This morning, we took PIE (towards city). The traffic was slow at Stevens Road exit (@6.55am). Quite smooth after SJI/SCGS but need to wait for about 2-3 traffic lights before can turn right onto Anderson Road. Managed to drop off my dd @ 7.10am.Hi, for those who drove- may I know how is the traffic conditions along Anderson Road/Stevens Road this wet morning to RGS? Kindly advise.
Which are the timings to avoid? TIA -

This morning the traffic was ok along Steven Road (both side), around 6.50am. Alight DD at the bus stop before turning into Anderson Road. There is a queue along Anderson Road (turning into the school). -

Heard that the child of a neighbour, with a COP of 261 but no other special talent, was able to successfully appeal for a transfer to RGS. Just wondering what's happening - what's the point of setting a high COP only to admit students who don't make the cut? How is that fair to students who strove very hard to earn a high COP?
Appeal is ok whether you want to try or not. Even if my kid scored 258, i will also appeal. Try my luck. At least my kids see their parents try their best to give them the best. The sch doesnot want to accept, never mind. Try again in Y2.

HiHi everyone, would like to check my chances for getting into these ccas:
Tennis: school team but reserve
Bowling: play with family, not too bad but always below 100 points
Badminton and table tennis: know the basics
Choir: no prior experience but was selected for something idk what
Shooting and archery: interested but no prior experience but know basic
Netball: I'm quite tall and I played interclass this year
Softball: played before as the person who bats
(Don't count merits)
I prefer racquet and ball sports
Appreciate anyone's help
happy new year in advance! 
I'm a current y2 from rgs
About your chances of getting into the ccas,
Tennis: my friend (also Y2) managed to get into tennis cca even tho she wasn't even in tennis school team in primary school, so I should think u stand a chance of getting in. Just go for the trials, I heard its mostly basic stuff like groundstrokes, serves, etc. however, apparently they're only accepting one Y1 this year as they have already accepted many DSA tennis people, so it should be harder this year
Bowling: I'm not too sure about this (sorry!!!) but since u don't have any 'experience' (eg competitions etc.) in this cca (apart from playing with ur family), it should be harder to get in But if u really want this cca, no harm trying!
Badminton / Table tennis: These ccas are really competitive & hard to get in (from what I've heard)! Only about 1-3 people got in for my year anyway Even someone (my classmate) who was in the badminton sch team in primary school couldn't get in... so yea it should be pretty difficult for u
Choir: U dont really need much experience to join choir, just as long as u can sing I know someone who got into choir with, like, zero experience so u have a fair chance of getting in 
Shooting: Most people don't have any experience in this at all so if u know the basics, that's already pretty good anyway, they'll basically let u shoot with the air pistol & rifle and then test your balance (I went for trials).
(Btw, I thought RGS doesn't have an archery cca? At least they didn't have for my year...)
Netball: if ur tall, that's an advantage (they want tall ppl haha) and if you've played for interclass before, that's good too cos then u have experience. U have quite a fair chance (I think) so u should definitely try out if u want to join
Softball: you have quite a high chance of getting in since u have experience in batting They accept many people and I know a lot of people with no experience in softball who got in
Anyway, hope that helped and GOOD LUCK
