What is school life like in RVHS? ( Part 2- Reader's Respond Question )

Group's Respond

[A] During recess, the noise level is often high as students from all levels stream out of their classrooms, chatting animatedly. Most of the students have smiles on their faces as the recess is a period many look forward to, as it is a break from the mundane routine of sitting down behind their desks, listening to the teacher. Students typically rush down as the time allocated for recess is usually a mere half an hour and the queues at the canteen stalls are often long. Thus, students will usually want to be the first as the queues would then not be as long.

[B] My friends seems very happy. He is smiling from ear to ear and he is very open. He does not seem to be very unsure and in confident.

[C] The notices of short listed Year 1 students in various CCA. It is very special and important too. Just a few pieces of paper with names written on can depress or surprise all the Year 1s. Some of them might have short listed into the CCA they desired and some might not have. Through this experience, many will learn how to get over the depression and stand up again. Even if they did not get into the CCA they did not wanted, they will gradually like their CCA a lot as they get to know their CCA. With the notices, they can bring crowds, emotions and learn something valuable. So, the notices on the short listed Year 1 students in various CCA are very special.

[D] The loud speakers blasting loud music on Fridays impress me the most. This is because I have never seen schools where they just blast out music in the canteen for everyone to enjoy. Because of the student council's initiative, we are able to feel the T.G.I.F spirit and enjoy ourselves during recess and lunch. It helps to relieve the stress we have during school and remind ourselves that the next day will be Saturday. Hence, the loud speakers blasting music on Fridays are very impressive and special to RVians.


[E] In our opinion, school life in River Valley is rather stressful and busy. Everyday, we have to deal with stresses from CCA and school work. We have to cope with so much stress everyday, so much so that we needed music in the canteen to serve as a platform to relieve our stress. I feel that this is what every RVian will go through as this school focuses on providing holistic education for us, so we have to take care of every thing that we go through. However, in our opinion, RVians will make it a point to stay happy, even over small things like eating in the classroom. We feel for every happiness and privilege we have, and I feel that this has been part of our school life to share them out(whether it is on confessions page or through word of mouth). We do have a difficult life, but we try to enjoy the process of everything. We feel that this is our school life.
