[quote=\"ZacK\"]In fact I'm contemplating if I shd try my luck with RV... Based on what I heard, no complaints pertaining to their curriculum, students are well disciplined and becos of its location, it's akin to an informal international school due to having many overseas students. Anyone able to confirm this?


I shd have a place at Henry Park under 2A1. Thinking of registering at HP and then check out the vacancies available under 2C before deciding if I shd drop HP and take a shot at RV.

Are you staying more than 2Km from RVPS? Past balloting history showed that balloting more than 2Km at Phase 2C. Wish you good luck then.

Used the Streetdb site and it showed that I'm 2.76km from the school :oops: [/quote]You could join the parent volunteering.

Actually, I subscribe to another school of thought. I think it is only meaningful to do PV only for schools that you have a fighting chance to get in, ie. schools that are within the 1km or 2km radius to your home. It will be terrible to spend all that time doing PV only to find that you don't even get to ballot in Phase 2B.

Anyone still have any info on River Valley Primary to share? Still have what factors to consider to enroll into this primary school?

Hi,


I’ve called RVPS up to ask if they have open houses. Nothing planned yet. But they said that we can call them to fix an appointment for a guided tour.

Given RVPS’ location plus our plan to send DS1 to before/after student care, it just seems impossible and impractical to register DS1 there. Somemore P1 pm session, P2-P6 am session, makes it more troublesome to plan. DH and I racking our brains last night just to think about the dropping/fetching arrangement.

What will be the child’s pick-up arrangement like should he/she be studying at RVPS? Anyone able to share?

Guess if you want to have BASC then the best option would be either ZhangDe Pri or Gan Eng Seng Pri. RVPS location seem to be disadvantage but it is still very well sought in every year.

Anyone know whether RVPS has PV every year?

My parents-in-law are staying at Delta Ave and is within 1km wrt RVPS.
I'm planning for PV. Phase 2B TUR for this year, 2009 50%.
