My daughter got picked twice at RGPS.. Praise God for the many blessings and double confirmation for her place... I am so happy!! The environment at RGPS is really tensed... Im not going to go thru this again.. Just sending my son to my former school Maris Stella Primary.

VooVoo:

I wonder how the balloting at RGPS went...

Congrats !

So your appeal to the principal did not work ...... not that it matters any more ....

My personal view is that if any school allows one or 2 exceptions by allowing more enrollments than original #, then all schools would get into serious trouble in future yrs as parents would oversubscribe to particular schools with precedent on their side to ask for exceptions again.


Sad, but not much hope from that side I think.

But with such surge in 1km applicants at most of the schools at BT area, it would be great to see more classes opened in coming yrs: strong sign that demand in area is way above supply.

With all new condos around, and more to come, more classes in each school or opening more schools seem the way out.

My half cent

Anyway, nw my mil can call up nyps and complain about the parents who keep parking in front of our place and won't budge even when they know we are going out..

you can call the NPP for enforcement - they promised immediate response

I live near rgps and i can tell u for sure npp won't respond. They r indifferent to residents' complaints

With more new projects around popular schools, it's expected that the crowds will be there. MOE has started the 2 ballot slips for S'poreans and will not make exceptions. I hope more classes will be opened though, but don't think that is possible either given the space constraint.

rgps is shifting....to heartland

I doubt that will happen. Even space in heartland is limited.

Had the strangest and weirdest dream last night. Dreamt that nyps had 400+ places for next year’s reg intake. How can it be possible when there is less space next year? Haha… Seems that stress from the balloting is not totally over yet…

I heard that they were thinking of cutting places this year but did not. Next year, there will a construction of sports hall if I’m not wrong. So I don’t think they will increase the number of places.
