[Central] Primary Schools

[Average Joe]

Hi, I had posted this in another thread before but thought of posting it here again…would anyone here be considering RVPS vs Radin Mas Primary? Both are traditionally popular schools in the south. RVPS seems to be stronger in Chinese (they offer HChinese) due to its roots but RMPS is also quite academically-focused. The student profile is also different given the location of the schools, with RMPS being more diverse generally. Happy to hear any mummy or daddy’s thoughts on these two schools. Thks in advance.

I just saw too that out of 200 vacancies in RVPS, there are already 100 children registered for Phase 1. We are planning to send our daughter there in 2017 but it looks like a pretty difficult school to get into…

Hi Divamama, you may wish to consider volunteering your time with the school (assuming the PV scheme is not abolished by then) in 2015/16. The school runs its PV scheme quite well, offering decent assignments (not those 1 hr-traffic warden-type) that will give you a good feel of the school activities, teachers and students. The school is also mindful of accepting too many PVs lest any PV end up being disappointed having completed the necessary hours.

Average Joe,

Have you decided which school to register? You may like to PM titank about these two schools. He's an expert.

Average Joe,


You may like to start reading from Pg 22 of the Bt Merah thread. A few forummers were comparing RMPS and RVPS then. Certain information may be out-dated, though.

Class Monitor,

Thank you for this. Recently, I had the opportunity to interact with teachers from both schools. I had the distinct feeling that the morale in one of them is lower than that of the other, due to the management style of the school. So while that school is nearer (<1km) vs 1-2km, I have my reservations now because I think happy teachers are more likely to produce happy students.

Hey thanks! I've applied for PV but have not heard from the school. Fingers crossed.

Also, it looks like RMPS is much more popular this year. I knew it is a popular school but balloting at this phase... :scared:
