      Also, the blurriness from the visualizer sounds like a serious problem, how come the school does not do something about it?
      If there is any problem with the facilities, you have to inform the department(sorry the name of the dept has slipped my mind oh dear)and they should look into the problem.

      There was once, in sec 1, when both air-cons in my classroom broke down. Can you imagine the horror? It was burning. Luckily it was solved quite fast.

          Are the renovations for the toilets completed? hopefully, the girls won’t find it a nightmare anymore.

          A reputable sch with toilets not being maintained at all. Where are the cleaners?

            This issue has been brought up before many, many times in school. RGS employs 5 cleaners I think - if my memory serves me well. Somewhere around that number. There is a cleaning schedule put in the toilets. Each toilet is cleaned daily. Personally I think that the fault lies with us - the collective us - because the state of the toilet sometimes should not be such, with or without cleaners. I won't elaborate, because it is pretty awkward, and disgusting. And this problem won't be solved with renovations, because no matter how high-tech or beautiful it is, we can still dirty it pretty easily.

              It's the Estate dept I think 😄

                Yes, the cleaners can't beat the users' habit. But sometimes, the condition of the toilet also matter. If not well maintained, like the flushing system, the user cannot help leaving the mess behind. She can at least report to the Estate dept.

                I think with RGS moving to the new camps in 5 years time, they won't put much money into improving the school facilities, our girls will have to bear with the inconveniences.

                Next year, they are getting a new principal. Heard she is from HQ and formally Anderson's principal.

                  Dunman High principal boasted that their school’s toilets are very clean with 3000 staff and students using everyday.


                  Visited the school toilet for some concert, indeed it is very reasonable standard.

                  Dunman High has year 6 students plus many many staffs. RGS only up to year 4. Could be financial reason. Some cannot even flush thoroughly. The floor is still mozart. User is one thing, the condition is another factor.

                    Hi girls,


                    Do you know if the Sapura supplied MacBook pro is a 13 or 15 inch screen?

                    Thanks

                      Personally i think it's not really the facilities, but the people...Sure, DH has way more people, but they are a mixed school. When 4000 girls use toilets everyday, you know how messy and smelly it can get... Also, RGS really isn't that big compared to DHS, so maybe they can have more toilets.

                      And i'm pretty sure we don't have financial difficulties. Look at how big RI is and all the air-cons in every room. The new campus is coming too so maybe we are saving the best upgrades for later on.
