      Yup...so close proximity at Victoria St.

      Back then in sec school, whenever there were prefect investiture (something like that)...SJI boys were always around, for reasons unknown. SJI and IJ girls usually pair up.

      The SJI boys helped in the investiture?

      Nope...official welcome of prefects to school doesn't involve SJI...why they were invited is still something I don't quite understand.

        Umm. … a lot of combi among my frens. NY gers married Catholic High boys, SCGS gers married ACS boys, etc.


        Joyfulhands,
        I am also unsure. Is the church supposed to issue the members with the letters? Maybe will check with church at a later date.

          hi, any idea if child stays outside 2km, under phase 2c, is there still a glimpse of hope to get into RGPS?

            the probability is even lower than winning first prize in TOTO or big sweep....

              Very very very very little. You can check the past statistics.

                Actually, there have been moderate chances of registrating ur child under 2C for > 2km for the last 4 years except 2010. In 2007, the chance was ~ 22%, in 2008, the chance was ~ 44%, and in 2009, the chance was ~ 42%. However last year 2010, the chance was zero.. Because there were more applicants than vacancies for those staying < 2 km. You can check the stats from Rgps website..

                        Quite an anomaly in 2008 and 2009. I remember for many years, RGPS was like hot cakes although not as popular as NYPS, SCGS and MGS which were nearby.
