I have read that the school bus pick up the girls really early in the morning and is concerned on the school bus timing. Also wonder if there’s any transportation home after Cca as we can’t fetch her. Dilemma…

your dd K1 now, due for 2016 P1 admission.I have read that the school bus pick up the girls really early in the morning and is concerned on the school bus timing.
Also wonder if there's any transportation home after Cca as we can't fetch her. Dilemma...
2014 and 2015 : Sch bus fetch kids to Mount Sinai (temporary holding site)
So, you won't be able to tell what time Sch bus fetch your dd early morning, until 2015 Nov : after Sch bus driver has finalized all the new P1 girls enrolled into RGPS.
Each year, got different new girls join Sch bus.
Every year, the traveling route to school alters, because new girls come on board the school bus.
Hence, the pick up time for individual girl taking school bus, may also change.
We, current parents, won't know what are the new school hours like, come Jan 2016 : single session.
We also not sure if the new building construction (now ongoing) can complete in time on schedule or not, for all of us to shift back to Hillcrest.
Many things are unknown now.
Principal still in the midst of planning the new school hours schedule, for 2016. Not finalized yet.
Not sure if after single session : school going to propose push back the new starting time to start later at 8 am, instead of 7.20 am (currently for P3 to P6), or not.
Since we don't know what time school start in 2016, likewise, we won't know what time school end. Also not sure what time CCA start or end.
Nor what time Sch bus fetch kids home after CCA end, in the late afternoon.
From now (2014) to 2016 ... 1.5 years left
Still quite some time. -
Dear parents, does rgps conduct pri one registration talk ?

okie:
Dear parents, does rgps conduct pri one registration talk ?
No, our school doesn't conduct any Open house, nor P1 registration talk, for K2 kindergarten parents.
This year intake -
same as last year (2013) intake = 270 pupils
Total : nine P1 classes
Each class : 30 kids
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissi ... vacancies/
last year (2013)
Phase 2C (open to public) :
Our school absorbed all SC citizens : staying within 2 km, from Hillcrest.
No balloting was involved.
Initially, Some parents staying more than 2 km had enrolled their dd into rgps, on the first 2 days of Phase 2C.
However, on the last day (third day) of Phase 2C :
school informed all those > 2 km, to withdraw their child, to enrol in some other schools instead, and make it in time fast, so as not to lose the precious Phase 2C opportunity.
Rgps past years P1 registration enrolment statistics
http://www.rafflesgirlspri.moe.edu.sg/e ... statistics
All primary schools' registration : end at 4.30 pm.
Ensure that your child's name is captured into the respective schools' computer system, latest by 4.30 pm (closing time)
Otherwise, if miss 4.30 pm closing time, some schools' P1 registration admin are strict; they'll ask parents to enrol their child, in next Phase 2C supplementary , instead.
But After your dd has been enrolled successfully into our school -
you will receive a letter sometime in late October, specifying when is the date of P1 orientation, and the particular P1 class your dd has been assigned to.
This year, P1 orientation was on Saturday, 4 January 2014.
For 2015 P1 (2008 born children) -
Pupils will study P1 at Mount Sinai (Holland), afternoon session 12.30 pm to 6.30 pm.
2016 onwards -
school target to shift back to Hillcrest : single session. -
Thanks for the details!
-
starting from this year (2008 born kids) -
40 seats have to be set aside.
This is a big change, for those in Phase 2B / 2C, compared to past years.
This new rule will affect all schools, since it is a Top down decision.
Parents of kids in these 2 Phases (2B & 2C), rejoice.
=======================================================
The reservation starts from Phase 1, not start from 2A1.
example:
MOE had shown that Total Available vacancies for Phase 1, at RGPS, is 230
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies/#bukit-timah/
last year (2013), RGPS primary intake
Total vacancies = 270
After reserve \"40 compulsory\" seats (set aside) -
reservation starts from Phase 1 : (270 - 40) = 230 vacancies, available
@ end of Phase 1 (sibling) : 97 Taken
i)
@ end of Phase 2A1 (alumni) : 33 Taken
230 - 97 = 133 (balance)
is balance 133 sufficient, for Phase 2A1 ?
Yes, because 33 out of 133.
do 2A1 (alumni) need to ballot ?
No need
ii)
230 - 97 - 33 = 100 (balance)
How many 2A2 actually registered ?
51
is balance 100 sufficient, to accomodate Phase 2A2 ?
Yes, more than enough: because 51 out of 100.
do 2A2 (ex-students) need to ballot ?
No need

2015 -
155 primary schools study single session.
Remaining 32 schools study afternoon session.
Rgps is one of them.
If we can return Hillcrest, 2016 -
means 2015 is the last batch of (P1 and P2 : kids born in 2007 and 2008) in history, to study afternoon session.
