River Valley High School [*IP]

[peiyao]

sall:

The camp is from Fri - Sunday,7/1 -9/1.

Hi sall,

Any idea whether can the student wear home t-shirt during the camp. I only brought two sets of PE shirt, may not be enough.

Btw, will you be following the dd to school on the first day.?

sall:

Yes, no lessons at all for the lst week. Just bring pencil case and note-bk to jot down any stuff if necessary. What about CCA trial? Do students need to bring racket or sport-shoes too? Wonder how they conduct the trial, do they play with seniors and the coach judge or what? :?

So the students only go for the trial and audition of those that they are keen or they go and try every cca? :?

if sports trial, wear pe attire n sports shoes. students will go thru all sports n performing arts trials. heard the students will be ranked for each cca. best to tell your dd to try her best in all trials cos every cca has a quota.

I will be bringing Ds to school by taking train fr Toa Payoh. Can someone advise what is the shortest route from boon lay station to rvhs? Pls give the directions as I am quite lousy in finding my way. Tks

Hi Peiyao, I also bought 2 PE T-shirt, I think they can wear home t-shirt to sleep but not sure abt day activities. I think can wear pri sch t-shirt as it was stated somewhere that Y1 can wear pri sch T-shirt for 2 wks if not rv t-shirt not available.


Hi octopusmum, from Boonlay station, walk thru the main entrance of Jurong pt, turn right, walk all the way until u see bossini shop, then turn left, walk all the way to the end,(fast food restaurant on your left) and out the exit of Jurong pt, cross the road, and u can see rv. There should be a lot of rv students walkin that way, so can just follow them.
u can also walk to bus interchange, take 198 or 274 , 2 bus-stop only.

[sall]

And , yes pei yao, I'll go with dd to sch on 1st day, just to check how crowded the train is in the morning.

Hi sall, Tks v much for the detailed description. I would assume the mall is opened early in the morning as we need to cut thru jurong point to get to school ? Tks

Octopusmum, I used to stay in Toa Payoh and work in Boon Lay for many years, also took MRT from Toa Payoh station to Boon Lay station, the train journey alone is 45 mins. hey, no big deal once get used to it. All in I think you need to cater fr 1 hr + including walking. Timing is fix since there is no traffic jam involved. From Boon Lay station you can actually walk to RV.

I guess you can find road \"jurong west central 3\" just along jurong point and walk along the road out and you will reach rv.

Hi zann, weihan


Thks for the infor.

Hi zann

Did u take the train to raffles place, then take west bound train to boon lay or you take the train to woodlands ie north direction ? There is a direct bus 157 from my place but it is almost fr one interchange to another so I guess mrt is still better . Tks
