Hi, I am new here and would like to get some advice from the parents who have the experience transferred their children to RL. I just submitted application form for my gal to transfer to RL next year P4. (Is it a bit late?) Currently she is a top student in another school. I would like to know when we can be informed about the outcome for the transfer. Do we need to call the general office to check? Will a top student have a higher chance to be accepted by RL or we need to live nearby (<2km)? Thank you for advice.

IMO, while the factors above may help (ie. top student, live nearby), there may be more reasons than those mentioned. Since it's just a guess on my part, I won't comment further.

I know some who are placed on waitlist of 1-2 years before being offered a place (eg DS classmate was offered mid-P5 but eventually din accept). I was one of the lucky ones as I had too applied after her P3 results were out. My dd was informed ~1-2 weeks b4 start of P4. I did call up to ask, probably it helped a little. You can try. But in most cases, think no news = no vacancies.

If can tt by P4, personally I think it's still ok. Dd was half-hearted initially, unwilling to leave her previous Sch & friends, but yet welcomed the RL challenge. Fortunately for dd, she was posted to the top 3 classes & so her engine was kept running, in fact much harder than previously. But there were some tough times - new environment, loneliness as she's an introvert, sudden increase in workload & standard etc, she cried a number of times in her first year at RL. As time went on, she overcome the challenges & is doing well in RL. She has just finished her PSLE this year. However, I do need to warn you......being a newbie, there was quite a bit of 'proving' required in the first year before she started getting opportunities eg. leadership, competition etc. So do be prepared.

I understand its not easy to tt to RL, so all the best to you.

Thank you, becontented. It is very useful information. So we will mentally prepare for any possibility. ps. I am sure that your daughter can pass PSLE with a good result, as she can quickly adapt to a new environment and perform very well.

Hi, I am staying in Taman Jurong and selling a lot of P5 & P6 used assessment books under the garage sale. They are in very good condition.

seems like Rulang thread is not a active thread? My son going to pri 1 and I am quite lost, wonder if there is any forum like some other schools that parents can post to the school? Received call from the school bus operator and she told me that the pick up point will be at the bus stop. Quite disappointed as it is a distant, crossing the park and canal with no shelter and how can school bus be at the public bus stop? if the school bus is early, how can they wait there and if my son is late for a couple of mins due to unforseen circumstances, then the school bus cannot wait at all? Tried nego with school bus lady but she refused, any parents has the same situation?

happy74, you are ‘lucky’ to receive a call! Till now i haven’t received any call but merely an sms from one driver who informed that another driver will be picking/sending my dd due to some logstistic changes!


I am also disappointed with the school that during orientation children were not informed of what to bring for their first day! I had to call the school to ask!

Many years ago when my dd studied in Rulang, I dont remember bringing many books on day 1. It would be \"orientation day\". Each p1 kid would have a buddy (kid from upper pri) assigned.
