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!![/quote]

Thank you for your warm welcome 🙏
My girl can be very quiet and shy, she’s from girl school, she’s a bit nervous now 😛

My DD has many primary school friends in RV, they are all warm and friendly and some are also quite quiet. Not to worry, I’m sure your DD will find her niche eventually. Meantime, be her most trusted supporter and listen to her daily tales of this new journey in sec sch.

Thank you for helping out with the questions!


The next phase seems so exciting! Any tips for the new S1 joining next year?

I think time management is important as the child progresses to secondary. CCA commitment is heavy and he has more subjects to handle. I am still trying to make DS to be more systematic as the school gives out notes. He does not have the habit of doing filing regularly, so that frustrates me a lot. But his classmates are nice, whenever someone needs help with misplaced notes, they will send pictures over in their own WA groups. He is also in this phase where he hates to be micro-managed. I am learning to slowly let go for his growth.

Hello everyone


Is there any parent/kids who can share DSA leadership experience with RVHS?

We would like to know more what we need to prepare interview, personal statement and so on.

Also want to know chance of getting DSA leadership according to previous experience if the kid is holding Head prefect/Vice Head prefect position with AL6/7 but not Singaporean.

Hi, could anyone share the DSA notification and trial dates for academics / performing arts of RVHS?

[smarfette]

Anyone applied for RVHS DSA Leadership??

And went for 2nd round of interview / tests after 1st round in early July 2023?

Hi, I saw some older students wearing sports shoes instead of plain white. Are there any rules or regulations about it? Thank you.

Hi all, i really need advice on this.


Q1: My child took higher chinese at P5 and finds it hard to cope. In the end, both his chinese and higher chinese grades suffer. Hence i got him to drop higher chinese. In this year’s PSLE, he has gotten AL7. He is stronger in English and gotten an AL1 in PSLE. Is it tough for him to cope with higher chinese in RV? He has gotten an AL2 for chinese in PSLE. Fyi, RV is extremely near to our residence.

Q2: He was in sports cca hockey in Primary school. It seems like RV don’t have that many sports cca…even floor ball and baseball are meant for girls only (found out during Open House). Is there any sports cca i.e. table tennis he might have a chance to enrol in? Have heard that RV will recruit primary school players in its 1st cut. He is not the club person…

Q3: How are the teachers in RV? Dedicated and helpful? Engaging?
