[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[vfong1]

I’m thinking of enroling my boy to Radin Mas and my girl to CHIJ Kellock. I’m not sure if they have student care in their schools. Or, should I just go for ZhangDe which is within 1km from my house but I’m a bit concern on this school PSLE performance.


I’ve visited River Valley and I find their school ok but quite a distance to walk from bus stop to the school.

Please give some advises.

Hi

My understanding is that only Gan Eng Seng & ZhangDe has student care in the premises

Now I’m considering wither RM or ZD. Any of your friend’s kids from ZD?


I will need to drop by at their premises to view it.

Titank, I’m also considering RVPS and RMPS. I will qualify for phase 2A2 for RVPS but will be under phase 2C for RMPS (within 1 km).


It’s quite a difficult decision to make … Like wat some of us have found out, RVPS has newer environment but not so accessible (a consideration when our kids need to stay back for CCAs).

For RMPS, the school looks very old but seems to have good PSLE result. To some folks, RM sounds like a Malay neighbourhood school (like Mas Selamat), RV sounds like a Chinese-focused school.

My situation looks favorable for both schools but still, when there’s a choice of school, tend to torn between…

I’m also seeking more info on RV & RM. Anyone with kids from RV & RM ? Care to share your child’s experience ?

Sigh… If the 2 schools are very near to each other then we don’t have to be so headache.


Is RM easily accessible by bus?

RM is next to the road and accessible by bus.

Hi Chipmunks!


I have a friend whose sons are in Radin Mas (Pri 1 & 6), but she seems to think that River Valley is a much better school than Radin Mas, in terms of academic performance and environment.

By the way, how far is River Valley from your house, since Radin Mas is within 1 km from where you stay?

qms, RV is more than 2 km from my house. So definitely have to depend on school bus. From stats published so far. RM doesn't seem too bad in academic performance ..... Environment else, yes, I also agree school is too old....

Hi Chipmunks!


My friend has been encouraging me to send my kids to River Valley, even though her sons are in Radin Mas. She sent her sons to Radin Mas out of convenience. She used her parents’ address to register her eldest son (grandparents as caregiver), and the second one just naturally went to Radin Mas.

I visited Radin Mas, and yes, agree with you that the school premise is really old.

qms, did your fren mention any other reason why RV is being preferred, and not RM (other than academic performance) ?
