How long to take boys to settle down from this stage ? Already openly chat about it … What more will come from boys?

Hi Daisy and all very supportive parents of RVH,


My ds got into his 1st choice school - HCI, RV was his 2nd but we had a good time chatting with you guys and really hope HCI would have such parents like you to answer to queries when in need ...sos... :?:
All the best to RVH guys ! :celebrate: :thankyou:

I got into RVHS too, 255+2

Hi Lulubelle,

Is RVHS your 1st choice ?

octopusmum:

Congrats, carrot!

Nope, I didn't put hci as a first choice. Big mistake I know ! Will be going to hci to appeal tomorrow. Knowing that my son may be short of a few dec point is :stupid:

I have earlier checked w rv on the transport. Their pickup points r in jurong and woodlands not Toa Payoh:(

We visited HCI on PSLE result day and was suggested to fill up appeal form to free the tension - wise move :idea: , incase DS dont get in however important to place HCI as 1st choice and of course got to be close cop

Hi octopusmum,

My DS 257 got to his first choice school HCI . Maybe you can try to appeal if it was yr first choice school. Hv you filled up the appeal form? All the best to your boy :celebrate:

Does your DS 257 include HCL already?

Hi Zann,

Yes 255+2 HCI , from this I conclude HMT is an undoubtful soild 2 marks , I guess my DS happens to be on the high decimal end of 255...to meet :love:

Hi carrot, good that your child is strong in language. To take 3rd lang, RV students would go ghim moh language centre amd the lesson is 3hrs 15 mins. I think this is one of the killing point, 3hrs straight can be very tiring. And they teach very fast for 3rd lang. I encourage your child to try it out since he has the interest. Hang on as long as he can. My girl dropped off in the mid of year 2. Let your ds enjoys now, once in sec, esp IP, not much leisure time lor.


Hi sall, CCA selection, must be prepared your child won't get into his dream CCA. They select through auditions and tests. Even don't get select in the dream CCA, its still fine lor, learn something new and different, it always a good thing, right?

Hi Daisy

Thanks! will ask DS to hang on so long he enjoy we will support lor ...taxi home one this long day :lol: :celebrate:

hi carrot,

We can't really prepare them until we get the booklist. Then we can get the books and start preparing them for sec 1. Right now, just get them to read Chinese story books so that they can remember how to write the Chinese characters.

Hi Sall,

Thanks for replying... :idea: we have been borrowing chinese books and returning without much reading. shall make time and effort to read those chinese books we have borrowed along with him ...no choice lah he is a english potato :faint: :celebrate:

That's the reason why my hair is turning white at an alarming rate!!

Then year 3 another worry, choosing subjects combi. Equally stress!

I not so worried. Choose Year 3 subjects with A level combi in mind. I think no point to insist on going for 8.5 - 10 subjects at Year 3 when most take 4 H2 & 2 H1 at A level. If our child cant even do well for 8 subjects, why force them to take more and get lousy GPA in the end. I rather my child focus on 8 and do well. I also dont want to stress up my child. So many kids cant take stress these days and just jump! So scary!

Unless your child is super capable, president scholar type, then of course must go for more subjects and very active in CCA, leadership and CIP too.[/quote]Hi experts, my DS scored 255+2 trying out French as 3rd language. He is strong in English and that is his only strength...difficult to cope IP? How to prepare him since now is still holiday mood :? :? care to share :?: :?:
Very much appreciate experience parents/ IP students views ...
:?: :?: thank you so much in advance!
