      From what i heard more GEPers prefer RGS/ RI; so more chance for mainstreamers (DSA) especially those on waiting list ?? 😉 strange; looking at the comments in this thread, i tot more prefer RGS until i saw the voting results. those prefer RGS are more vocal ? or the survey is still new - voters not enough.

      am surprised too, but this thread is merely less than a day old

        Frankly, the traffic along Bukit Timah isn’t that bad. I live in the east and every morning it takes me not more than 20 mins to max 25 mins to send my DS to HCI.


        My DD is at P5 now and I have already started to "brain wash" her to choose NYGH.

            The traffic shouldnt be something to worry about considering how RGS is ultimately worth it. My sister-in-law’s cousin’s daughter is in RGS, basketball.


            She enjoys RGS and the vibrant culture, and in RGS, the houses are very important, and my girl enjoys mass dance a lot.

            Maybe one should explore the opportunities a school provides, and of course your child’s interest.

            But still, I’m brainwashing my girl to go to RGS.

                NY has compulsory cultural activities, like chinese calligraphy and chinese martial arts. RGS doesn’t. So it depends on where your interests lie.

                  those are not compulsory

                  though they are strong in it

                  some of them carry over from NYPS, hence strong foundation in calligraphy and martial arts .... so, boys beware of the martial arts girls !!

                        During my time (i was born in mid 70s), The PSLE cut off point for RGS was ALWAYS higher than NYGH. It’s the no. 1 girl’s school. So I was quite surprised when I read that for last year, NYGH’s COP was the highest. Seems like there’s a shift?
