yes single session next year.


From phase 2C result, this school has to work harder in order to stay competitive.
So many schools are catching up.

Applicants for phase 2c is 147 for abt 71seats. This time Only Singapore citizens within 1km are encouraged to register for balloting as the chance of outside 1km is equi zero.

Agreed! their lower primary foundation is not strong enuff, hardly any homework

What are the chances for staying within 1km for this school?

[gloyt]

All 1 km also need to ballot, year after year. Chances depend on applicants that yr. this yr onwards is gd cos sing citizens got priority when there is a need to ballot.


My child chance was 30 % 3 yrs ago 180 applicants for 63 seats.

[wiser]

After today balloting ...


My heart stopped after seeing that my number was not called out.


And yet next choice Compassvale is open for PR balloting within 1km.(also full) :scared:

I dun know which school to go next :sad:

Within my 1km range :

Only choice is Sk primary or north spring.
North spring is near to me than Sk primary
But ..... I still need some help too

If u are in lower pri, dun complain. Enjoy ur honey moon. Wait till u are in P 3 or 4 onwards. Then u hope there is no hw
MOE calls is to give Lower pri a slow start to adjust.
But my feeling is, although not much hw , u must drill ur child at home for regular revision. Their CA n Exam papers are not easy hor. Purposely meant to stretch n expose the riverlites

This school focus only on upper primary like p5/p6 and expect gd results, well arent its abit too late

The school teaches less and expect parents to revise closely, which most working parent faced difficulty and thats y most ppl in spore had to go to tution cos schools are not doing gd enuff.
Plus i dun see such pattern for some other primary school, where their lower pri foundation were gd and gave reasonable amt of hw.

Btw, the school reads this forum n tried to ask students to tell parents not to post here
As im working and only appreciate the distance for the caregiver

RVPS been running in old school style for too long. It is time to learn from the new generation schools. If the school is reading this forum, please review. Stopping comment is not a solution.
