Hi all,


I have been staying at RV area for the past 1 year while my son who finished P2 has been commuting from our place to Pei Hwa Primary. It takes an hour to get to school and another hour back home. Worse next year as he starts morning session.

We recently applied was accepted by RVPS to start in P3.
Just wondering if we should make a switch from Pei Hwa since he has lots of friends and is gaining a nice momentum academically.

How are your experiences in RVPS - with teachers, school culture, children, etc?

Any advice will be very much appreciated as we need to make a decision v soon! Thx

I'm also trying to transfer my son to RVPS and have been told the waitlist is long. You may want to check it out with them first.

Hi, all


Happy New Year !

Anyone know how many RVPS P3 students has been selected to GEP in 2013.

Dear fellow parents, happy new year 2014 to you. Looks like there are more questions than replies on this forum! My little experience and encounters with RV have been positive. The teachers and office staff were warm, friendly and genuine.


I think Pei Hwa is definitely comparable. Sounds like a good option to switch over as your child will be less tired and very importantly, parents will have more time.

I think you probably need not worry too much about the kids missing their friends etc because kids adjust and make friends more readily than we think. I attended three primary schools and growing up, had always believed that these moves made me highly adaptable to new environments.

You are lucky i was trying to transfer my son to RVPS too due to moving house but was told no vacancy. He is in P4 in 2014 too. now still at old school. :S

Dear parents, may i check when do i apply for PV with River Valley Primary school, my DS is born on 2010. Also, we are actually staying between 1-2km, will it be deciding factor for PV?


PS: I emailed the school on the first week of January, but till date, got no reply from the school.

Hi watermum, I've emailed the school too and the admin lady has called to say that I have to keep a lookout on the school website. They will release the PV info in May.

Just out of curiosity, why is RVPS becoming so popular? Sorry I'm pretty clueless. My elder daughter was born in 2010, was thinking of trying for SCGS but we are somewhat reluctant to move to Whitley area. That is, if they even accept me as a PV. I really hope that I can send my daughters to a girls' school.

We are within 1km from both RVPS and Alexandra Primary, I'm trying to find out more about these schools. Will be happy to hear about other parents opinions.
