Hi,


Anyone know about Malay Special Program as 3rd Language in RVHS? Any idea where will the course be conducted?

I dont think this is offered in RV but interested students can check with MOELC.

Hello my DD may be joining RV next year

May I ask which way of transport can she reach school in a shorter time? We live in the Bukit Panjang area (Bangkit)which is quite far

1) Home-> walk 10 minutes to Take Lrt 15 minutes to Choa Chu Kang MRT-> Take MRT to Boon Lay MRT-> take 1 bus stop of bus to the gate.

2) Home-> walk 10 minutes to bus stop-> Take bus 5-10 minutes-> Transfer to bus 180 to Jurong Fire Station (Bus travelling distance is about 9km)-> Walk quite a distance to the gate.
3) Home-> walk 10 minutes to bus stop-> Take bus 187 to Jurong Fire station (about 12.8km of bus travelling distance)-> walk quite a distance to the gate.

Or is there any other ways of transport she could take?

Hi ZhenghuaParent

Take heart. BP is not very far from RV.
I agree with starlight that way 1) is the most ideal.
Once DD is familiar with the distance, she can walk to RV from Boon Lay MRT. Often times, a short 5mins walk is much faster than waiting/taking 1 stop to sch.

Alternatively, she can take bus 172 from CCK interchange.
This 25mins ride will bring her directly to the door-step (side-gate of RV).
The turn-tile gate is now equipped with a reader and students could scan their smart card and enter/exit with ease.
Hope this help

Do try out this route first as it can be rather \"long-winded\" during certain hours as the bus travels to Home Team Academy, Tengah Airbase and SCDF (???) before reaching RV side gate (just before Boon Lay Interchange/MRT).

Hi starlight1968sg
No leh.
I commute via 172 every morning & its a smooth, straight forward ride to RV.
At times, 20mins we would reach its side gate.
I guess you need to plan your journey well.

Hi ReVue

Do you board bus 172 right from the CCK interchange? By what time do you usually board the bus and what's the latest time you need to be in the queue for 172 without being late for school? Kindly advise. Thank you.

Hi pdh & zhenghuaparent


Assuming a normal sch day:
It is advisable to be @CCK Bus interchange by 6:10am, seats will be available if board at interchange. Yes, it is crowded during peak hrs.

The ride from CCK interchange to RV is approx. 35mins.
Apologies from my earlier post that it takes 25mins as I start my commute from home which is 10mins further from interchange, paiseh!
Diff students report to sch at diff time due to CCA/other commitments.
Please try out & plan your journey accordingly
