Enter by Gate 1 (this is the main RGPS entrance).

Because If you park at HDB car park, at Block 1 -
Note that Gate 3 small side gate is locked up : from 8 am to 11 am.
That means from morning 8 am to 11 am -
you cannot enter by Gate 3 side gate, because it is locked.
after parking your car at HDB car park, you can still walk by foot, to main entrance, Gate 1.
(about 5 to 7 minutes walk : depend how fast you walk by foot)

Important to check the Gate entrance opening hours here

If you park at HDB car park Block 1, please kindly park in the lots, meant for the public.
Do not park at the lots reserved for Ghim Moh residents, nor park at lots reserved for handicapped.
Because residents will complain to school Principal, if Rgps parents or visitors park at their residents' lots.

Hi,


Want to ask the chance for a foreigner to successfully register for P1 at RGPS.
We are staying at Bukit Timah Rd and now panicked.
Seems like all schools at Bukit Timah Rd area are top notch schools and no chances for foreigner to enter.
Any idea which school should I go to and try my luck.
My girl will be 6 years old next year and we are foreigner without any passes.

Thanks

Foreigners can only apply under Phase 3.

For Phase 2C (only for SC + PR) -

i)
four schools here (MGS, Nanyang, Henry Park, Pei Hwa Presbyterian) primary :-
All require SC to ballot, within 1 km, from each of these 4 schools.
SC greater than 1 km : no chance to even ballot.

ii)
RGPS

last year (2013) : SC balloted within 1 to 2 km.

SC greater than 2 km : no chance to even ballot.
SC > 2 km who had registered earlier : were told to withdraw, on the last day of 2C.

By end of Phase 2C -
Above 5 schools are full house, 100 % occupied.

Iii)
Bukit Timah primary

SC who failed to ballot into Phase 2C, will rush for it, under Phase 2C Supplementary.
As such, Under 2C Supp -
Bukit Timah primary becomes a hot favorite.

Bukit Timah primary is the only school, that still have very, very few limited seats left, for Phase 3 (foreigners)

================================

I suggest you email MOE :
try to obtain last year 2013 list of primary schools under Phase 3 (for foreigners), that have vacancies.
From this list, go through each school, see which school you're interested in. Then call up that respective school, talk to the Principal / VP, find out more about the school.

MOE email : [email protected]

Telephone : 687-22220

Note :-
In the event of balloting for Phase 3 (foreigners) -
Priority be given to (SC + PR) first, if they failed to ballot in, in the earlier Phases of (2C + 2C Supp).

Hi,


Does anyone knows whether RGPS and SCGS accept PV that stays more than 2km?

Yes, RGPS has always been accepting SC PV, even those staying more than 2 km.

last year (2013) -
all SC PV got in : including > 2 km.

(not sure about SCGS)

Dear phtthp

I have PM a note for your advice.
Appreciate your response when you get time.

[phtthp]

Phase 2B SC GRL applicants, may take note -


- SCGS and RGPS happen to come under the same \"Moulmein-Kallang\" Constituency.

On the last day of 2B -
if balloting risk is too intense at SCGS, some of you may want to hop over.

- these four schools (Nanyang, Pei Hwa, Henry Park, MGS) primary :
belong to another, different \"Holland-Bukit Timah\" Grassroot Constituency.

Hi, looking at the current registration rates for RGPS, what are the chances for SC >2km in Phase 2C?


Is RGPS setting a cap for the maximum number of vacancies in Phase 2B and for those who do PV?

And how does the withdrawal process work? That is, if we intend to withdraw from a school where we have obtained a confirmed place, do we need to go down straight to that schoool to withdraw or do we do it online somewhere?

Finally, does the online registration for Phase 2C, which has been implemented this year, allow a single parent who is divorced to do the application online? Cos I see that both parents' singpass is required for online application. So will a single parent with full sole custody, care and control of the child be able to use the online system with one singpass alone?

Sorry for line-up of questions. I appreciate your help here
