Raffles Girls' Primary
-
Hi all! My DD also got into RGPS phase 2c.
From what I gather, it seems that the girls will be super tired on weekdays after school. Big headache for me now becos my DD has enrichment classes on weekdays at 4ish. So for next year, I have to change her (and my younger one) out from weekday lessons to weekend lessons. And this will be so for 1 year until my DD go to Pri 2 when they shd be shifting back to Hillcrest for morning sessions. And then gotta change them out from weekend to weekday lessons again.
Anyone got any emails or letters confirming the places yet from 2c? -
Hi, my DD will be P1 next year. Anyone in PM session and staying in hougang area? Would like to look into transport arrangement. Thanks.

Rgps is not a SAP school right? Why is higher chinese being taught at p1?
Nowadays, need not be SAP schools only then start P1 Higher Chinese.
Depends on how individual school wants to run their Mother tongue curriculum programme. Non SAP schools also can, if their HOD are comfortable, with the idea. And whether P of the school supports the idea too.
What happen is that in most Non SAP schools :
Normally P1 to P4 is normal Chinese.
Come P5, the stronger ones get chosen to do HCL, in P5 and P6.
Tr select the stronger ones.
But in Rgps, we do it the other way round.
We prefer to give all P1 students the same, equal opportunity, to learn HCL.
If child can learn their mother tongue well, consistently, then proceed all the way to P6.
If not, can drop back to Normal Chinese, along the way.
We give you this flexibility.
For parents who target SAP Secondary schools like eg : Nanyang Girls High, Dunman High, etc
They encourage their daughters with conducive home support, to carry on HCL, all the way.
Lately, during P1 enrolment -
our school have increasingly noticed that more and more China parents (either China mother or both parents) had enrolled their daughters, into Rgps. They entered, via p2B or p2C. And once their eldest dd manage to enter, the subsequent younger siblings enrolled under Phase 1 (sibling). -
May I know whats the criteria to continue HCL and when will the sch advise to drop to normal CL? My dd already struggles with Chinese at K2 level (same as me, hahaha), don’t want her to be overly stressed with trying to manage HCL…

Thanks phtthp for the clarification. My gal seems to be doing fine at K2 for chinese though most of the time I know she read her school reader based on memory rather than recognition. And she did not go for any enrichment class for chinese. Hope she can cope.
