:lol: we super kiasu lah, arrive super early, park nicely, walked around, talked to the students and observed how they carry themselves, listened to talks, (DS took notes), and the P recognised us and said \"wah u come again, kiasu\" ... :rotflmao:

The open house are really eye-openers :shock: . I must admit I was really surprised by the marketing effort of the schools. Having said that, must go beyond the surface of first impression to get to the crux of school life in that school.
Of all, DS enjoyed the RI open house the most. There are so many fun things there - the showcase of many science experiments at the science hub (eg. growing crystals, light....); the showcase at geography hub (eg. tornado and earthquake); the games stores from the uniform groups; etc. etc. That itself is like an educational tour. Of course, that does not mean it is the choice school, but must admit they did a pretty good marketing job. -

It's just those types of high tea styles of food. But not too bad esp if you'd rushed there without much of a breakfast, or didn't have time for lunch. haha![/quote]ummm, I wanted to mean fruitful trip for knowledge and understanding of the schools.....not ummmm..... for the 'stomach'
:whut: Buffet spread during open house, I am surprise...went to NUSH last year and didnt notice, maybe too engrossed with checking.Mum1113:

I brought my p4 & p6 to HCI with the 9month-old baby myself. Then we ate the buffet lunch. haha. Not so great, but better than nothing. Didn't attend talks. My p6 wasn't interested. We watched the performances and went around the cCA displays.
I remember NUSH's buffet spread was nicer somewhat. haha.
Must plan properly this time to make a fruitful trip this year. Many helpful tips here, thanks ! :lovesite:
Anyway thanks for the reminder in making sure stomach also full with 'knowledge\".....esp when it's free food ....oopss signs of kiasuism :love: -

This Year Gym Championship Very Tough ....
Hi funx3,
Your DD is truly impressive!! Where does she find time to practice gym & dance, as well as her studies? Guess she must have very good time management skills. Definitely not an easy task. :lol:
With gym, your DD can even consider RGS during the DSA exercise. A friend's DD DSAed with gym last year and was accepted. She was approached by a RGS 'talent scout' during the National Championships and subsequently, RGS invited her parents & her (plus other identified achievers) for tea with the P.
Good luck to your DD with her upcoming Gym championships. :celebrate:
She Up Against, if I'm Not Mistaken at Least 3 National Team Gymnasts who's the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Winners in the last 2 years. But We Compete in the Spirit of Sports .... Already Told My Gal, Win Medal or Not, Mummy is Already Proud of Her .... Just Try to Score As Near to them As possible ....
And Thanks Very Much for your Well Wishes .... Esp the LUCK Part, Think we Need Loads of It ....
Heard RGS is Very stringent in their Sports-DSA .... They Want Good PSLE Results As Well ....
Heard Last year DSA-Sport Gals Accepted is in the 262 to 265 Region!
So Whether DSA or Not, with their Results alone is Good Enough to Enter RGS Already .... :roll: :roll:
How About Your Friend's Gal, Is She a High Achiever Academically, Apart from Being an Excellent Gymnast? -

Wow U Very Efficient. Been Thru this B4?Start from MGS, drive down to Bukit Timah road NYGH, then along the road to SCGS, and finally go down Stevens Road to final stop RGS. Very efficient and cover all in 1 day :lol:
Max of 1- 1.5 hours per school, and then zip to next school. Pack picnic lunch and drinks
Guess The Schools have \"pakat\" together to Either ....
Deliberately Making it Difficult to cover ALL Schools ....
OR
Making It Convenient for the PArents?
Since Only Need To take One Day Off for Those who Work on Sat ....
Or .... Get It Over And Done With In One Day?

Parking will be a problem. So be prepared to have one parent drop off the other parent with the kid, and the driver parent go drink kopi somewhere. :lol:[/quote]U So Funny!
Wah, sounds like the open house itself is a stressful process, man! Already hyperventilating thinking about the logistics (driving, timing, packing lunch etc), scheduling (if want to attend talks by Principal etc), parking and many other things to juggle on a Saturday.TREX8:
[quote=\"jtoh\"]
You have to plan your visits because Open House may not be full day. The schools usually have talks by the Principal and various depts/topics, plus tours, plus booths, performances etc. If you're keen on the talks, then you have to be at the various schools at the times the talks are scheduled.

Guess My DH being the White Kopi Lover, He'll be Drinking Coffee Somewhere!
