Does any Parent knows what we need to bring for the data admin exercise on 23 or 24 Oct?

Saw it pasted on the board during Phase 2C onsite but haven't receive any letter/email on it yet.

Also, we have a P1 orientation on 17 Nov, right? What do we need to bring?

i)
for Data Admin exercise day
just bring the same documents as usual, like what you had brought for your P1 Registration day.
eg : your daughter's birth-certificate, etc.

you may book the school bus, on Data Admin day.


ii)
P1 Orientation is on 17 Nov.

Your daughter can come to school wearing home clothes, put on her name tag (which will be issued to you, before 17 Nov)

The Form Teachers will bring them to their own class, get them to introduce themselves, Tr bring them walk around the school compound premises, canteen, etc. to familiarise.

Hi, I am an ex student of RGPS and my DD is now 3, as our home is at boon keng, I afraid the commute for her would be far.

Are there any mummies here who are sending or planning to send their DD to RGPS and staying in the boon keng, kallang, potong pasir area? There are a couple of pri schools I am considering, but am unsure if I will waste the 2A chance of getting her in RGPS. Marymount convent in Toa Payoh is nearer, but would be tough to get in without any PV I suppose?

Hello my daughter got in P1 next year, looking forward to joining the school and many thanks to the parents who posted on the orientation and data admin details.


Is there anyone taking the school bus from the east? Just wondering what time the pick up will be?

Marymount convent is usually pretty easy to get in if you live within 1 or 2km. I recalled this year it has vacancies left even until very late phases.
However, RGPS is probably a better school in general?
Nevertheless, it depends on your DD's aptitude as well, i suppose...

my gal also managed to get in today! looking forward to the next 6 years in rgps!

Hi sweeleng,

did your daughter get into Rgps, via Phase 2C balloting ?

If Yes, were you nervous on that balloting day itself, when the ball slowly rolled out of the cage ?

Yup! nerve wreaking experience indeed. The probability of success was decreasing with every ball picked and DD's number wasn't on it. Can literally hear heart pumping hard with every pick. :nailbite:

Hi, some questions /comments:
- Boon Keng is definitely not within the 1-2 km of Marymount Convent.
- Are you prepared to accept neighbourhood schools ?
- Are you open to the idea to relocate nearer to RGPS ?
- Are there any other factors to consider if you decide to relocate ? Example: After-school care and CCA arrangements etc.
- Do you think your DD would prefer an all girls' environment and the overall school culture?
- Does she have any sibling who is of the same gender ? If not, where would you like your younger child to go to ? If she is the only child, then would this status be so in the near future ?
- Would the arrangement be acceptable for all at least 6 years (or more, adding the differences in the age gap if you have a younger child) down the road ?

Hope the above helps.
