The principal mentioned in the news letter that school will be moving to temporary site end of this year. Anyone knows if the move is during the 2010 school term or during december holiday? If its during the school term, then I need to quickly arrange for alternative childcare. Big headache …

The school will move during the Dec holidays such that the new school term for Jan 2012 will start at the temporary premise.

Hi ksmummy,
Thanks for the clarification.

Noted that there is enrichment classes for P1 English and Chinese on Saturdays at Rosyth. Any idea if we should send our kids for these classes, as I noted these classes seem to be organised by external tuition centres?


Also noted there is violin and ballet on Sat and Sun? Are these called CCAs which we have to get our kids to attend?

I am a new parent for P1 school going kids, appreciate some advice. Thanks.

CCA is not compulsary for lower primary.
The weekend enrichment classes/CCA are conducted by external vendors, not compulsary. Only some of the CCAs are 'recognised' by RS.
Juz FYR, attached is the 2011 CCA list.

Hi!


I plan to apply PV at Rosyth next year for my daughter’s primary 1 intake in 2015. Looking through all comments posted so far on chances of getting PV at Rosyth, I have to say it is quite dampening on my confidence level.

Besides filling up the PV application form, are there any strategies that I should take note of? I currently live in Punggol, does this mean that I have discounted myself considerably compare to those who live within the 1km/2km perimeter from the school?

Just out of curiosity, are there any Rosyth parents out there who has the same situation as myself but succesfully getting a PV and got selected in Phase 2B of P1 Registration exercise?

Appreciate your sharing of success stories!!

Hi, reporting as mum of a p1-sincere boy from Rosyth. Anyone w kids in same class? My son loves his form teacher a lot!


Mangai, i got in thru being a pv in Rosyth n stay 1-2pm from sch. u may wish to see http://www.rosyth.moe.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=78756

The sch will open pv registration for 2007 kids soon. Those kids born before, registration is closed already. According to last yr's stats, seem that 30/140 so less than 25% chance to b selected as pv.

I heard that parents who got in as pv r generally high caliber- doctors, lawyers, directors, accountants, managers, etc. I was a manager myself whilst my hubby is also a manager. A friend who applied 2x (for both her 1st n 2nd kids) was rejected twice as she is a full time mum while hubby is not a mgr.
But before u start accusing the sch any being elitist, sometimes, it's part of nature selection of being in Singapore. Try to beef up your application form as phonecalls n visits to sch won't help at all.

Another way to get into Rosyth is thru grass root volunteer. It's an easier route. [/b]

Hi Tarzen_gal, my gal is in P1 Sincere too.


My hubby is also a volunteer and we get into the Rosyth under within 1km.

Mangai, I agree with Tarzen_gal, you should try grassroot volunteer instead of PV as the chance is higher. Roysth only accept a limit of PV which alot of parents are registering on it. All the best to you. Hope you manage to get it.

But the question here is Mangai lives in Punngol, a different GRC from Rosyth. Does it qualify him/her priority to register in Rosyth under the grassroots route?
