after all, policies and rules are man made. Can be changed!

As far as this arrangement is concerned, RGPS stands to gain, RGS stands to lose. So if I were RGS' Board, I would say a firm NO.

Why bother with taking in lower affiliated students if the rest of Singapore's top girls is clambering to get in? Moreover the two schools have not been affiliated in so long there's no shared identity anymore.

Although RGS and RGPS are not affiliated, it's quite hard to remember they are not...they share the same name 'Raffles Girls' after all.

It's possible to get into RGPS - either based on P2A, P2B or P2C. But to get into the secondary school, the girls will need to score 260. I feel that some top schools should hold their stand, no affiliation.

Planning the scenarios should we not be successful in our application.
If let's say i fail to get a place in MGS in phase 2b (we live within 1km), which other Bukit Timah school can I try for in phase 2c ? Can I apply to MGS again in phase 2c ? Or in the worse case, put my girl in Bukit Timah Primary and then waitlist in all the other schools in the area, is this possible ?

If you live within 1km from mgs. Chances should be quite high. Don't worry.

Can apply for phase 2c in mgs as you stay within 1km. All the best.:)

If you are 1km from MGS, you may be 1km from Pei Hwa. It's a very gd and popular school too.

In my opinion, you shld monitor both school registration during the 2C application, whichever has the higher probability to get in, you should try for it.

If you're not successful for MGS in Phase 2B, you can try again for MGS in Phase 2C. You live within 1km, which means your chances are better than others living out of 1km.

Worst case scenario - yes, you can waitlist all schools in the area.
