Raffles Girls' Primary

Nowadays,
Since covid-19 started last year 2020,
RGPS never divulged the distance breakdown anymore. On the last day of Phase 2C, you may not even be able to get through the phone line if attempt to dial in, trying to obtain the latest numbers.
Unlike
in the past good old pre-covid days, where RGPS placed a white board right at the entrance of the school hall on level 2, and the P1 Registration officer very "guai" after 3 pm onwards on the very last day of Phase 2C , every 5 minutes or so, he would dutifully come out of the school hall, updated and refreshed the latest break down figures for SC, by distance category. This way, all parents could see clearly, the breakdown numbers, and they could then decide whether want to ballot or not.
Every batch differs.
This year, unlikely to have SC balloting beyond 2 km.
Thus,
the key question need to ask yourself is,
whether this year balloting arise ( inside < 1 km or less than 2 km),
are you mentally ready to ballot ?
You don’t go and worry for yourself : for this year (batch), is it going to ballot less than 1 km or ballot less than 2 km, huh ?
As you know, in any balloting, only 2 possible outcome : either in or out !
If in the unfortunate incident got balloted out, which i hope wont happen,
are you willing to accept Marymount Convent primary, Bukit Timah primary or any other schools that are left inside Phase 2 C Supplementary, still with remaining vacancies ?
Otherwise,
if cannot accept neither Marymount nor Bukit Timah primary, then u shouldn’t risk the chance of balloting. Simply enrol your daughter into a phase 2C school, where no balloting need involved at all -
Could any parents share - how many girls are chosen for the debate / JMUN programs in P5? Is it only from gep or open to MS girls as well? What is the selection criteria? TIA!

97 places available under phase 2C. 20 more places than 2020. Good luck to all applying under P2C.

Good luck to you, myself and all.

I understand and also agree that it will be good to have more info...but then again I was telling my spouse regardless the info we have we are not going to change our plans so it's fine that we don't have although good to have. -
Yeah in our case maybe not. Just have to cross fingers. But thinking of the broader audience. I’m sure such information can make a huge difference. Potentially throwing a ballot with no mathematical chance.
