      Hi All RGPS Mummies,


      Need your experience advice. Should we let our girl to go for GEP in RGPS?

      Cos I heard that they literally do their own cirriculum from P4 to P5 which
      is different from the norm. They are given 1 year in P6 to catch up their
      PSLE.

      In this instance, how are they able to excel in their PSLE? I was told by a
      GEP mum that the GEP course does not help in PSLE. Utimately is the PSLE grades that counts rite?

      What would be the advantages & disadvantage of GEP? Your advice is much appreciated, so that I can make the correct decision.

      Any input on the above is much appreciated.

      MTIA!

      PS. My DD is in P3 & 1

        Hi ladies,

        Can you advise me if RGPS accepts PVs and if so, must we live within 1km? Would it be possible to shed some light on the PV application procedure? Any interviews etc? Is the competition to be PV tough? Thanks so much!
        You may want to check the P1 Registration Statistics for past few years from the school website.

        The FQA section from RGPS PVG website should be able to answer your questions.

          Hi Mummies...


          I read with great interest all your comments about getting your girls to school in time. I was an old girl but lived far away from Holland Grove Rd then, had to wake up at 5 ish am, was the first to board the school bus and last to alight..long ride to and from school.

          I'm super KS, I suppose as my girl is only 14 months old but am hoping against hope that RGPS will move to the Bishan area after hearing about the horrific traffic congestion along Dunearn Rd!

          Was actually thinking of sending daughter (yep...just started walking only!!!) to St Nic's which is much nearer to where I live but no chance coz we've no affiliation or live within 1 km of school. HAHA my friends who have bought properties close to RGPS just to get their daughters in there will shoot me for having such a thought...

          Who knows....6 years down the road the move to Bishan may just happen??
          RGPS will have their school building at Hillcrest upgraded by end 2015 and starts single session in 2016. Hence, it is unlikely to move in the near future.

          Actually Bishan is considered near as compared to many who stay even further.
