Hi titank

Saw that you consider River Valley as a choice. I went to the schoold today. For P1 they run in the afternoon while P2 to P6 are in the morning. I also understand from them that they started balleting under phase 2C last year. So all he earlier phases secures a place.

2012 P1 Registration Balloting Statistics (SC<1km, 1km<SC<2km, SC>2km, PR<1km, 1km<PR<2km, PR>2km)

Hi! Is there phase 2A1 for RVPS? I was made to understand that RVPS does not have an alumni association thus all alumni will apply under phase 2A2. Is this still the case? Thanks!
Below is a link for application form.

Thank you for ur advice, firstda OCD & phtthp.


I'll monitor and call the school to ask the breakdown on last day. Hope that they will entertain call 🙂
Like what most ppl said, this year is a dragon yr and it's very competitive, really dont know if there will be 'surprises'
if St Margaret had been a co-ed school, there might be \"surprises\".

However, since St Margaret is an \"All-Girls\" school : with 2.9 classes left, still quite a lot of seats left, SC staying (1 to 2 km) should be safe.

Moreover,

a)
some parents may not choose St Margaret this year, because they do not like the 2 years temporary shift location at Macpherson primary.

b)
some parents may be diverted to ballot at Rgps direction, try their luck instead, as there are more vacancies left there (114 vac) vs. St Margart (88 vac).

And also, this year MOE had provided many more readily available back-up schools under 2C Supp. So, parents (with girls) do not mind balloting at 2C.

Anyway, continue to monitor situation closely on last day of 2C after 2.45 pm and action accordingly, to situation. All the very best to your daughter 🙂

Hi Parents,

I will like to seek your advice.
What will be the chance of st. margaret going into balloting for SC staying within 1-2km this year? We are considering to register for my gal. Thank you in advance.
Phase 2C : St Margaret primary, is now left with 88 vacancies

https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies#Central


one P1 class size is 30

take (88 / 30) equal 2.9 classes left for students, to come in. That's a lot !

forsee balloting for SC > 2 km, at Phase 2C (St Margaret), this year, on Wednesday (8 August 2018)

Rgps, is left with 114 vacancies, more vacancies than 88 (St margaret).

The chance will be good based on previous yrs (2014 to 2017) of historical records. All SCs are accepted & PRs have to ballot.
U can take a look at https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/central/

Do take note SMPS will move to MacPherson Pri in 2020 & 2021 due to major upgradings & reno.

Most likely there will be balloting within 1-2km this year. You can call the school on the last day of the registration to find out the numbers. Then you can make the decision.

In addition to the current condo construction in front of the school, pacific mansion is enbloc and demolition is going to start real soon.


I am ok with loud noises (I believe there are guidelines to minimise disturbance to the school) but dust and mosquitoes may be hard to control. I have made a temporary shift out last time when there’s new condo development in front of my place. The spread of dengue and mozzie bites are so intolerable, we kept windows close, uses spread and stick on mozzie patches. These construction will last for the next 3-4 years.

And also the student care in pacific mansion is closed due to the enbloc. Any other recommendations around Orchard or RV? Anyone knows if the RV school bus serves Newton area? Thanks in advance
