Dear All,


I wonder how offen your kids have to stay up till midnight to finish their homework? Do the teachers give them homework even on CCA day? Is this a normal practice that the history and geography teacher give out homework even before guilding or teaching them?

I was indeed impressed by the speech given by the principal during the sec1 parent’s meeting… "leave your kids with RV and we’ll train them… don’t waste your money on tuition, give your money to us, the teacher will organise remedial class for those who are weak on the subject… "
All these seem like another empty rhetoric.

Since I’m driving my dd to school every morning from Pasir Ris, I would like to offer my extra seats to 3 students staying in Pasir Ris… It’s FREE!!!

We usually set off at 6.20am and will reach the school around 7.10am. I can pick up the students at White Sand Shopping Center.
Students of all level are welcome to PM me…
Pass this message around as I don’t want to waste the petrol to Jurong just for the 2 of us…

Please help to provide informations on the school bus.... :roll:
My daughter will be joining RV S1 next year, but we r staying in Pasir Ris!! Wonder if there's any school bus travel from Pasir Ris to RV in the morning? or I'll have to sacrifice my morning sleep to drive her to school everyday next year..... siong ah!!!
Will any senior RVs give me advice on how's the traffic along PIE and time required if by MRT to Jurong during the morning rush.
My family just returned from Beijing and RV is her first school in S'pore.
Thank you!!!

hi exrv1982

it may well be 6 years driving your dd to rv, not just next year.
you may want to consider putting her up in the hostel mon-fri. not sure if there r many rv students staying in/around pasir ris. if only a few, the transport company may not run a service for pasir ris-rv. you may want to call up the transport company and ask if there is demand for this route for 2010/2011. good luck

I am sure it is too far and too taxing for the child unless there is a direct bus service to and fro. Please do not torture her with the travelling. I like the idea of staying in the hostel. Alternatively, they can rent their present HDB flat out and rent another one for themselves in the west.[/quote]Thanks to all the advices given and Merry Christmas to all of you.

We indeed have no choice but RV is the only IP school in her selection and it was my 母校... We have made an appeal to DHS but it's a difficult decision to make... May I ask what is the diffference between Class A to Class B, Class C... to Class L? Do they make any difference in their teaching mathods? Is class A suppose to be the \"elite team\" of the level? What make them so special?.... CCA or Academic?
If the student don't do well in the class that he or she is posted, will they reshuffle them in next grade or after the mid year exam?
