      You’re welcome, Gifted Gem 🙂


      Tomorrow Saturday morning at PTC :-
      Maybe can Ask P :
      how many girls for past few years managed to enter DSA, via academic route ?
      Mostly come from which classes ?
      which subject commonly used via DSA entry, out of (English, Maths, Science, Chinese) ? Why ?
      Ask P to share with P6 (Mainstream + GEP) girls past P6 DSA experience

      Because if students choose DSA via Sports :-
      they cannot change the school nor change that CCA, once they accept the DSA Secondary school offer.
      However, their interests may change, when they move onto Secondary school environment.
      (Different from primary school)
      They may be interested to try out some other CCA instead, which were absent in our RGPS.

          It seems the girls have more preference to go for RGS than others.
          This is so for DD's class. At least 18 out of 22 have eyed for RGS now.

                  RGS was still the preferred Sec Sch for our girls last year. Followed by NYGH.


                  The parents still prefer all girls Sec Sch but since most have affiliation, the girls there may already have their own friends from Pri Sch. Whereas RGS will have students from everywhere (maybe more from RGPS), so is easier for the girls to find news friends there since most of them are in new environment.

                    NYGH have many girls from ex NYPS.

                    They tend to form clique, since they knew one another from Primary 1 school days.

                    Due to affliation -
                    cut off point for outsiders to join NYGH is higher, than RGS (no affiliation from RGPS)
                    many of our girls tend to select RGS Secondary.

                    Indian & Malay pupils who take Tamil, Hindi or Malay language -
                    can’t join NYGH, since NYGH SAP school only offer Chinese, as Mother tongue.
                    But they can still go RGS Secondary.

                    Out of RGS Sec 1 cohort -
                    The primary school with the highest number of pupils enrolled there, come from our school.

                      Hi

                      Selected for interview for PV @ RGPS - can I know what are the questions asked? What needs to be prepared?
                      Also if I have a younger child that’s a boy, is it still wise to consider RGPS for my current girl? Since I have to think about PV again in 2 years time…just wondering if I shld just drop RGPS and instead consider a mixed-gender sch in my neighbourhood…
