Thanks, assume (big one) then that chances are relatively decent long as we live close (ish)

It has become more popular in recent years, so <1km then probably safe for sure in or good chance to ballot

If you are told it’s a good school, probably you should just go for it.

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...

Hi there may I know if higher Chinese is a must or is it optional?


Also is RVPS very academic focus or do they focus on other activities such as sports, dancing, ballet etc?

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.

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!

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
