Hi new babe reporting here. I have beenr reading at KS for some time and now can tahan no more so I decided to join.


My DS got into RI via DSA.

Haha welcome. Have you bought uniforms already?

Not yet. Think better don't buy so early. Holidays still not over. Put on weight and he won't fit into the new uniform.

Have you bought yours?

I m just tired of hearing him complaining of being bored. Only child so he wants me to play with him almost everyday. And I m going crazy with house packing (we just moved) n settling down aft my US trip. We will be out of Singapore again in dec .. So need to plan for e trip etc. but e him bugging me, I can't do much. Sigh!


Anyone has purchased RI uniforms?

Haha, you really crack me up! But I have to :udawoman: Be careful of secondary school years, I've seen too many RI boys burned out, even at Sec 1. Boys at that age can rebel and there's no way you can control him or manage him like in primary school. All the best in RI! You can get the uniforms now, but the badge is 'commissioned' after the orientation. I am not sure if they have changed the culture anyway.

Thanks for the advice ..Other than the white top m white shorts, what else do they need?

How about letting him read the literature text? It's not like he's studying bec he'll be reading a novel.

Thanks jtoh! But I do not know what lit text the scho is using now. Do u have any idea?

Found the school fees structure for RI and HCI for 2012:


RI: $300 + $35 for supplementary fee

HCI: $360

I am just very, very curious. Do the children who get high PSLE T-scores really just read textbook and school related materials only? How about newspapers, magazines, rubbish and other totally unrelated stuff? Did your children get to read all those stuff during P6? Cause I cannot imagine how this works for my kids. They are never bored. Perhaps they are bored because they have been doing so much PSLE prep that they feel there is a ‘gap’ in their lives?
