RI usually has two sessions at the auditorium
parents/students can choose the talk first then tour, or the other way round -

luckily took a glimpse of it before they are gone....impressive and
really.
9 months of preparation - no wonder call VKS.....But again, he is well-prepared whilst I would be \"hugging buddha legs\" after SA1 to prepare for DSA application (that is if DS results permit!). I can only say I will make sure DS \"hug buddha legs\" with me. -

Kindly share what they did to hard-sell?vlim:
Both RI and HCI open house are on the same day ... Wonder is it ok not to attend the principals briefing as hard to arrange the timing ...
from experience, unless they have changed, HCI is done by a teacher i/c of corporate communication, lots of hard-sell. -

NOT denying they have scholars, and they ARE very GOOD in many areas.....just the \"hard sell\" part make people feel they are trying too hard to impress and compare and say \"look we are no less than .......\" make people feel that they feel insecure about their position amongst other IP schools. HCI is good and they can feel confident about themselves without sounding like \"broadcasting\" all the time....corporate comm need to revamp -

The DSA talk might be same as the one which they went round conducting the talk at your primary school. Last year, the same person actually conducted the talk at our school prior to the DSA date, therefore we skip the talk on the open house day. -
Thks apronmama … I was thinking maybe there will be more q&a …

I have attended and heard quite a few DSA school talks - I consider most of this \"marketing\" or \"buay ko yoke\" only.

Personally, I think the better part of any open house is interacting, talking and listening to the students in that school. You can assess how they carry themselves, how they talk, what they think, what they like or dislike, how they feel about the school workload, what opportunities they have had....these to me are much more important than the # of scholars, # of awards, # of distinctions, etc. Just my personal humble opinion.
