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

Raffles has always required balloting in Phase 2C, but in the past 5 years, balloting has only been limited to those staying >2km away, except in 2020 when balloting was very high (above 200%) and limited only to those <1km.

In the upcoming registration, Phase 2C has actually increased by 20 seats, but I suspect many of the alumni who got caught in the recent changes might ballot in Phase 2C. There are 3 days for Phase 2C, so I would watch the take up rate carefully until the last day and then decide. Just get your second choice ready, and it must be a very solid 2nd choice.

Thanks!! That’s v helpful. Those were my observations as well. I am indeed one of those alumni caught by the changes and have to give up alumni school for a “nearby” school unfortunately not near enough but still under 2 Km 😨

And indeed the stats for 2020 was rather out of the norm! It is pretty unpredictable.

Well, you should still try your luck at Phase 2A then. Maybe you might beat the odds and then the discussion on what to do for Phase 2C is moot

Hi,


After a year with RGPS, I still don’t know how the classes are grouped? 😅 Any one has an idea how the girls are placed in classes from P4 to P5?

For P4 and above, only HCL/CL and Math classes are banded classes, grouped according to results. Sc and EL will be in form class, which is mixed ability. But not sure if new P will change anything.

Thank you!

May I ask if getting 90% in P4 in RGPS is it considered normal / average? is it true that even with this score the child will not even be in the top 25%? Thanks
