Raffles Girls' Primary

I plan to enroll my girl in RGPS in next few years. We dont stay in the atas area of bukit timah or nearby the school. We are middle-income family. All my friends and family members warned me that the school is very atas and students are all high profile with social status. Will my girl get stressed out or will she be differentiated/biased from others? I would like to get some comments from the insider ie, parents with kids currently in the school. How is the school environtment like? Is what my family/friends warned me is true? and to what extent? Thank you in advance for your insight

In addition, i notice the traffic in front of the school is quite bad in the morning. Seems like its not a good idea to drive there. Is it practical to take MRT and walk to school?

I am not insider, but generally this atas thingie is already the past. It's definitely good to enrol your child in a good/better school. I assume your are in phase 2A, so make best use of it.

Just to share my experience of RGPS as I have 2 girls, one graduated in 2017 and now is Y3 in RGS and one is P4 this year. I would say most are middle income - correct me if I am wrong. Not "Atas" as what people thought. Most of the parents and girls are friendly and well mannered. I have made very good friends in RGPS - I was a PV there and the parents are nice. There will always be a very small number of "atas" families. But I think that is nothing to worry about. Most important is if you find RGPS provides a good learning environment for your girl. My 2 girls are very happy in RGPS and I have no regret for sending them there despite driving early in the morning and enduring the traffic jam. Now that there is the Tan Kah Kee MRT there and sheltered walk way, it is much more convenient.

Hi everyone! May I know if Higher Chinese is offered to the girls from P1 onwards or is it optional? Thank you!

[Mishasha]

No, only offer Higher Chinese in P4 onwards based on your Normal Chinese result in P3.
