[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[Crystal Poh]

Dear all,


Am a newbie in this forum. My son is born in 2006 and now am in a dilemma… Dunno whether to choose from River Valley or Radin Mas. PV closed for River Valley but Radin Mas is still opened till end June.

Is it a must to do PV? Radin Mas is within 1km from my home. But River Valley is within 2km (very difficult to go in).

Pls advise. Thanks!

Perhaps you would like to give yourself an introduction at the Newbie thread? It's a SOP in KSP.com.

If you can, try to perform PV in RMPS, even though you are within 1 km from the school. It will save you the stress and heartache when it comes to registration.

As for RVPS, since the PV registration is close, there is nothing you can do.

hahaha… ok…


Ehhh… Am Crystal, 29 this year. Have 2 boys, elder one was born in 2006 and the younger one in 2010. Staying in bukit merah area. Am a PTSAHM.

This site is really useful! Should have came in sooner and maybe will get a chance for my son to enter RVPS.

So I shouldnt try for RVPS already right? My hubby was still telling me that we should take the gamble. If cant then we will settle for RMPS. But after coming into this site, i realise that RMPS is also very popular. Haiz… am really not very keen to do VP. But i heard from elsewhere that VP also wont guarantee a placing… I thought birth rate is dropping. Why still got problem going into a neighbour pri sch?

When birth rate drops, the number of classes are also reduced. Thus competition is always there

Welcome to the rat race

Hi

I am staying within 1 - 2km for Radin Mas but outside 2Km for RV. Which area are you staying as i suspect u are actually outside 2Km for RV.

Rena:

I have agreed with what SALL has mention. :celebrate:


My boy is doing well at GESP.

I think it might be due to the location that made it not so popular compare to RMPS. And the estates there are rather old. Only a few block of new flats around there.

Hi Rena

How is the student mix?

am really new here… How do I get the box thing to reply to a particular person???

[Crystal Poh]

Am staying in Jalan Bukit Merah. The old estate. I actually called up the admin staff in RVPS. And she told me that i can still try to apply. She will let me know before the balloting whether my son got chance or not. But i think it is really risky. Coz from pass reports, balloting only done for within 1km.


Since Radin Mas is also not a bad choice, am thinking that i should just put him there.

Heard Zhangde also quite good.

Are the schools also using the onemap as a guide? If it is, then RMPS is within 1km and River Valley is within 2km.
