I would be grateful for feedback from parents with kids who have studied or are currently studying at RVPS. How are the academics and CCA? What is the standard of mother tongue (Chinese) at the school?

Would love to hear from parents how kellock and river valley compare in terms of:

- inculcating values
- academics
- all-roundedness
- school physical environment
- happiness of the child 🙂

Grateful for any input or discussion since it’d be a good 6 years of their formative years!

Hi, with the most recent changes to p1 registration next year, may I ask what the chances are for Phase 2A, SC >2km? If we get balloted out at Phase 2A, we only have Kellock, Radin Mas, Zhangde, GES within 1-2km. Would be great to hear your views on next best choice (for a daughter).
Although 2A might need balloting for >2km, chances are still very high. 2C can go for Kellock, sure in.

Hello parents,

Could anyone advise where I could obtain the wait list form to transfer my P1 kid from her current school to River Valley primary school?

Thank you.

FW
Google River Valley primary school website, check if the Transfer Wait-list Application Form, is there ?

If absent,
contact General Office, ask them to email you the Application form

May I know more about the construction situation at RVPS? Whether it affects the kids and also how long will that be until? Either the Thomson line tunneling or the Avenir construction? Any other construction we should know about?

Also, is there another channel where parents chat about RVPS? This thread is quite quiet. Appreciate hearing from any kind parent!

From what I saw, there are quite a number of students attend the school’s compound student care every year. It is not under school management and privately manage by outside operator.

I heard some parents who send their kids to the student care nearby. It’s called My Childhood Place Education Center Pte Ltd, 9666 8451. They are satisfied with the centre in terms of guiding hw, food, nap and play time.

Hope this info helps.

Hi all, anybody has any experience/review on the afterschool care at River Valley Primary? How is the experience? How is it compared to some of the other external afterschool care center closely? Appreciate any insight. Thanks a lot!

My son is having his graduation rehearsal that day and will have to miss the orientation. I’m wondering if most of you are facing the same situation since 20nov is the last day of their preschool?

Hi libran269,

Currently, I have 2 children in RVPS. Elder one is sitting for PSLE now, last paper will be next wed (HMT), thus PSLE Results 2020 will only release in late Nov 2020. 🙂

According to P, last year PSLE batch was the best cohort with 20% scored 250 n above. About 85 or 88% went into express stream.

However, hope this year batch performs even better than last year batch.

Nearby Alps heard is good too.[/quote]
Thank You Magic Unicorn

Not every school has an alumni association that you can join to get into Phase 2A1. Therefore some schools only have Phase 2A2 for former students.[/quote]
2A1 also includes member of the Advisory or Management Committee

i mean ppl say might not be true so its better to check with you all who are in the school can give more feedback so i can understand the school better.

My husband's friend said alps got a good principle, new school with new facilities. rvps has a condo project going on right next to its campus which could take 3-4 years to complete(Avenir?), i'm a bit worried about the noise and dust but my place is nearer to rvps.
Also struggling to decide which one i should go for...

What has changed after the new principle? Any idea how was the PSLE results for 2020? Any advise will be helpful as I am considering transfer as we could move near the school. Thanks a tonne

yes i also read up the ALPS principal came from Maha Bodhi which is a good pri school in the east side whereas the RVPS principal came from Bebok Green. Also some of my friends in this area also said that ALPS is quite good so i might just take ALPS since it also much nearer.[/quote]I just took a look at the latest vacancies and ballot history, both rvps and alps will have much less quota for 2C. Also the PI-IS and Online form submission running in parallel but with different ending dates this year, makes the 2C game real complicated..good luck to all of us!
