You mean instead of going for 2B, they will register in 2C?


That's a strange strategy. They could just go for balloting in 2B, then register again in 2C if they failed 2B. That would give them 2 chances instead of one, no?

My guess is the 3 PVs who didn't register were within 1km. They gave up so that the school don't have to ballot for those more than 2km. These 3 can always come back again in 2C and they are almost guarenteed a place bcos they are within 1km

Can't be too sure, right ? New condos and cluster housing are already there. In time to come, those within 1 km will swamp the school ..... be kiasu, be very kiasu and do the ultimate ........

Hi parents


Just want to check under phase 2c, is there ever any successful intake to RGPS for children staying at Bukit Panjang(Senja area) ?

Also for school bus arrangement, what is the usual time for pickup from home and what time will the kids reach home after school?

Appreciate some advises…

Many thanks!

Wow this year RGPS is balloting for those staying within 1km for phase 2C! 65 applicants for 63 places… First time in history…

The 3 PVs who didnt register probably had another back-up plan. They could be PVing in more than one school and decide not to register in RGPS after evaluating their various options.

There used to be balloting under 2C for those staying out of 2km from rgps in previous years, so bt panjang still got chance last time... But this year suddenly it requires balloting within 1km even, so Bt Panjang no chance liao...

This is definitely due to the surge in the properties built within 1km in the last 2yrs.
