      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.

          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.

                        Lol…u guys sure have some sense of humour.


                        I’ve been thinking n thinking for years but still undecided on which school to enrol my girl in…have to plan for my son too…

                        Im choosing btwn kuo chuan pres, yangzheng, tao nan n rgps…

                        Each got their pros n cons… After analyzing n weighing,all almost on par…sigh sigh…duno hw to make the choice. The last 2 r further away n tougher to get in but better academically… The 1st 2 r nearer but in terms of academics,im nt sure hw good coz their results fluctuate…

                        Which would u choose?
