      Hello fellow Rafflesians,


      We have two RGPS girls having fun in our creative writing classes at the moment. As an Raffles alum myself, it feels great to be sharing knowledge with the new generation. And, it's also wonderful to have classes with Rafflesians because our teachers can take discussions to a different level, and at a faster pace.

      If we can get together a group of 5 of the same level, we'd be happy to form a Raffles Class. For Children's Day we have created a special $110 nett class for October: Creative Writing (4 x 85 min): a twice-a-week programme would finish before SA2. We also have a PSLE Marking Days course ($180 for 2 days; $225 for 3 days) (3 hours per day).

      Do also consider for Oct or post-exams: our Literature courses. Our books include Holes by Louis Sachar, which is a good introduction to Sec School lit texts!

        I was hoping RGPS will occupy the old RJC site after HPPS moved out in Jun 2013 coz its much nearer my place haha..


        Wow principal briefing P1 parents? About what??
        Went to the briefing. It was about what they have done for P1 so far and the plans for next year. She mentioned that they are looking into the old RJC site that HPPS is moving to as that would be the closest. The move would be in 2014 for two years.

            I would like to find out if RGPS provides enrichment classes for P1 & P2 students? Do they have abacus, speech & drama, creative writing, etc? I heard some schools teach maths with abacus… RGPS?


            How much do the classes cost? Is it conducted during school hours or on Sats?

            Pls advice… thanks!

                I think no problem one lah, the girls should be quite adaptive... U familiar with ghim moh area? It's somewhere there, at Mt Sinai. Near the old ghim moh primary school... The enviroment there is good, not noisy and definitely less a jam than the current Bt Timah one... nearest mrt would be Buona Vista.

                  No enrichment classes... No abacus... Speech and drama is part of the curiculum during English lessons I think... Only know we have to pay extra if we opt for 'fun gym' during PE lessons

                        This gives the parents the flexibility to choose what enrichment classes they want for their children.
