Raffles Girls' Primary

[popkorn]

Hi


I am an old girl and will like to send my daughter to RGPS. But currently staying at sengkang. Anyone parents staying at SK and sending their daughter to RGPS by school bus? How long is the bus journey?

I feel bad that she has to travel long distance to school. But on the same note, it is a good opportunity not to be wasted in sending her to a good primary school.

Also, has the alumni fee increased? Didnt recall that it is $500.

Yours is not considered far. I know of one who stayed in Punggol and the girl go to RGPS. Journey is very long.

But im still worry about the travelling time. Any SK mummy can advise? Moreover, when my daughter enters, it will be under single session.


Alternatively, i have to send her to nan chiau which is very nearby but need PV. And is so much harder to get in. 8:1 ratio.

Hi We are staying at SK and my P4 girl takes 1-way school bus in the afternoon. Actually the journey, if by car and leave before 6.30am, only takes about 20 min to Hillcrest.

However, understand that the morning school bus (mini van with a capacity of about 11 girls) has a few rounds to go after fetching RGPS girls, so the bus comes at very early hours. Exact pick-up time depends on which part of SK you stay, but typically before 5.50am.

We actually gave up the place at NCPS few years ago, but on hindsight, in view of the transport logistics, might not have made that decision.

Just hope that come P5/P6, there will be many days my girl needs to stay back in the afternoon, as the timing of the CCA bus at 4.30pm is another big headache.....They combine a few estates, e.g. Tampines, Simei with SK/Punggol for CCA bus trips.

Hi all, my dd just brought home this short course (4X 2-hr lessons) conducted by Trinity Workz in Speaking Verse and Prose - Entry Level for P1 kids, with exams from LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art). The course is $200 including exam fees. Has anyone send their kids before? Would appreciate your inputs.

Hi phtthp,

May I know of this AGM is open to non alumni member? Is the session only for mummies or can the DDs come along? I am an old girl of RGPS and have a DD going to P1 next year. I am still torn between registering her at RGPS or another school nearer my place at Bedok Reservoir. Will be great if both DD and myself can attend the school tour.
