I think RGS allows colored shoes. I have a few friends there.

u hv to be specific! don't mislead other parents …specific = MUST be 80% white.

How is traffic there in the morning? I intend to drive via Scotts Rd and then Draycott Park. Any entrance at Draycott or must only drop off at Anderson
road main gate.

TIA

In CTE towards City, exit Cairnhill Circle and make a u turn. Alight at the bus stop, don't turn right to Anderson Road.

Thanks Everyone for your help. So I take it that it must be 80% white. No more boring plain white shoes. Hurray!

From Draycott Drive, keep left, turn left, drop your DD at the bus stop at the main road (Steven Rd) right before Anderson Road junction, avoid turning left into Anderson Road unless you need to drive into the school, there is always a jam there in the morning.
Draycott Road too will experience slower traffic in the morning....

Pls note that traffic at both ways of Balmoral Rd is bad in the morning cos 2 schools are at both ends of the road, ACSB and RGS. If drive via Balmoral road you have to either drop her on the opposite side of the school (means she has to cross the Steven road junction) or drive into the jam in Anderson road.

Can anyone advise if I should buy all textbooks listed in book list or leave out certain subject textbooks first? From this thread, I gather some textbooks are never used.

Hi all,


My DD will be joining RGS in Sec 1 next yr. I would appreciate your guidance and opinions on what the girls there will wear? Specifically shoes… I believe it’s 80% white and some girls there tell me most girls wear Converse type? Is that fashionable these days?

Also, for school bags… Do they still use backpack type? Hello kitty type still in fashion or are they too kiddy?

I want DD to fit in but also need guidance on how much individuality she can play with 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, i'm not sure about converse types, they are popular, but i don't really see people wearing them. We usually wear those sports shoe looking ones

Definitely backpacks are still in use, mostly those jansport looking ones! You know, the type that has no place for waterbottle at the side?

I'm sure she can figure out how much individuality she'll be able to play with, within the rules...
