      Called the school. Getting more opaque. Understand moe won’t even disclose which phase is balloting by 12. Just one sms on 17th. So as good as just wait another 2weeks. Geez quite speechless
      So what did you ask the school and what did they say?
      So far based on last year and also previous phase this year (up to Phase 2B), MOE does not update the numbers on the last day of each phase. On the 2nd last day of the phase, they will give a date if which they will update again. And in that update, they will provide the final numbers including the balloting status. The results of the ballot will come few days later. For example for Phase 2B, MOE announced the final numbers including the balloting status on 29 July. But the results of the ballot was only out on 2 Aug as earlier announced.

      For Phase 2C they will update on 12 Aug and this will include the balloting status. The balloting results on only be out on 17 Aug via SMS.

        Firstly, there are indeed many RGPS girls who got into GEP. I remembered like HALF of the gep cohort for my DD2’s batch was made up of RGPS girls!!! I believe likewise for gep centres like Nanyang Pri. Don’t ask me how the schools did it.

        BUT, if one were to separate the results of gep and mainstream students, the overall psle results of RGPS mainstream is somewhat similar to SCGS and MGS.

        I recall when I went to the school to collect my DD2’s psle result slips, I overheard the conversation of two fathers. They were surprised to know that their daughters were from the same primary school. When both asked each other what results their daughters got, both answered 23X, and their conversation stopped there.

        >45% of the cohort scoring abv 250 includes GEP.

        23X seems like the mean for mainstream? So if the student in RGPS is just very average, then they will appreciate the advantages of pri schs with affiliation to good sec sch. That is why quite a handful of rgps parents subsequently seek to transfer their daughters out of rgps into schools like MGS/SCGS/SN/St Mag etc before psle.

        Again, in the first place, it is easier to get into RGPS than SCGS/MGS Pri if one stays around Bukit Timah.

        Averaging 1 to 2 per class from P3 cohort will get into GEP (total around 14 to 15 students). Some may not remain in RGPS, as NYPS is just across the road. How do the school manage it? It certainly has to do with natural gifts and parenting. Smarter and more educated parents will have a high tenancy of producing smart off springs and of course, parents with more resources may also send their children to GEP enrichment. (not just limited to RGPS parents, many other parents does that as well)

        RGPS has got around 270 mainstream + 2 GEP classes of around 20-25 students I think. So in total, the P6 cohort should have around 310-320 students. Assuming 50% score 250+ that will be around 160 students (inclusive of GEP). If we exclude those new addition GEP students from other schools (assuming 50-15 = 35) that will be 125 students. (ie, assuming ALL GEP students score above 250 - which may not be the case)

        If 125 students out of 270 scores above 250, then it is still a decent 46%.

        Why don’t you ask the school directly for the >45% rgps cohort scoring abv 250, whether the figure includes the geppers.

        For DD2’s batch, there were 3 gep classes. DD2 class alone had 26 girls. For her P6 class, all geppers scored above 250.

          Your DD2 P6 batch,
          was from which year ?
          PSLE 2018 (born 2006) or PSLE 2017 (born 2005) ?

          For your DD2 batch,
          If strip away those 2 GEP classes portion (Rgps GEP classes P6P and P6Q), leaving behind just the P6 Mainstream students alone, was the average (mean) Tscore, 23x ?

          If is 23x, then is similar to MGS (Mainstream)

          DD2 Born 2006.
          Actually for SCGS Pri, its results comparable to MGS Pri, also around 23X. I saw the statistics in SCGS school magazines which the school used to print annually before MOE decided to stop schools from disclosing such statistics.

              From PSLE 2019 (born 2007),

              there were P6 students who scored 22x. With 22x, cannot go (St Margaret / CHIJ Toa Payoh / Crescent Girls) Secondary. In the end, went somewhere else

                I asked about balloting distance being disclosed on 12. Response as above. Unfortunately, there is no way to cross check unless call moe. No other parent posting in this thread nor others. So can’t confirm

                  can name which roads / condo / flats / landed in Singapore, are both concurrently within 1 km distance,

                  from (Nanyang & Raffles Girls) primary ?

                  If fierce intense competition happen over at NYPS, because of the presence of boys there enrolling into NYPS, then after lunch this afternoon, there will be spill-over effect, parents with daughters may switch camp, drop NYPS, try their chances at RGPS

                    Watten, shelford road, and across the road at duchess. Mainly these areas r the overlap, 1km from both raffles n Nanyang.

                    Last few hours before closing. chatgroups say raffles not revealing numbers. Some other schools general office are revealing if asked, not numbers specifically, but will inform within which distance balloting.

                      Hi,


                      Just to ask if anyone happen to call the school if they can reveal whether below 1km need to ballot? Or when will be the date that MOE will release the balloting status on their website?

                        You don't want to disclose numbers, never mind.

                        But basic minimum, must inform parents which distance bracket entering into balloting, so that if certain group of 2C SCs students no chance to ballot at all, after 3 pm, they should quickly make their way down to (St Margaret or Marymount or some CHIJ schools still left with vacancies) primary in time, to secure a last slot in P2C without balloting, instead of wasting away their precious, golden 2C chance
