It is not easy to join sports CCA in RI. You need to go thru the selection process. Look out for the trials and try out the games when they start to profile you.

I have one child going into RI next year 2010. Really appreciate the generous advice posted here.


My son is just playing relaxing playing relaxing until school term starts… after the long PSLE slog.

For other parents - it helps that young kids get a lot of camping experience toughing it out as scouts in primary school…with zillions of opportunity … to prepare for the inevitable…orientation stay-in-camp in school!

Vikaesh:

URGENT !

I need to make this decision soon.....

Which is better the MOE third language (Chinese)
OR

Raffles Institution's Chinese Special Programme (CSP)

Stick to the RI CSP. The teacher will guide you better to pass the exam. They set the exam paper and format is different. This is from my son's experience. He is taking MSP at RI. There are also a choice for you to sit for the MSP 'O' Level.

:welcome: DDDMummy to the Rafflesian family. Yes, I know I'm also new, but it feels good to do the welcoming for a change. And, since I didn't opt out of the RPA and even bought the RPA shirt, I'm technically a member of the RPA too, like kiasuson.

No worries abt relaxing n playing, mine is also relaxing even though he didnt slog for psle, but hey, 6 years of slogging ahead. So let them have their fun now. Its only a few more days

Btw, pls go to the newbie thread to intro yrself, so other members can give you a rousing welcome too! See ya around.
