Any news on ipad?

From a reliable source, parents will pay a certain % but mostly subsidized by the sch. Amt is not finalised yet. The sch is still negotiating with Singtel, should be ready by Jan 2012.

All Y1 and Y2 are required to go the Kallang stadium to support the softball team on Tuesday.


The number of DSA applicants is 400, double that of last yr. Must be due to the good 'A' level results.

Will RV increase the quota for DSA applicants if there are more qualified this year?

School motto, vision, why you choose to DSA in RV, what you like about RV, introduce yourself, strength and weakness, views about your primary school ...

Seems like can only take 50% of applicants, according to MOE regulations.

I heard somewhere that RV only takes up to 60 for DSA each year. Probably that was because in the past, there were only 100-200 applicants. Taking up to near 200 if they are well qualified will place RV on par with schools like RI which usually admit half of its cohort through DSA.
