[tired mom]

Anyone went for RGS open house today? Was there any information whether RGS will be moving? will it be to a holding site?

Thanks so much for your information, Funx3! It is really useful in our decision for RGS vs NYGH

when they move, it won't to a holding site. probably they will build the new premises (rumored to be near to RI) first and once ready, just move in

anderson road rgs site will become luxury condo

Thanks so much vks2010! This was one question I asked the parents support group which they refuse to give me a straight answer… I don’t mind moving school but I m against holding sites as they r typically suboptimal for proper functioning of the school. Very comforted to know this. Thanks again!

We went for the NYGH open house. While we like the school environment and the principal, there are a couple of things which left us wondering.


1. There is currently only 1 class of geppers. Why are there so few gep girls who chose NYGH?
2. In the presentation, it was mentioned that at least 1 in 2 scored at least 3 H2 distinctions at A levels. My hubby thought this figure’s low coz we had the impression that the figure should be 60% or more.

60% is about 1 in 2, so at least 1 in 2 is correct

Comparatively, at least 1 in 2 Rafflesians scored at least 4 H2 distinctions at A Levels. More than 1 in 5 scored perfect University Admission Points. Also, 1 in 10 students were offered places in Oxford, Cambridge and Ivy League colleges before the release of the A Level results.

Hope this helps.

I asked my nephew who is in ACSI what he thinks of Nanyang vs RGS girls. His reply


Nanyang girls are cheena and dependent . Raffles girls are more adaptable and independent

Hi! new here. sorry to dig up a fairly old post, but as an old girl of NY now in jc I really want to clarify stuff.
the stereotype of ny gals being cheena came from the 'cheena' school culture, and in the past when most gals came from chinese speaking homes. but well, from observation most ny girls are certainly not so, esp since for years most come from english speaking families. Many (myself included)don't speak chinese except when necessary....
and from personal observation NY girls certainly arent more dependent than gals from other schs(other than rgs)...though I notice that the caring and nurturing environment in ny may result in less independent girls than rgs....it is NOT necessarily a bad thing. no offense, but 'I don't understand why women would want any of the things men have, when one thing women have is men!'-C. Chanel. and since when does a guy date/marry a girl cos she is adaptable and independent???
It WAS quite true that RI and ACS guys are more likely to date Rgs than ny girls in the past...cos years ago ny girls were more likely to be from chinese speaking families than rgs gals...and cos NYGH used to be very restrictive eg didn't even allow long hair. But things are changing. For one, I notice RI-NYGH is more common that most think...for instance one of my current teachers who is a NY old girl is married to a RI old boy...and in my case I get along better with ACSians and Josephians..haha
just my 2 cents' worth
