[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[Mangai]

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.

Thks mummies for the advice. Thats such a relief. Its so stressful when there is no one to discuss with. Lucky there is a knowledgeable bunch of mummies here.

May I ask again, if my dd didn’t make it to our school of choice, is BTPS the next nearest option ard bukit timah? I’m actually not hoping that she will get into some popular schools, but more to getting into the nearest school possible. I had such fond memories myself, of walking to my school and going back for lunch b4 the afternoon classes. I wish my kids will have the same memories.

Don't be too stressed, there is nothing much u can do now if ur boy is registering this year. What u can do is to put ur son on the schools waiting list should u not suceed. Anyway there were a few years which phps need not ballot under 2c for those staying within 1 km so all the best!
