I think River Valley High would be the better choice as their $79m campus is brand new (moving in next year) and rv has always been a good school.

annonyParents:

I agree, these camps' motivation last for only a short while.

But it also depends on the child's maturity level and the kind of friends he/she is mixing now.
For example,
My friend had sent her daughter(Once an \"ahlian\") for Adam Khoo's PSLE congress(Not as costly, held every year at republic Poly I think.) and her girl found interest in Maths.(Trainer had taught them some useful Maths tips during the talk) so she enrolled her child for the Maths tuition at the Learning Centre. After the talk, her girl seems motivated.
After enrolling her girl to the centre, her girl started to study and her grades for PSLE Maths raise from C to B. Although some motivation was lost after the PSLE, but she continued to let her child stays in the centre as she found that her child started communicating with English. My friend asked her girl why and she says because the friends in the centre communicates mostly in english and as time goes by, she started to use English.
As time goes by, the girl started mixing around more often with the centre's friends and hence, when she was in sec1, she got into a new school and found herself better friends(Not ahlians one).
The main point is, you may try sending your child to the learning centre , at the same time his/her grades can improve and he/her is able to mix with better friends.


Lastly, some may say the camps are just another pay for extra Laughter and to cry camp.
But I think laughter and crying is an important part of those camps.
If there's no laughter, children would be bored off hence, not gaining anything. If there's laughter, children would be awake and he/she would remember that joke for quite a long time . At the same time, remembering the messages.
Crying is a big factor of those camps, if not why your child feels motivated.
Crying would make one remember for a longer time on what had made him/her cry and so, made an impact on her.

Thats all I have to say, so do try consider sending your child there. No harm trying, you can try those previews one or those less costly one.

i agree! there was lots of crying at the camp and the trainers told interesting stories that somehow inspire and motivate you to do better.

My school (primary) organised a adam khoo motivational camp for us P6s a few months ago but i don't think it had much use... Maybe it's only me but the techniques they taught (looking for keywords, crossing out options) are common sense.


The only unique thing about the camp is that at the end, there is something very special prepared (maybe it's only for schools, i'm not sure). I don't want to spoil the surprise for parents out there who have sent their children to those camps so i won't say it :celebrate:

oh sorry, i left out a word. i meant WITHOUT airconditioning

ps: it is actually very easy to do a search; hope i get the campus right.

thanks! i wonder why is it that nygh seems to be one of the only schools without air-conditioning -.-\"

I've never been to Raffles Girls' Secondary but i'm considering it for my secondary school. Does anyone know how is it inside or know of any blogs that contain photos of rgs or have photos of the inside of rgs themselves?


If you do, can you please post (the link/information/photos) here or email them to me at elyon_love@hotmail.com?

Thank you!!!!!! :?:

HCJC HAS air conditioned class rooms, I've been to one during a maths competition. I agree on the basment part, but its WAY better than RV.

how are the RV classrooms like?

yup, makes sense. for some reason, i always think that those in single gender schools will fare better. but rv has new campus? (probably with air-conditioning and if the weather is hot, i guess it helps the student to concentrate better) i know that's a really bad reason but still.. haha

//Moderator's note: Topics merged.


I got 266 (+2 for HCL) but i still am having a hard time trying to choose between Nanyang Girls' High or River Valley. I hope that seeing the campus in person would help me very much in deciding so does anyone know if they allow visitors?

Please tell if do know!! Thanks in advance :celebrate:

Really need advice... It's a place where a child studies for 4 years! Any reply at all is greatly appreciated
