      If she is indeed Rosyth Alumni, the first important thing she need to confirm is : got any school bus from her house (near HGS), go to Rosyth @ Serangoon North ?

      If suppose no school bus, next question is : how to go Rosyth then, everyday ? Does she drive, her spouse drive, then what about the return trip back home from school, who fetch ? If cannot resolve transport issue, then only way out is, choose Haig Girls. As long as her daughter is SC, is safe for HGS
      Your questions are very valid. I have friends who are alumni of XXX primary school and want to try 2A but staying beyond 2/3/4km. They have no car and are keen for school bus but at the same time worried that the child needs to wake up super early 5 school days a week for the next 6 years of the life. Self procastinating. :scratchhead:

        Yes.

        If u stay far away from those popular primary school, eg. GEP school & have to wake up very early morning everyday (Mon - Fri) at 5+ just to board (catch) the school bus, and yet not mentally prepared to do so, might as well give up your Phase 2A (old student) slot.

        Example

        My friend stayed in Pasir Ris.

        She gave up her Phase 2A old-girl slot for RGPS (Raffles Girls primary school), a very popular GEP school. Because
        she wants her Primary 1 daughter to have sufficient sleep, and not wake up 5.15 am, just to catch school bus to RGPS, at 5.40 am.

        In the end, she just enrolled her daughter into a neighbourhood school nearer, much closer in the east. That is, CHIJ Katong primary, and gave up RGPS.

        Anyway, at the end of P6, if you are good, if u are hardworking, u will still be able to make it to one of those better Secondary schools, be it via DSA or via PSLE results.

            Hi parents, my girl will be starting P1 in 2024, wondering if there are any existing WhatsApp groups for parents with daughters in the same year?

            Otherwise I have created one here - https://chat.whatsapp.com/LYQbWCZaKsC6Z8LOXPqecg

            Please feel free to join or share with other parents. Look forward to meeting some people! :rahrah:
