Hi all,


My girl is interested in putting RV as her second choice. May I know how is the culture in RV like? Do the students speak Mandarin all the time ?

Are the teachers encouraging? I heard there are topical tests every week…

There is an emphasis on nurturing an appreciation for Chinese culture in RV but it's not extreme such that students speak Mandarin all the time. Teachers are supportive and offer consultation/remedial when needed.

Thanks Serendipity!

May I know RV can wear sport shoes ?

Yes, predominantly white sports shoes. ( 70% white)

Hello! Typically, how many sets of formal uniform and PE attire should we get?


Thank you!

Thank you!

3 sets of PE attire and 1 to 2 sets of formal uniform should be fine. They typically wear the PE attire more often.

Hi all, my DD just got posted in RVHS for 2023

I don’t speak Chinese at all,
she moved to SG at P4 and her PSLE Chinese was AL3 (no HMT)
I wonder if we can survive here lol 😅
Do we need tutor/tuition in IP school?
What the hours like? Our house is 16km away now but plan to move closer later in 2024
Any tips and suggestion to share?
Really appreciate it 😇🙏

Congratulations! RV is a great school with great culture .. you’re in good hands. As first year is usually adapting and honeymoon year, do allow ur DD to explore freely and make new friends. If you like, add on tutoring later on, if required. For IP, it’s important for kids to learn to seek clarification and consult their Teachers with doubts and queries. All the best!!
