ha ha..that's what my son suggested! :lol: He said I should sew the button on the button hole to make it seem as though it's buttoned. (just to comply with the original design) Then sew a hook on the underside and use that instead. :D[/quote]Hi Fairy,FireflyMom:
[quote=\"mummyjoyce\"]My daughter is telling me that it is difficult to button from the back & troublesome going to the toilet too - so I understand what you mean. I have cut the button hole alittle bigger and she is fine with it after that.
It's behind. I intend to replace the button with a hook. Easier for her to hook than to button from behind.
I think it's not necessary. If I'm not wrong, the girls wear their PE T-shirts untucked so no one can see the button anyway. -

A fabulous new year to one and all ! :celebrate:
I was just browsing through RI's thread and read with great amusement, about the interesting assortment of teachers there. :lol:
Can any RGS girl or parent share their honest views about RGS teachers too ? Especially the Sec 1 teachers. Do they 'specialise' in teaching Sec 1 subjects only or is there a habit of following them up to Sec 2 ?
:thankyou: in advance for sharing ! -
Hi,
My daughter is currently schooling @ RGS. She is keen to pursue HMT or Chinese at ‘A’ level. However, we understand that this is not available at RIJC but at HCJC.
Appreciate any advice on this pls. Thanks. -

Hi Fairy,
My daughter will be in sec2 next year. The lit book for 2009 sec1 is 'sense of belonging' and 'power of peotry'.
There are 13 classes in her level, the PSLE high scorer and GEP students will be grouped in the last 4 classes. The school does not groupt all the sports DSA students in one class, but the students from the same sport are allocated in the same class. For example, tennis DSAs will be one class, and table-tennis DSAs will be in another class.
They have three PE lessons in 2 weeks.
I would say the teachers are good. -

Hi wmd,
May i know why do you expect your daughter to be in a GEP class? I understand she was from (primary) mainstream? I know of students in class 13 from mainstream with PSLE T-score lower than 270 and other mainstream students with T-score of 280 & above posted to class 9 & below.
Any idea how the class allocation was done? I'm very sure it is not based on T-score as some of my daughters' friends with lower T-scores are posted to one of the last 4 classes. -

I was waiting for my DD in the foyer after school and had the chance to browse through the class lists. Each year, there can be 4 or 5 GEP/top mainstreamers classes, depending on the cohort. Got this information from the school admin.
From my humble observations, the last 5 classes (109-113) this year consist of the GEP, top PSLE mainstreamers and some academic DSA pupils. 113 also holds all GEPers taking MEP. Not sure how many.
By and large, the allocation appears fairly random and not strictly arranged according to T-scores. However, I did notice that 3 of the top 13 PSLE pupils (in the nation) are in 113, another 2 or 3 ( I believe it's 3) in 112 and 1 in 109. Just for interest sake, out of the top 13 pupils in Singapore, 8 are girls, out of which 7 are in RGS. Last one is in NYGH.
Cheers ! :celebrate:
