol: The camp is led mainly by the PE dept and the secondary 3/4 student leaders (red shirts/black shirts). This is a general overview of the camp. If you really really want more spoilers, then let me know again. :lol: -
Hi prancingpony,
My son attended the school camp last year. He totally enjoyed it!
We actually viewed the on-going activities of the camp from http://edge2009.blogspot.com/.
After one year, I am very happy and proud that VS has transformed him to a mature, confident and cheerful boy!
Lots of encouragement from teachers and peers. He's most willing to wake up early and hopes to go to school every day! -

Victorian, thank you, thank you! Getting all these info helps this kiasu mum! My son is not the outdoor sort - except for the occasional cycling and soccer - and I worry how he will fit in. He can't run, can't climb and can't swim!! :oops: Hopefully he will not come back with low self-esteem.

Hi happymum8,
THANK YOU so much for the website! I couldn't seem to find anything else except info on the campsite only. This blog gives me a visual insight into the on-goings in camp. I am more relaxed and I feel I have chosen a school with a right environment to suit my child's needs. Hopefully, like your son, he too will grow to be a confident boy! All the best!
