Raffles Girls' Primary

anyway too late to change application now as application for 2C has closed. surprise that school has the info because the online applications for 2C are processed by MOE(?) For earlier phases, school will email parents to follow up on additional documents such as submission of NRIC and birthcert/citizen cert. Therefore, earlier phases (2B and before), school admin will have data but not sure about phase 2C process. but school admin may not disclose info depending on policy? not sure if such info counts as official secret. Lol
good luck to all phase 2C applicants. will be an agonising wait till 10 Aug. -

wow ! This year is shocking ! With so many vacant seats left, how can there be balloting within less than 1 km, for SCs ? This is so un-precedented, un-expected !
Yup I called to check too. <1km balloting.
I thought those staying outside 2 km, then need to ballot.
How come suddenly, got so many people staying less than 1 km ? Is there a new condo built ?
Oh dear ! That means those who residing
( between 1 to 2 km as well as those who staying beyond 2 km), have wasted their precious golden 2C chance, if they are not aware of this, & did not pull out in time, to join some other primary school. -
Maybe the new home distance rule has made a difference. So sad now that we will have to wait for the SC<1KM balloting results.

That said, the current watten estate condo jus got Enbloc. It currently has only 100 or so units. It’s going to be rebuild into a 300++ unit condo. One of the largest condo in the area. Perhaps once it enters the market RGPS May rly start seeing a 1km balloting trend going forward with the extra 200++ units. -

No that one is already being built. Almost done in fact.
i think it is called Fourth Avenue Residences
The current watten estate condo Enbloc news just came out not too long ago. and they r still vacating their current residents. It’s along watten road. Right opposite coronation plaza.
Oh I checked. Current condo has 104 units only. But plan is to rebuild it into a +/-300 units development.

These 125 applicants in Phase 2C also included SCs staying more than 1 km from RGPS,
RGPS has 125 applicants under 1km??!! That's unbelievable!
because
some staying (between 1 to 2 km) or staying more than 2 km, have also applied. But, when come to balloting, only those SCs staying less than 1 km, then can take part in balloting. The rest, staying more than 1 km away, no chance to even ballot. They will need to enrol their daughters under the next phase when it open, ie. under Phase 2C Supplementary,
since they have already lost their precious chance under Phase 2C.
============================
Going forward,
due to the presence of new condo built like \"4th Avenue Residences\", etc. In future, under Phase 2C, from this year 2022 onwards, it sets the trend that
balloting will subsequently arise for RGPS, under less than 1 km. Thus, going forward, parents who stay more than 1 km away from RGPS, please seriously consider some other primary schools, instead. Balloting more than 1 km away, will become ... past history, under Phase 2C. -
clarify -
For 2022 P1 this year (girls born in year 2015),
is there still Higher Chinese, starting from Primary 1, or been scraped ?
(any curent P1 parent here,
can help to confirm ? Thanks)
