        Hi hi


        Looking at all the post, I can't help but to kaypo and join in the discussion of that school. I will be registering next year though and thankfully, I am 1km to that school, GESPS and ZDPS, I can also register in phase 2A2 for GESPS. I am torn between GESPS and that school because both have got Principals from established schools (KW and MB). And while there have been very little talk about GESPS in this thread, the mothers in the GESPS thread have so far praised the school. Though I will also be thinking if that school will turn out to be the next Rulang in Bukit Merah.

        For parents considering the schools, I think we also have to take note of the after-school care. I think the operator in GESPS is YMCA and I heard, so far is good. That school has another operator but I have heard of pupils being rejected to join the after-school care by the school itself, not sure what criteria they have to join the after-school care.

        And then again, for myself, I also have another deciding criteria. I need AE in the school to help my kid transit. So will be good if any existing parents from GESPS and that school to share on that.

        May I know what AE is ?

        AE is allied educator

          I think for RMPS and RVPS, although you registered for PV, there is no guarantee that you will be selected to do PV. They have their own criterias to select the PV.

          If not wrong, ZDPS will accept all the PV applicants.

            anyone knows what they look out for in RMPS and RVPS for selection as parent volunteer?

              \"wait to last second\" is the phase that I heard almost every day recently, my friends, my son's classmates' parents.... :slapshead:

                Wonder anyone would be 1km of RMPS, ZDPS & APS? Phase 2C 3rd day register at 4.25pm.



                Yes, there are a few blocks that fall within this sweet spot. For e.g. the new neighborhood at Jalan Membina (Blk 26, 27 etc). Lucky people! :hugs:

                  It is not difficult to understand that. RM & RV have more PV applicants than the PV slots, so they can choose. ZD has so few PV applications vs slots available. Of course they will accept all.

                    I was fortunate enough to be selected for both schools back in 2012 but tbh, I don't know exactly what they looked out for. I don't have extraordinary skills, wealth or looks, lol. But I did sign up as soon as the registration was opened. Feel free to PM me if you wish to know more. Cheers!

                      There are more than that, in fact the whole Membina Court, part of Kim Tian , part of Bukit Merah View. I am one of those. šŸ˜‰
