I think you mean 2C < 1km sure in. There is still a very high likelihood that RGPS will ballot for > 2km.

No, not true.


Under the newly announced combined Phases ( 2A1 + 2A2) -

1) only SCs living less than 1km from RGPS, are \"sure in\",


whereas


2) based on not one but several past years' P1 enrolment statistics figures observed, balloting might arise, for SCs living more than 2 km,


because

RGPS is an \"All Girls\" school, unlike Nanyang primary, which is co-ed.


As such,
if you have two alma mater to choose from, say

for example

- from (P1 to P3) studied at RGPS before,


- then from (P4 to P6) , transferred out to GEP (Nanyang primary),

because

NYPS is affliated to NYGH, whereas RGPS is Not affliated to RGS at all, then

under this newly emerged combined Phase 2A,

it makes sense to come back to RGPS, instead of NYPS.

There are many, many 2A parents staying more than 2 km away, from both (RGPS & Nanyang) primary. Just take a look at the Total number of school buses leaving RGPS school compound premises at 1.45 pm, Monday to Friday, u can tell easily.

This piece of merging 2A news announcement will definitely impact many of us.

You mean 1km within a non affiliated school gives you higher chance and less competitors than a full school? Right? Also depends if everyone can afford the rent. $4-5k/month locked in for a one/two year lease just to try chance, unless you earn comfortably!

Sorry I dont quite understand the rationale for : \"because NYPS is affliated to NYGH, whereas RGPS is Not affliated to RGS at all, then under this newly emerged combined Phase 2A, it makes sense to come back to RGPS, instead of NYPS.\"

Is it because more alumni for NYPS?

[phtthp]

Yes, within the same Phase 2A,

if a primary school is

(co-ed, accepting both boys & girls +
SAP +
GEP centre +
having a good affliation to an IP NYGH Secondary school at Tscore 250 / projected, estimated AL 6 points),
you can expect

the Total number of 2A applicants to be much, much higher in NYPS,
than that of RGPS 2A applicants.

Furthermore, the rules of the game have changed.

Last time,
in the example of two alma mater GEP Transfer case,

if failed to ballot in Phase 2A1 (NYPS), never mind, you still can come back and join 2A2 (RGPS). You can bite the cherry, twice.

But with the new combined ruling, cannot. Out front, you have to decide, can choose only 1 school. You want to register for phase 2A (NYPS or RGPS) ?

Also, depending on the zodiac sign (year) your daughter is born in, it is possible that under Phase 2A, combined 2A RGPS applicants may not need to ballot, even for SC living outside 2 km. Take a look at the past historical trend statistics under Phase 2A, study the figures there. Just remove away the 20 seats from phase 2A, to allocate to Phase 2C applicants.

Example

If girls born in auspicious dragon / phoenix year : SC > 2 km, 2A applicants might ballot. But

If girls born in Tiger year : SC > 2km, 2A applicants no need to ballot. All will be admitted in

Thanks Phtthp. Combining the 2 phases under Phase 2A does have a big impact.

The supply side of the equation for P2C will remain unchanged however when parents like you start to think its a sure thing for P2C <1km, then demand will naturally increase. Regardless of changes, RGPS still remain as the GEP primary school with the most number of vacancies for P2C.

Any parents can advise how’s the traffic like during school dismissal? I understand that we can only start driving into the school compound from 1.50 pm onwards, average how long does it take for you to pick up your kids?

What about the traffic surrounding the area? Anyone park their car nearby and walk to the gate to fetch instead? Will it be more convenient this way?

[mscappa]

Any thoughts on whether 1-2 km will need to ballot under 2C for the 2022 registration? New rules are 😨
