I'm a newbie 2016 PSLE mummy and looking at attending RGS open house on 14 May with my gal.


Would like to ask, for parents who drive, does the school allow us to park inside the school? I don't think there is any public carpark around the school?

RGS has a very small carpark and uses its assembly ground as carpark after morning assembly. Even if visitors are allowed to park inside the school during the open house, you are unlikely to find a parking lot. For big school event, the school may liaise with the traffic police to allow the cars to park along the road outside the school. Even with that, it is difficult to park at times so we are being advised to car pool to school or take public transport. The nearest carpark is at Shangri-la.

My girl was excited to be RGS ambassador for Open House, filling up 4 roles today.

She made me wake up early and was in school this morning before 7am while I was hoping for weekend rest.

I went to RGS Open House 3 years in a row. This year I finally can have my rest. But I miss the lively activities. I almost develop a habit of attending Open House.

Did she get asked interesting questions by the parents? I recall the strange enthusiastic questions my dd was asked when she was at Open Houses in the past.

Strange enthusiastic qns...... wow she din have that.
She did 3 rounds of sch tour for parents.

Qns : -
1. Why RGS does not have boarding house as what NYGH and RI have
2. Is RGS life stressful for students
3. How did you fare for PSLE and the scorecard
4. Which CCA are you taking
5. Do the teachers really teach
6. Are the students independent learners
