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..php:
[quote=\"deardear07\"]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....

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? -

Your choices are all over Singapore! Where do you stay? Isn't there a good school nearer your home? It's tiring for the child to travel so far everyday.Lol...u guys sure have some sense of humour.

Yeah, kuo chuan was ex sch n yangzheng nearest. Rgps driving route quite fast-10-15min non peak.tao nan further but under 2b...tatz y cun decide. I knw abt distance n dun wana tire dd n spend so much on transport but of my choices,these 2 r stronger in academics n their ccas r interesting. Downside is that they have no affiliation.

Since you have a younger boy, RGPS would be out of question. You're staying in Toa Payoh area? Have you considered kuo chuan since you are former student and kuo chuan is co-Ed ?

I stay serangoon.kuo chuan is quite near for me...but according to threads,im kinda worried abt standards and frequent teacher changes. Besides,if i base choice on psle grades,they have churned out any 275 and above for many yrs...even yangzheng,also neighbourhood sch is doing much better...

Actually im quite keen to find out hw did yangzheng do so well,coz according to parents at my kids' childcare,they r so relaxed~~ -
Pardon me but i have other considerations… Like dual gender better for exposure or stick to single gender n keep my dd away from too many boys…typical protective mother over daughter huh? Then comes my son…siblings r close…duno to put him with sister or… And also of coz his exposure to girls…lol
Argh…think n think so much…
