Don't throw away your son's Primary school PE attire. Orientation camp requires 4 PE attire which can be RI PE attire and primary school PE attire.

Thanks! Good tip.

Do they still have the scary night programmes for orientation camp?

Yes. Still have.

But not so scary. DS said the horror movie during CCA camp night is scarier.

I think it all depends on the committee that choose the movie.

Edit: I just clarified with DS. There was no Scary Night but there was Crime Night. Got movie but not scary movie. It was a detective movie. Sorry for the inaccuracies.

But 'Scary Nite' was back in 2014 Yr-1 Orientation, according to ngl2010.. :nailbite:

Hexagon.. Your DS2 doesn't want to join his gor-gor at ACSI ?

Is there any event at RI Year 5-6 today? We saw a lot of students at 7pm. Mega Mugging Madness was over so what is it?

DS2 is quite different from DS1, in terms of personality, interests etc. Hopefully, RI is the right fit for him. So far his experience in RI has been a warm and welcoming one. He was admitted via DSA sport and has started his first training with the seniors. So far so good......

My two boys are as different as chalk and cheese too..

Not to worry.. I'm sure your boy will have a great time at RI..

Thanks iFirefly! I do wish my DS can do well like your DS.

Yes I am planning to buy the uniform as earlier as possible, can you please let me know where to buy it? How many sets should I buy? How about the PE shirt?

Hi YY1205..

You may buy the school uniform at :

Bibi & Baba
545 Orchard Road
#02-28
Far East Shopping Centre
S(238882)

Tel : 6732 7022

Fyi.. The boys have to wear school uniform to school everyday. On days with PE (2x a week), the boys will change into PE attire before PE lessons, and change back to school uniform after PE lessons..

I bought 3 sets of school uniforms and 2 sets of PE t-shirts / shorts when DS was in Yr-1/2..

There are many types of t-shirts (RI, House, Yr-1 Orientation, CCA, Class etc) but they are not sold at Bibi & Baba. So, for now, you may just buy the school uniform first..

As all the classrooms are air-conditioned, your boy may want to bring along a sweater to school, if he is 怕冷 type. My boy enjoys the 'coldness' though..

The RI sweaters are very nice, but the boys can wear their CCA sweaters or own sweaters too..

Oops ! I think I'm saying too much. One step at a time..

Enjoy..

Hi Firefly, no it is definitely not too much! Thanks so much for your useful information, will try to find a time to go to the shop to buy the uniforms.

Also a big thanks to all other RI parents who give us all the valuable tips
