Raffles Girls' Primary

The total number going around is twenty plus, closer to thirty, and it’s just based on what some parents gathered.
No ‘official’ figures ok?
RGPS seems to be quite discreet about this in a good way. No announcements, even congratulations are quiet, at least for my dd’s class. The form teacher handed out the first screening results outside the classroom and told the girls to be sensitive to others. The final results in the yellow envelope… She just called out the names that’s all. The rest of the class actually figured what the envelope was for themselves and congratulated the selected ones. Most importantly, nobody cried over this unlike some of the stories I read elsewhere on this forum.
Mrs Yue did not answer too when a parent asked the principals of GEP centres to reveal figures.
I’m quite happy that life is still normal, actually. -

Not possible with this figure. Last yr, less than 15 made it to GEP. Based on statistics, reputable schools will have abt 5-20.

Look, more girls qualified after the first screening this year. 14 from my dd’s class alone! 15 from another class I know of! A total of 90 plus students sat for the second selection test, according to some parents. I think the figure does add up somewhat, cos even the pupils are sharing similar numbers.
Anyway, I just wanted to help the moms trying to complete their option forms for GEP.
Let me repeat: NOT OFFICIAL until the school says so. -
Think it is thereabouts. Usually our own girls will make up about 1 class. Dd’s class alone had 15 clearing the screening. She said no less than 4 from her class cleared the selection. And about 27 in total made it through. Not sure how accurate her info is.

It is so common to have more than half the class to clear thru the 1st screening. For 2nd round, less than 8 of them in each class make it and I am talking about the best 3 classes. Both my children have gone thru and they are now in GEP currently. Thus, the statistics on this estimation is incorrect. -
Anyone knows if P4 girls need to go to school this Wednesday?

getting confused!!! I believed that there is about 8 P3 classes, and if there are 4 girls selected from a sample class, then there should be about 24 (assuming average of 3 per class) to 32 (assuming average of 4 per class) selected from the school. The calculation adds up.meekopeeko:

Elitelab says that if less than 8 of them in each class make it, then will there be 8 x 8 which is 64??? further confusion when it was mention from the best 3 classes? Is your child from RGPS? my gal is going P3 next year, but it is stated that P3 are all multi-talented ie, they get mixed up (=> the standard are similar) so will there be \"best 3 classes\"? Or perhaps I am told wrongly and the school does stream secretly (which i dont think so).....

Base on my DD's experience, RGPS will be not streaming until P4, there were not best 3 classes in P3. My DD's class got 8 girls clear the 1st round, and 3 of them went through the GEP test last year.meekopeeko:

Elitelab, are you sure you are from RGPS?
There are NO BEST 3 CLASSES at P3. Classes remain multi-talented and girls are only differentiated from P4 onwards. Other mommies, please verify.
