[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools
-
we mustn’t forget that RGPS have been reducing spaces available every year, at least 30 a year, so inevitably, there would be less available…they used to take in 360…

2 years ago where <1km cruise in easily ... has now become history
-
yeah,properties here are hot…i know of at least 2 plot of land near my place sold /going to be sold for new development…both within 1 km to PH…it’s getting harder for parents who are actually living here…too much competition everywhere…
-
I was at RGPS during the very nrevous last 2 hours. Seeing parents going in and hoping that they are the oens that withdraw rather than register.
Nice talking to Michael, Stella if you reads the forum. And also the guy from Shelford.
Btw, SCGS is 43 for 43 within 1km.
Say hi when we see each other at the AVA Room 1 on Friday, 05/08, 230pm.
Best of luck to all.

Even if this is true, they CANNOT change their address to that of the pte property because they are supposed to stay in the HDB flat. So it is a real hassle for HDB folks. If they own 2 private, then not so bad.
HDB owners do not need to sell HDB when they buy private properties.NonKiasuDad:
It is not the rental guys who make up the bulk of the <1km, that's for sure. It is not an easy thing to rent. You need to be staying there, which means you need to shift house and if you own a HDB, then you must sell your HDB,etc, etc.
I don't think there will be many from rental address.
Anyway, only 45 applied for RGPS within 1km? That's surprising, given the number of new high rise buildings coming up around the school. Last year was 65?? -

The rule is against him if he rents out his HDB property. Correct? -
Hi NonKiasuDad,
There was 63 vacancies last year, so 65 applicants. Think 1 drop out along the way. This year, only 41 + 1 (Last min Drop out from 2B). So 45+1 (Outside 2km) applicants. -

NYPS is co-ed - one of the reasons why it's so popular. Also there's affiliationt o NYGH for the girls.It seemed like RGPS is getting very competitive partly due to spill over from NYPS. But this does not mean that RGPS is not as good but NYPS is definitely more popular.
2 years ago was the last time where <1km can cruise in easily. -

A number of schools are going through balloting in the 1km across. Its expected when you have residential developments coming up all over the place and also a huge influx of foreign PR's. We've only ourselves to blame when we feel the pressure. The government needs to give first priority to Singaporeans and then PR's> The system needs to be fined tuned in favour of Singaporeans
