Hi jtoh


Based on info from RGPS's website, there are 8 mainstream P4 Classes and 3 GEP classes for 2010 and 8 P3 Classes.

Cheers!

Thanks Herbie.

You're right, only 8 classes in P4 this year, and 9 classes in P5 and 6 this year. Previously there was 10 mainstream classes A-J. I wonder why the numbers are reducing. Did RGPS reduce its intake in recent years?

You will see the intake numbers reducing over the last few years if you take a look at the P1 reg stats from RGPS website.

If we based on the recent years intake, the number of students and classes for each level should be something like this.

P1 - 10 classes (30 each class)
P2 - 10 clasees (30 each class)
P3 - 8 classes (about 40 each class)
P4 - 8 classes (about 40 each class - 4A to 4H where E/F are the top mainstream classes) plus 3 GEP classes (25 each class - 4P, 4Q and 4R)

The students from the 3 GEP classes came from all over SG althought I heard there were more from RGPS. But I do not have the figure.

Asked the FT during PTC and she said P2 to P3 allocation is done ‘systematically random’ lol… Anyway all the girls in the same class will be sort of ‘mixed abilities’.


Not too sure about school bus this Friday. But my husb will send my dd go for the P1 orientation performance.

I was told about 1/3 of the GEP cohort were from RGPS P3 girls and every year the statistics would be about the same.

From 2007 registration year (p1 in 2008), intake was 300. Prior to that, intake was 330/360 so looks like intake was reduced but since 2007, intake was stable at 300. Found the stats in school's website.[/quote]Thanks KSP and aqeqiq.

Hi Luanee,

what did the FT say abt the CCA? Forgot to ask her that day
We made 6 choices via the internet and apparently, we are unsucessful. We didnt even get 1.
That’s puzzling. Wonder how they do the allocation?
Then next year when CCA beomes compulsory. Confirm we cant get anything of our choice?
So I guess its good to start early…

In this sch, as long as your kids are within the top 70 percentile, i personally think that efforts should be channelled to the development of sports or performance arts rather than fighting for a place in GEP or top mainstream classes.


Just pause for a moment and consider whether the above made sense.

Oh teacher said that if u havent received any notification yet, means u had not been successful. And there would be a reapplication opportunity in early Jan. My dd joined the choir in P1 and P2, but for P3 she changed something else as her first choice, so now she didnt even get a single one out of her 6 choices! I was quite surprised too. Perhaps they give priority to P4 and above since their CCA is compulsory?


Btw does anyone know how the house color is being determined? Would there be any change when they reach P3? Reason is my girl complains that her current PE tshirt is too tight for her. So if we want to get new ones, what house color should we get? The same color or it doesnt matter?

Oh and the teacher also told us my dd’s ranking among the entire P2 level. So they do rank, just that they didnt publish out the results.

I asked for ranking in class and level, Class she told me but level she just said within xx (very broad isnt it?)

As for the CCA she said she wanted to drop her violin and and now none was sucessful so guess have to wait for January...

She told me there was a lot of vacancy for bowling and she was keen, I just told her NO, too far.....

Oh where is the bowling venue?

Her teacher told us my dd's exact level ranking leh... but i didnt ask about the class one.

And finally received email from school that there be no school tomorrow except for performers, prize winners and P6 girls, what a late notice.
