Hi Titank!


Still haven’t decided on which one to go? Your registration will be next week.

Hi Rena!

Do you still want to try RM, given that it now has 43 places for Phase 2C?

The website for RVPS says the following:

We are also pleased that our Mother Tongue Department has achieved quality passes (A*/A) of 79.0%, a very good improvement from 69.6% in 2007.

Hi QMS,


Where do you manage to get the info of A*/A of the Mother Tongue in Chinese of RMPS of 2007? How about any 2008 information? I been trying to find like others subjects like English, Maths & Science.

Now have a real concern on Chinese of RVPS, seem they accepting certain percentage of foreigners & therefore the standard of Chinese result from RVPS I have doubt. Ha..ha just received the PV letter from RMPS , ha..ha need to think which to enroll on 20/21 July 09.

Hi Titank!

From their website.

We are also pleased that our Mother Tongue Department has achieved quality passes (A*/A) of 79.0%, a very good improvement from 69.6% in 2007.

So, it means, they achieved 69.6% in 2007, and 79.0% in 2008. If, based on this achievement, the standard doesn't seem too bad because we are talking about A*/A grades only.

Congratulations! :celebrate:

What about RVPS? Have you received the letter from them? I don't think you need to be overly worried about their Chinese standard, right, given the above statistics. From 69.6% in 2007 to 79.0% in 2008 - almost 10% increment! What more can you ask for?

Hi QMS,

Sorry I was confused & thought that was RMPS Chinese A*/A. Oh RVPS told me there won't be any letter, they would have a record for those that did PV. Estimate 30 PV's they have recruited in my batch.

Hi All,

Is it when a kid in P3 they have to stay back for ECA? That mean minimum 1 day out from 1 week have to stay back take part ECA.
:?
On top of that, if every subjects like English, Maths, Science & Chinese the teacher require to stay back almost every day for remedial lesson then going to be crazy? 5 out of 5 in a week.

Everyday have to stay back that makes taking the school bus not worth, pay for 2 way where in the end use 1 trip?? Worst we as working parents where have the time to go school like 3pm or 4pm pick them up? That why being think RMPS would be a better choice in terms of transport mode. RVPS requires a bit of walking to the bus stop estimate 10 minutes. :!: :!:

Oh that mean RVPS would have 119 Places & RMPS have 86 places. Therefore in Phase 2B would be as follow:


RVPS (Phase 2B) = 60 places
RMPS (Phase 2B) = 43 places.

Assuming each school have 30 vacancies & 0 grassroot leaders, then at Phase 2C would be as follow:

RVPS (Phase 2C) = 60-30+59 = 89 places
RMPS (Phase 2B) = 43-30+43 = 56 places.

Hi Titank

Based on the above, do you think that both schools will conduct balloting for those within 2km? RMPS has the least remaining vacancies after P2A2 in Bukit Merah area.

[titank]

RVPS (Phase 2C) = 60-30+59 = 89 places

RMPS (Phase 2C) = 43-30+43 = 56 places

From what I analyse, RMPS cut off balloting would be either 1Km or 1-2Km.
As for RVPS, balloting very likely at more than 2Km.

Anyone here planning on CHIJ (kellock)? The take up rate is pretty low as of now. What is the past statistics on phase 2B where church affiliation comes in. Understand that they don’t in PV.

My friend's girl is this case above. She's from CHIJ (Kellock's) and her parents living beyond 2km, she had to take school bus.

Every Tues/Wed (forgot which day) got her CCA and dun forget her classroom duties. Then she got remedial for all subjects (P5 student), if I'm not wrong Friday is the only day she gets to come back slightly earlier.

Everyday reach home around 3-4pm.
