The no. of <1km applicants is indeed higher and this could be due to many factor

New residential development could be one, but we also need to factor in the enbloc of Watten Estate reducing the number of <1km residential units in the area. I believe this is the 2nd time in 3 years that there is balloting for <1km. But the big question is, how many <1km applicants are there balloting?

Going forward, the strategy of relying on <1km for P2C as a backup plan, especially for those trying to NYPS P2B may become risky and this may drive more parents to try to P2B at RGPS. This means we could possibly see balloting for P2B in the coming years.

I think one major factor could be due to more affluent Singaporeans who are able to afford to rent or buy property around the area.

Seems like this rly might be the case going forward, esp once the new condo (to replaced the current old watten estate condo) is eligible to be use for registattion. That’s gonna put up 200 more potential balloting chances in the radius

Hi, is there any further info on how many SC kids within 1km balloted for the 90 seats this year?

Unfortunately, MOE or RGPS will no longer publish such information.

Based on historical trends, we should expect to see many 1-2km SC within the mix.
So my guess is the number of <1km balloting will be around 91-95 out of the 125 students.
15 to 20 will be 1-2km, and the remaining >2km.

So for <1km SC applicants, the chance is still high, and those unsuccessful will also be placed on the priority waitlist.

If u were to call up Rgps,
there is their Admin reply :-

\"We DON'T have the details.\"

=============================

Come to think of it,

1) for those SCs who are taking part in balloting less than 1 km, this year (2022) -

did Admin (Rgps) inform anyone of u :

Total,
how many participants are taking part in balloting together with u, inside this \"less than 1 km\" radius ?


2) for those SCs who stay MORE than 1 km away, no chance to even ballot,

on the very LAST day of Phase 2C -

did Rgps (Admin) inform any one of u, by telephone or by other means -

to quickly withdraw and try some other primary school instead, so that you DONT waste away this precious 2C chance


Or

Admin (Rgps) just keep quiet, \"diam diam\", never bother to call u to withdraw, nor update you any info at all ?

To the school, such information may be pointless because enrollment and balloting are managed by MOE and the school cannot influence enrollment patterns or balloting results. The only thing that the school has to pay attention to is perhaps the balloting risk for P2B as this will determine if the school can still accept PV from outside 2km.

hi Parents, does anyone know how many students can sign up RGPS SCC for P1 (after school care)? if oversubscribe, then how ah? thank you!

Hi fellow parents, not sure if anyone has any insights on this - my daughter has been offered HCL for Primary 3. May I know what are the pros and cons if we do opt in for HCL? Especially in terms of PSLE grading, are there any benefits to do HCL? Appreciate if you can share your experience especially fellow parents who have had kids who did HCL at RGPS. Thank you!!!

hi all,

Would like to hear from parents of the current cohort, how do you feel about the culture of the school now? I read some old thread where someone shared that teachers are very concerned with children’s academics and also character building, it sounds very comforting. How about now?

And are there any parents who’s child is academically weaker (or know someone) and has received help after lesson times from teachers (ie not blatantly asked to go take up tuition)? I mean I don’t expect this to be fully a teacher’s responsibility but in my time, we have quite a lot of remedials (optional for better student but also welcome to join) on weekends so that we all could catch up to somewhat a more acceptable level. Wondering how far do the teachers go to help the girls.

Parents can also login online to check, while students go back to own classroom discreetly, to collect results slips from their class Form Teacher.

=============================

How is our primary school’s (RGPS) performance ?

What is the percentage or number of P6 students,
who have scored
AL (4, 5 and 6), and therefore,
can go back to RGS Secondary, whose 2021 COP was AL 6 points -

1) from P6 Mainstream and

2) from P6 GEP ?

Hi

My Daughter will be shifting to RGPS in Jan 2023 as part of GEP. We live in Simei and the school bus although kindly agreed will fetch her around 540 AM. We are looking for private transport, any leads are most welcome. Are there any parents who are currently sending their wards to RGPC from Simei/Tampanies?
