can u advise for Science, will they be doing Chemistry or Biology first?
Hello! ^^Havana:
Hi mummies and DDs,
Is it advisable to buy everything that is listed on the RGS booklist for Sec one next year?
Are there items or books that they might not use at all ?
Appreciate all opinions.
Thank you
You can not buy art materials if your daughter already has them at home. The only subject your daughter should use them in class should be D and T and if she does not have sufficient paint or similar, she could purchase them at the bookshop as the teachers would give advance notification on what to bring.
The A5 exercise books could be used to take notes. Some teachers might request for that book to be used while other teachers would be fine with any type of paper you take notes with or even with your computer. ^^ Hence, it depends on what type of medium your daughter would like to take notes with.
For RGS foolscap, some teachers would also like for that to be used while others would not mind the type of foolscap you use (generally, this is if it does not have another school's crest on it). One pad of foolscap could be used in 1 month if your daughter takes lots of notes on them and if she uses them to do her math worksheets. However, she can also purchase them at the bookshop if she runs out of it.
Math and Science textbooks are more of reference materials rather than used in class. So while they could still be bought but the amount of usage depends on your daughter. The Math books have questions in them if she would like more practice while the Science textbooks can be used for consolidation of the subject.
Hope this helps! ^^

Hi, Can anyone advise whether it is possible to audition for track & field as a cca? Or is the team only open to dsa students or students who have represented school before? My girl is a good runner but she has never participated in her pri school track & field team before. I am wondering whether there is chance for her to join track & field at RGS. If she is able to, does anyone know the training schedule for Track & field? Many thanks

Proudmum,
Different classes start on diff modules of science.
Yes, anyone can go for the trials for track. You don’t need to have represented the school previously. -

Hello ^^ I think track is on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays or on two of the above. Sports CCAs should be about 9hours a week. Hope it helps! ^^

Alamak,
Even natural born atheletes have to train la. Don’t train how to win competitions? -
Hello! ^^
Sports CCAs have about 7-9hours, Performing arts have about 6-9hours, Clubs and Societies, Uniformed Groups have about 4-5hours. However, there’s always out of school events or competitions which may require your daughter to commit more of her time to. I hope this helps. ^^
