Raffles Girls' Primary

Publica:
a)
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.
I’d checked with the organizing committee.
The committee replied that the alumni events are for :-
alumni members who had paid and registered with us.
Alumni parents registering their little K2s forthcoming July 2013 can bring their K2 daughter(s) along, familiarize with the school.
While parents listen to Principal’s briefing, K2 children will sit at the back - given worksheets to color & draw.
There’ll be teachers & Upper primary school pupils assigned on duty to help look after these K2 girls, keep them meaningfully occupied, while parents listen to P intently.
After P briefing, they’ll bring parents for a tour round the entire school - to familiarize with the school environment.
Children can follow their parents around, take a look at the classroom & other school facilities.
Buffet lunch is served around 11.30 am.
b)
Registration dates for this year 2013 exercise would be similar to last year's .

Update on the 2013 exercise will be available at MOE website in June 2013.
I suggest you enrol your K2 daughter into Phase 2A(2) first, sometime end 2nd week July 2013. Then monitor Phase 2C closely.
If you are considering Bedok Red Swastika (RSS) - even Singapore citizenship children need to ballot, within 1km. Many Bedok parents (both SC and PR) desire RSS very much.
If balloting is high risk - safer to stay put at RGPS.
Then queue up seek transfer into RSS (in case some child withdraw), once Phase 2C end.
By end of Phase 2C, RSS will be full house (100% occupancy).
If you fail to ballot into RSS successfully at Phase 2C, you’ll be thrown into next Phase, 2C Supplementary …
But if you are not even staying within 1 km from RSS, then no need to think about RSS.
If you’re concerned about long distance travel next 2 yrs from Bedok to Holland (Jan 2014 – Nov 2015 temporary occupancy) , may I suggest you shift nearer to Holland, so that your daughter is not so tired ?
perhaps rent a house in Ghim Moh, and in turn rent out your Bedok house ? There are many parents doing this; it’s a growing trend nowadays.
This can also help you cut down the expensive school bus fees to and fro charged, from Bedok to Holland. It may cost you > $200 (sch bus fees).
example :-
i) parents staying in Woodlands rent a house in Bishan to be closer to their Catholic High alma mater, and who in turn rent out their Woodlands flat to PR children (from Malaysia) studying in primary schools in Woodlands area.
ii) parents staying in Bishan fail to ballot into highly desired Ai Tong / Catholic High rent out their Bishan flats, and who in turn rent another place closer to their alma mater, somewhere else far away from Bishan. They’ll keep their precious Bishan flat (won’t sell), in case their children grow up enter into RI / RGSS / RJC one fine day, come Secondary 1 till “A” level JC.
iii) due to next 2 years temporary occupancy at Holland -
those affected RGPS parents may also consider shift nearer – especially. those sitting for PSLE 2014 and PSLE 2015.
Or those pupils staying faraway affected areas like Ang Mo Kio, Yishun, Sembawang, Marsiling, Admiralty, Woodlands, Bedok, Marine Parade, Tampines, Pasir Ris, etc.
dear Publica,
I just pm you. -

dear Publica,
I just pm you.
Thanks so much for your reply. I've replied your pm. -
dear Publica,
i’d helped you inquire school bus for Bedok Reservoir, so that you can get some idea.
Currently, one school bus pick up one lower primary school girl staying at Block 762, Bedok Reservoir View. School bus pick her up around 11.30 am, she reach home around 7.20 pm. School bus fee is $ 200 / month.
For P1 / P2, the school hours are :-
12.50 pm - 6.30 pm
Forward journey to school is by a big school bus, about 30 (P1 / P2) pupils. Besides Bedok pupils, this school bus also pick up pupils staying in Tampines. But the backward journey home is by a small mini van, about 10 girls. Some kids stay in Pasir Ris. If you want more detail, can contact Mr Lim (sch bus driver for Bedok). I’d pm you his hp.
but for next year 2014 to Holland - not sure if Mr Lim going to be driver for Bedok, or someone else instead. -
