Wow, 6.05am pickup is so early but like Luanee said, the BT jam can get really bad during peak time. Btw, just a tip to share. If your DD cannot eat before pickup, let her bring breakfast to school and eat at tuckshop. She should have enough time if she arrives at 6.30am. I think the recommended time to arrive is by 7.10am but the school gates close at 7.20am. We are one of those rushing to beat the gate closing time every morning. :lol:

Oh my girl's schoolbus pick up time is 6:30am so reach school maybe 6:50 or 7am i guess.. will there be enough time to eat breakfast at that time? I am also worried she wont be able to eat breakfast at 6am.

My gal will be P1 next year. Any idea what books to bring on the first day of school? By the way, I have not bought her school bag. Don't know what bag to buy. Can any kind mummy advise me?


How is it like on the first day? Must I stay there for the whole day? She will be taking the school bus for both ways. Must I wait for her till end of the day so that I can make sure she board the right bus? What else I need to take note?

So excited and yet feel so scary !! Sorry for posting so many questions and thank you in advance

I dont think u be allowed to stay whole day in school on the first day hee. Didnt the principal brief u on that during orientation? U will only be allowed in during recess time for the first 3 days.

I remembered on my dd's first day 2 years ago, we just let her take the school bus by herself to school. There will be teachers and PVs there to guide all the new P1s. Then we only went during recess time to see and wave to her, but she didnt seem interested to see us lol...

For school bags we bought the SPI bag, after 2 years broken liao so bought a new one this year for her. Trolley bags are not recommended for RGPS as they need to climb stairs.

Just a suggestion, how about drinking milk at home then pack the rest for school? Test to see if she has enough time to finish her breakfast before assembly. If not, she can eat at recess which is 9am or 9.30am. At least she will have the milk to sustain her until then.

Yes, it's a good suggestion indeed. I drink soy milk everyday before I go to work, and eat my breakfast in later morning, and I'm quite used to it now.

Check with bus driver again, the pick up timing changed to 6:00am...more earlier. :roll:

Good idea, but problem is she eats super slow so usually she doesnt get to eat much during the short recess haha.. never mind i will let her try first thanks..

Hi there,


Can anyone tell me the name tag should above or below the school crest on for the uniform and pe attire????

Name tag should be below the school crest on the pinafore. Don't need to sew tag on PE attire.

Thanks so much!!!

Hi HVR,


You and I will share the same route from macdonald's king Albert onwards, I think. It may take you about 15/20 min from that point to rgps. My sensing is many people start their journey at 7am so if you are well along BT road at 7am, you should be ok. Based on past observation, the school is quite understanding of latecomers in the 1st week to allow parents time to adjust.

Thanks! Yes will hit bt timah from hill view, old jurong, toh yi and all the way to the school. Most probably kiasu a bit on the first day and will just leave home early.
