I want to know as well.

I'm not sure whether 2013 is the deadline given by MOE, just know a few of schools will start their single session from 2013 onward.

The P has stated in a letter to the parents that the school may move to it's holding site in 2014. This date is not confirmed. Give and take 2 years for upgrading and the single session may commence in 2016.

my son isn't book smart he reads alot of sci books which goes beyond the sch syllabus. For me, i m ok if my girl does not sit for the unsw exam.

Bottom line is, we do what we think is best for our kids :celebrate:

Of course there is. It's just that there are more Math competitions so it's more visible. The downside to this is it's definitely a more competitive domain to apply for DSA in. These days a Gold in Math Olympiad doesn't assure you a DSA offer.

There are fewer kids applying for DSA via English and Science so competition there is less intense, which is a good thing.

You bet!

But she will be affected by the move to holding school during her PSLE year in 2014.

OMG.. just got a call from RGPS to attend PV interview for my 2006 born child. My heart stopped beating for a moment.. hehe..

I know it’s not guaranteed (far from it), but so excited and also so worried! Need to ask for experienced mommies/daddies’ advise.. what should I prepare? What should I bring? How will the interview proceed? Who will interview, how many people will interview us? Is it like a panel interview? What will be the questions? To be honest, we are not sure what the school needs, and our skills are not that specialized and can only offer general services like admin work/warden/escorting children. Does RGPS usually require very specialized services from their PV parents? What kind?
Regarding the time, how usually FTWM cope with the PV jobs? How will the jobs be given to PV parents, through sms/email?
So nervous.. will appreciate any advise. Thanks a lot!

Yeah it be like a panel interview, scary ah? Haha, not to worry lah, just talk ur way through.. For FTWM, try to find work that can clock more hours in one shot, so u can apply for one day or half day leave and clock many hours. Or choose those on saturday ones. Good luck!!

Wow thats great news for me, haha... oh but its 4 more years to go... by then my dd1 will be in P6 and dd2 will be starting P1... and i can go and tour my old school there

Luanee, can u tell me exactly where the location is? 2014 is the PSLE year for our dds. Hope they will not be distracted by the move.

I find this from google map. I guess the location should be the one with the running track since it was formerly RJC.
