After reading some of the posts here, I am pretty sad to say some parents simply don’t know what is going on in RV. Please, get involved in your kids’ life by at least attend talks or briefings organised by the school or read the newspapers and get your facts right. Eg, P did not ask those who are getting D7 and below to write letter in advance…fyi, the O level result was out yesterday at 2.00pm. All Y4 students are gathered together to listen to the P talk and then receive their results. The B4 criteria has been emphasized for as long as I know during briefings by the school. For the iPad thingy, other schools are doing it as well…Nanyang Girls is one of them. Some other schools have MacBook. Also, also get both sides of the stories. Some kids may be angels at home, but not so angelic in school. When things go wrong, don’t finger point at others but yourself…Who says parenting is easy? Take responsibility!!

E & A maths is under ONE maths only, ie only 1 maths and not 2. There is also a CID.

As we are selecting the schools together with our child, we should not just look at the reputation of the school. The culture of the school is equally important. The stress level of the school should be considered, ie if your child is someone who cannot work under great stress, then do think carefully about your choice. Ultimately, we want a happy child, especially when they will be going through their teenagers phase in the next few years.

RVPTA’s membership is $50 for the entire 6 years your child stay in RV. Both parents are members as long as one parent signs up. PTA activities are updated at RVHS website, so you can read all about it there. RVPTA AGM was held yesterday, and letter was handed out to students, meant for their parents, prior to the meeting for attendance. Teachers’ Day dinner is NOT organised by PTA, but by SAC. PTA supports this annual event. Upcoming talks on Parenting will be on SAt, 6 March. Ask your child for the form which will be handed out by their form teachers this coming week.

From what i know, even other IP school has 'O’Level class at sec3 after their sec 2 results are known, eg Hwa Chong.
