Heard you had mentioned that yr friend even have a child in RMPS also encourage you to try RVPS? RMPS to her seem like a normal neighbourhood school?

That's right! As mentioned by her, she sent her elder son to RMPS initially because the school was near her parents' house. She used her parents' address for registering her elder son. According to her, at that time, RM was not popular at all. There were still vacancies left after children in her category (1-2 km) were given places in the school.

It seem like many is asking me to try for RMPS but DS kindergarten heard quite a few is heading to RVPS.

Why did your friends/relatives ask you to go for RMPS instead? Perhaps you might like to bring your son to the schools this weekend and ask him which school he wants to go to.

Seems like RVPS is more flexible for you, since the transport operators do make extra trips to cater for students who go back during the \"abnormal\" time.

Boys seem to want to follow/go with their friends more than girls. My boy wanted to go to the same school as his friends, but he couldn't tell me which schools his friends would be going when I asked him.

Hi QMS,

RMPS PSLE showed great improvement only in 2007 onwards, that why your friend maybe felt that RMPS is just a neighborhood school during that time. Now look at the current take up rate, already 64% which almost 5 classes being taken up in this year registration.

Many of my friends asking me to try RMPS since I had done PV, other parents want to go in RMPS also no chance. Ha..ha in-fact I had bring my DS to view the 2 schools, seem that he do not have any comments on it. RVPS P2 onwards is in the morning, therefore the concern for staying back would be in 2011. The RVPS school bus do cater certain days (Maybe 2 days in a week) for those staying back due to ECA or remedial. If enroll RMPS, DS in P3 should be able to take SBS bus I suppose.

Anyway both schools (RVPS & RMPS) are academically competitive, I would now have to evaluate on the logistics arrangement.

Hi All,


Collected my PV letter from RMPS & decided to recee & see how RMPS. Agree with some of you had mentioned that the walkway seem very dark, give me the impression like 阴阳路 where may have some \"GHOST\" going to apprear out. :shock:

The classroom seem very old, wonder have the school undergoing major upgrading. Maybe can check with MOE when the school going to tear down & construct new one?

Hi Titank!

During your visit there, did you take note of the \"issues\" you were concerned with?

Oh! Somewhere earlier, Chipmunks mentioned she asked the staff this question, and the reply from the staff was \"not for the next 2 years\". So, the condition is here to stay for a while.

The walkway indeed very dark & seem the ventilation system not very good. The best option is RMPS tear down & construct again. There is a big piece of land next to the school, if RMPS can get the land do expansion would be good.

Ha.ha if RMPS could be like this standard then is really good.http://www.mahabodhi.moe.edu.sg/home.htm

Ok I remembered now, so Chipmunk & QMS all aiming RMPS.


How about Rayeng. Rena, Maozai?

Hi Titank, I would likely be RVPS or CHIJ. Have not decided at this point. You mentioned your DS childcare has friend going to RVPS? Which childcare did your DS attend. My DD has the same thing too. From what I know there are at least 2 parents in my DD childcare who are interested in RVPS

Rayneng,

Oh my DS is attending Kindergarten at Outram Road area, not a childcare centre. So far just knew a few had registered in Phase 1 & 2A(2) into RVPS. Never heard of anyone heading to RMPS, perhaps Radin Mas sound like Mas Selemat, Selmat Datang. If pronounce in Chinese name is it 拉丁马士. Maybe Radin Mas was a Princess in the old time history of Singapore.

Not much time left, need to decide where most likely I would head down on 21 July 09.

I had dropped you a PM.

Seem like there is very little information & discussion on Blangah Rise Primary. Maybe have to wait until Phase 2C Supplementary where this school would be discuss again. : :lol:
