SOCIAL STUDIES

Thanks for your infor, titank.

Are you staying near this school?

Not near the school but evaluating it. The school is quite deep in & it is quite a distance to walk from the school gate to the nearest bus stop.

Quite a concern as next time they need to stay back perhaps for enrichment, ECA or remedial. Generally the school building is rather new as it was shifted from the old address to its present location.[/quote]
Thanks for your information.
I think they don't have studentcare. Maybe I can consider about Zhangde as 1st priorty.

So far the best primary school which is near Central area is Gan Eng Seng Pri. They have a student care centre inside the school which benefit those working parents.


ZhandDe also have a student care centre but the places also rather limited.The timing also at a disadvantage where pickup time is 4 or 5pm!

In fact I'm contemplating if I shd try my luck with RV... Based on what I heard, no complaints pertaining to their curriculum, students are well disciplined and becos of its location, it's akin to an informal international school due to having many overseas students. Anyone able to confirm this?


I shd have a place at Henry Park under 2A1. Thinking of registering at HP and then check out the vacancies available under 2C before deciding if I shd drop HP and take a shot at RV.

Can anyone provide the information on PSLE 2008 results on RSVP and Zhangde?

Are you staying more than 2Km from RVPS? Past balloting history showed that balloting more than 2Km at Phase 2C. Wish you good luck then.

Actually, I subscribe to another school of thought. I think it is only meaningful to do PV only for schools that you have a fighting chance to get in, ie. schools that are within the 1km or 2km radius to your home. It will be terrible to spend all that time doing PV only to find that you don't even get to ballot in Phase 2B.
