QMS & Chipmunks,

So both of you heading down register in RVPS & GESPS in Phase 2A(2)?

Just to share some info about RVPS & RMPS. A new VP is now in RMPS, if not wrong she came from Pioneer JC. On the other hand, RVPS new Principal was from St Hilda's Primary.

Titank, I've more or less decided to go for P2C RM, and forgo RV. Accessibility is still high on my criteria list. . It's a hassle to apply & withdraw applications, so I'll take a chance.

Hv called up RM & they told me no. of PV is less than 30. If this info is accurate, then no. of places left for RM would be (121 - 30) = 91, assuming 0 intake at P2A2.

I've also asked RM whether there is any plan to upgrade the school facade & then reply was 'Not within the next 2 years' . So the old look is here to stay for a while... :roll:

Titank, your info on RV's new principal fr St Hilda's does make a difference as St Hilda's is another highly sought after school. Unfortunately 1 of my frens did PV for St Hilda's but failed in the balloting in phases 2B & 2C.

QMS, hv u made up your mind - to go GES or RV or RM ? R u within 1 km from RM ? If so, we have some chance in RM also...

Hi Chipmunks,

Ya I also at 1st decided on RVPS where like is there is quite a number of International Nationality in RVPS, so like paying local school fee where enjoy international school standard.

Agree with you the location of RVPS seem rather inconvenience, the only mode to travel is school bus. 1 thing good about RVPS is that P1 is in the afternoon, P2 onwards in the morning.

RMPS accepted PV around 20, then my chance should be good to enter in Phase 2B. 1 more week for me to decide RMPS or RVPS. :?:

Hi Maozai


If you go for RM - bukit purmei area got child care centre. you can leave your child there for BASC. The teacher will bring (walk) them to RM before sch starts.

If you want student care - the nearest student care shd be at Telok blangah heights (Under PAP). for this , there will be sch bus sending your child to the Sch. Perhap you hav to check with the student care and arrange for the transport.

For GESP - There was a balloting for P2C supp last year. If you go for RM under P2C and fail to enrol in, by then when you go for GESP, u might hav to face another balloting. Hav to consider carefully.

As for PSLE result…i’m not too sure… but GESP rather new…perhaps it will take sometime for them to achive better result.

Hi Rena, thanks for your feedback. I nvr thought it’ll be such a stressful thing.


Btw, for parents trying for Ph2c, would you go on the first day or last day to register?

Hi Rena,

You mentioned that there is a Student Care where the teacher would bring them to the school every day? Presuming the P1,P2 all starts in the afternoon? I'm refering to Radin Mas Primary.

Do you have the Student Care Tel where I can check out for more details?

Hi Maozai,

If the school is within 1Km of your choice in Phase 2C then can go register on 1st day then relax already. If you are aiming on specific popular school, do check website on the updated record to see whether you have the chance to enter or have to ballot.

Hi QMS,

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it greatly. Maybe would consider enroll RMPS since maybe next time can use the Student Care service if the child is in P3 onwards. RVPS no doubt is a good school but really the location & distance to bus stop seem far from the school.

Hi Titank!

You have alternative arrangement for your child in P1 and P2?

Seems like your child is assured of a place regardless in RVPS or RMPS. So, just make a decision based on your needs. :celebrate:

[titank]

Hi qms,


Yes both RVPS & RMPS are good schools in the Bukit Merah & Central area. Would do serious evaluation & select based on my needs.
Being thinking P1,P2 do they really need BAAC service as I believed that at P1-P2 seem like transition stage.

So you targeting RMPS also? I heard last year the balloting in 1-2 km also have high chance to get in but the school did not reveal me the probability.
