Hi classmonitor

We are currently staying in jw. Peps is at bukit batok, but still nearer than river valley.
If i can get son into rvps at phase 2c, then we will move to rv when ppty TOP. If we are unsuccessful, then we remain in current house at jw and rent out new house.
I prefer rvps than peps.
I am worried about the phase 2c at rvps. For 1km, the chance should be rather good right?

What enrichment programmes do you sign up for your kids to prepare for P1?


DD is currently in phonics class since Apr this year. Notice that she cannot focus now after changing teacher and she keep requesting to withdraw.

Tot of enrolling her to RC P1 preparatory classes for Eng and Maths. Plus Tian Hsia Chinese. Hope to give her a foundation before she enter. After she enter P1, I intend to stop all enrichments. See how she fare in sch then decide if I should add on for her weak subjects.

Is this plan workable? Any comments?

can put in PEPS and waitlist at rvps...then when the vacancy comes, then you can decide if PEPS is worth the keep or you wanna give rvps a shot since rvps is nearer to your other property (ie save time on travelling).
if you wanna try rvps, you gonna have a backup plan for Phase 2C supp (and if that has balloting, a backup plan for the Phase2Cs backupplan).
