Hihi


I am made to understand that the Booklist will be given tomorrow. But what I understand that many of the books (eg textbooks) listed in the booklist are not even touched by the teachers who prefer to use their own notes. So my question is:
1) Will the Principal in his speech tomorrow tell us what to buy and what not to?
2) Or if not - how do we know as we only intend to buy those books essentially needed?
Thanks

The books are for reference, even not used in class, the students can read at home.
If you read this forum, you will know that mother tongue and literature books are used in class.

History and geo textbooks my boy used them in class too.

To the new RI Y1 parents next year, welcome aboard. However busy your work is, don’t miss the JRIC - personally it’s one of the defining moments of my boy’s educational journey. The Y1/Y3 boys did the United Cheer with so much gusto and pride (in a good way, of course).


For those of us who have a niggling doubt whether the school suits our boys, my advice is just stay calm and allow our boys time to feel the school’s culture for themselves. Mine (who has been using his friends’ notes to prepare for exams for the last 2 years) finds the environment collaborative and enjoys his time there.

Hi parents, would like some advice on foreign language, are there any added value to take a FL? And is the workload too heavy for the kids? Thank you

It’s only for kids who really love the language and culture. Y3 they have chance for overseas immersion trip, Y5 also. After graduation, they may get the scholarship to study in the third language country.

For RI boys, third language is always on Tuesday afternoon. German is at Bishan moelc, most boys walk there. At the orientation camp, seniors will show them around.

Was looking at the packing list for the orientation camp. The boys do not have to pack a set of uniform for the camp?
