Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)

[sunj1252]

I and my son registered as Singapore citizen recently. Will my son be able to get those scholarships such as EESIS that only Singaporean can be awarded? Should I inform the school? Thanks in advance.

As long as your son is top 3% of cohort, EESIS is given based on merits

Yes.. Both the RI shorts and long pants have \"Raffles\" on the back pockets.. The socks have too..

CHS, SJI, ACS and many other schools have too..

But must be very near the boys then can see..

There is this RPA, Raffles Parents Alumni (I am not sure abt the full name) which all parents are part of. They do organize occasional events such as the recent Family Day. You can get involved and speak to other parents

Hi,

RPA members are also invited to events organised by the Old Rafflesians' Association (ORA).
There is a PSLE Maths Talk this Sat, 27 Apr.
RPA members who still have children in primary school can look into this.

Please see the ORA website:

Ya lah, that is why I said from far cannot differentiate who are which schools. There are so many whites. Only behavior, language and presentation of the students.

Very very near then can see everything clearly.

Do the students still have lessons as usual per their timetable on those mid year common test days ?

Anyone has experience in changing EZLink card? Can the new card be used to scan & enter by Marymount gate or need to inform the school about the change? TIA.

Hi. Just checked this thread .... Mid year exams have started so I think you are already aware that the kids don't have lessons, unless extra lessons are arranged by the teacher for the class. They don't need to attend school if they don't have an exam that day and on marking days.

Good luck to all DS for the mid year exams!

My eyes fail de. But actually since RI is the oldest sch in Singapore, all the other schools probably base their uniform on RI, true or not?

Lol, it's white; a rather common uniform set mate.

And yes, it's somehow possible to identify the school even when one is miles away. Somehow. Good skill to pick up anyway.
