Hi I’d like to hear from those who are current EM of RC/NC, how many hours of work per week/month you need to contribute on average? Thanks.

Hi I read in the forum that you can get into phase 2B if you get a letter from a pastor? I would like to know how that works. Could anyone who has done this before share their experiences? Thanks.

Hi I'm a newbie here considering sending my gal to RGPS pls bear with my questions.

1. I read that RGPS is not affiliated to Raffles Girls Secondary can anyone pls confirm?
2. Is that why RGPS is not as popular as other top schools like Nanyang Primary?
3. Can anyone explain how does affiliation works? What kind of priority students from affiliated primary sch enjoy when enrolling for secondary school?
4. Parents pls share your experience about RGPS in terms of teaching style, culture, students characteristics etc.

Thanks.

Hi welcome ! To answer ur questions :

1. Yes, RGPS is NOT affliated to RGSS.

2. I would say it is not as popular for this reason as compared to MGS and SCGS. NYPS is co-ed hence u cant compare their popularity based on afflilation only.

3. Students from affliated pri schools get to enrol in the affliated secondary schools with a lower cut-off point. Eg if non-affliated students need 260 points to go into a particular school after PSLE, then affliated students may need 250 or so. This differs among individual schools. In some cases the difference they enjoy is quite little only, I heard, like the case of NYPS to NYGH.

4. This is a subjective question haha... I cant really answer as I am not a very 'hands-on' type of parent

Thanks for your answers Luanee. Where can I find more information about question no.3? i.e. which schools offer lower cut-off point for affiliated students and how much is the difference?

Hi Chief I read in the brochure that schoolhouse by the bay has expat native english teachers. i wonder if all levels & classes are taught by these expat teachers? My husband & I would like our 18 months old daughter to learn proper english so this is a big attraction for us.

hi i’d like to send my daughter to pat’s claymore as it’s closest to our home. any comments about this particular branch? thanks.

Hi my daughter is 17 months old and I’m planning to send her to N1 next year. Do I need to register for her now? Any recommendation for good pre-schools in the area? Are those branded schools such as chiltern house, Pat’s schoolhouse & Brighton Montessori really good and worth paying for? Please share your experiences. Thanks.

My daughter just turned 1 year old last week and I'd like to send her to some sort of school for learning. Please recommend a good one in the east (near bayshore road)
