Hi RMPS parents,


May I know if any of you live in the north (or know of other kids in the school)? We live in yishun and quite keen to register in rmps (eligible thru phase 2B). Logistics is the biggest headache though and I think the school bus doesn't go all the way there. Would be grateful if anyone has similar experience to share. Thanks!

Wow from Woodlands to RMPS would be extremely challenging consider that RMPS is not situated next to an MRT station.
Once the kid in P3, he or she may have extra lessons or ECA which need to stay back late, easily like 2/5 in a week. If weak in certain subjects then may have to stay for remedial lessons could stretch the kid to 3/5,4/5 or worst 5/5. You may want to consider other primary schools in Woodlands.

Frankly speaking, I don't think any other schools in or near Woodlands are that much inferior to RMPS to justify the travelling. Of course, it's your choice. Just bear in mind what titank said above.

Thanks Titank and qms.. I'm in Yishun [not Woodlands :)] and competition to get in the better ones is quite stiff, which makes it a hard decision to walk away from the near guaranteed spot in RMPS.. grateful for ur advice though.. thanks!

Hi!

Sorry, somehow I remembered wrongly.

Anyway, what you can do is to register with RMPS in P2B and monitor other schools near your house in P2C. If chances of getting into schools nearer to you are acceptable to you, you may withdraw your application with RMPS as register with the former.

But, frankly, after you put your child in RMPS, you may find a hard time justifying why your child should go through the long daily commute, imho.

thanks titank and qms! Appreciate your advice!

Hi Mummies!


This year we likely going to register for RMPS since my hubby have joined the alumni for P1 2018. I am just curious, the cca choices seems very limited. any feedback? Thanks

The school's niche CCAs are Chinese Orchestra and Chinese Dance. Not too much focus on other CCAs, though.

If you like your child to have exposure to a cca that is currently not offered by rmps then you will need to weigh all factors and decide whether the school is a good fit for your child. If there is no preference yet, why not let your child take the lead when the time comes. There are currently 16 cca to choose from. The school will hold a cca fair for P2 students after which the kids will indicate their preferences.

Looking at the school achievements for past years as posted on the school website, cca in various categories have performed well in national/zone competitions. More importantly your child should enjoy the cca and be able to acquire a skill or two.

That said, my child will only start his cca selection process later this year. I do not yet know how students are selected when demand exceeds supply but I do hope that the school will give all students a fair chance to develop themselves in their preferred cca.
