Hi Parents whose kids are from Rivervale Primary can you advise how is the school like? I read the post are quite backdated. Are the school still no2 in Sengkang? Are they very academic driven and stressful? Would love to hear some feedback from parents. Compare to Compassvale Primary which is better?

Hi parents, can I know what are the chances for phase 2C, staying 1-2km from the school? I heard even within 1km need balloting… Is that true?

I would say your chance is nearly zero.
Rivervale Pri has ballot every year for SC < 1km in Phase 2C since 2006.

Hi, can I ask if the school will accept PV that’s within 1-2km? What are the possibilities for the school to accept parent for PV on this basis? From past few years are there balloting required for PV staying within 1-2km? Thanks

May I check if the school will have open house every year? Thanks!

Perhaps it would be faster and more reliable to just call the school and ask.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Have called the school and confirmed that they do not arrange open house at all.
Would like to check with mummies whose children are in this school, mind to share the information of their facilities, student care service, school programme and cca?
Thanks a lot!

Any parents here done PV before? What kind of duties that will be assigned? The school just posted the latest news on their website that the duties will have to be conducted on site during school hours? What is the chance for working parents?

Thanks!

Hi...I have done PV before, at another school. It is always during school hours. Working parents gotta take leave or time off from office. Unless (some schools only) you can do traffic warden duty before 7.30am, then rush off to work.

The PV duties I have done before are: accompany the teacher to supervise the children on excursions (nowadays the term is “learning journey”); some art & craft to decorate the school for National Day; extra facilitator in the P1/P2 classroom during art/PE lessons. This type of duties are fantastic for future primary school parents - you get to know the school and the students better. It is very different from preschool.

For Rivervale Pri, I dunno what duties they have.
