Dear Parents,


I’m keen to apply PV at RGPS. I called the school this morning with regards with their PV recruitment for children born in 2007. The admin lady told me it has not started and asked me check on the school website for status.

I would like to know how many years ahead before P1 registration can I start volunteering at RGPS. How’s the selection criteria and is it difficult to get chosen?

Thanks for your advise.

You may want to find the school that you want to PV when your child is 4yo and start PV when he/she is 5yo (2nd Semester) then register when he/she is 6yo (2nd Semester). Hope it helps.
My DD2 also born in 2007. If my DD1 cant get in this July under P2B then need to start PV again for my DD2. RGPS is also my choice of school.

Yeah...when they want a TOY, they are so specific to the detail and can even go to Youtube and save that picture.

Hi Mangai,
My husband tried to PV at the school 2 yrs ago and the admin told us they do not take in any PV. Not sure was it because we were late to show interest and the recruitment was already closed? My girl is due for registering P1 this year and I'm already feeling the stress. We stay within 1km of RGPS and hoping she will be able to get in and walk to school for the next 6 years. Then came Wed report that they will be shifting. So sad.

Mummies, can you all pls advise me if both parents need to be present during the P1 registration? My husband was posted overseas, so do I need to get him to come back? Thks.

Even if the school shifts to another location, the school original premise will be used when registrating P1.

Technically, neither of you needs to be present....you can send a representative for the registration process.

But the NRICs of both parents must be presented for the registration.

Hi Mummies of 3 and Hotchix.


Is RGPS shifting because of renovation at their current location in order to cater for single school session? Do you know where is the school temporary holding location?

By the way, going back to PV recruitment topic. For my case, my daughter is going for 2013 P1 registration. I would thought that usually a school will allow PV recruitment 2 years ahead, which is this year for children born in 2007. However, from the feedback I got from the admin staff, the window is not even open yet.

Yes, you all are spot on. I wouldn’t like to miss their recruitment window. So, I better keep follow up on their website then.

They just close the PV recruitment for 2006 in March 2011. So maybe for 2007, u may want to check during October.
