      Hi,


      Can anyone enlighten me on the traffic condition from Newton to RGPS? I was told traffic is really heavy. I am considering RGPS but husband keeps discouraging me due to the bad traffic condition. pls help. šŸ™
      Take the school bus to beat the traffic. They are given priority to enter and leave the school before all the private cars. My girl who takes the school bus reach home earlier than another girl in the same block driven by her granddad.

        The traffic is smooth flowing from Newton to RGPS in the mornings. The congestion is actually on the opposite side of the road, along Dunearn Road, where you'll find a morning crawl because of SCGS & ACS.

            Sorry, tried looking around but could not find the answer. Thought it would be faster to ask.


            If MGS does not accept PV, why is there so many applicants under Phase 2B? Church affiliation? Grassroots?

            Hi, was wondering if anyone may wanna give their advice or opinions about my dilemma...

            DD1 will enter pri 1 in 2012. 4 schools (as verified by LTA) within 1-2km are:
            MGS
            Pei Hwa
            Keming
            Bukit timah

            MGS does not accept PV so will go by faith and prayers and still try for 1st choice. Now am thinking of 2nd choice school (since may need to do PV if it is a popular school). Heard/read good stuff about St Anthony's (which is not that far from me as I am in Upper Bkt Timah) as well as Keming. Considering CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace. Am not so keen on Pei Hwa... Which school do you think I should try to focus on for my 2nd choice? Would appreciate advice given. Much Thanks.

              You bet!!!

              They can reject PV but they can't reject church affiliation and grassroots.
