[Novena] Primary Schools

Personally as adaptable as kids are i find transfers in between school term very disruptive. I don’t wish to put my daughter through that. I rather just go for a fairly decent smps which is also a full school at the outset where there is an almost guaranteed chance of getting in at 2c even if you are more than 2km. Rather than the huge gamble with scgs. As by 2c supp without a doubt even the fair schools will be mopped up this time by PRs who don’t stand a chance with the branded schools.

I do not think the school will mark any parent/child for making a "last minute" registration. Not all parents are lucky to be able to take leave to register on the first day.

SMPS is also a good reasonable school. Thumbs up for character upbringing.

Also it has affiliation. Just for consideration.

Don't worry too much since you already have the back-up plan in place. All you can do now is to monitor the # closely and make a reasonable sound decision and choice during the registration phase. Good luck. :xedfingers:

Hello 2hotTohandle, are you within 1-2km of RGPS?? My friend said 1-2km for RGPS pretty good chance too as RGPS is surrounded by mostly landed ppty.

2hot to handle- In addition rgps is going to move to a temp site in 2 years time so may discourage some people to go for it. Put it into your back up list and see how it goes since you prefer all girls school.

Are you looking at co-ed or boy's school?

What about hong wen? It is a SAP school and is a co-ed school.

I am only suggesting as i do not know where you reside. Given a choice, i wouldn't choose BHPS. No offense to other parents.....as this is only my view. Pls don't slam me.
