"Sad to say parents weren't consulted abt the timing of the CCA, resulting in school bus arriving home as early as 430pm. Working parents wo helper are greatly inconvenienced. This issue will be escalated in due course. Urging all parents who are affected by this to voice out. Every voice counts."

"Just graduated this year :) Though the principal talks a lot on Friday morning(assembly, most ppl including me would moan):( i rly enjoyed my time there with my teachers and friends for 6 years . During the period of time right b4 PSLE and other exams , my teachers would support and encourage us . Whenever we have enquires they would always be happy to help us :) . My sister still has 2 years in rgps and she also has a lot of friends .Although i wished i just did a bit better for el but im still happy that all the help my chers gave helped me acheive better scores .1 wish plss i wish there was affiliation. TO THOSE PPL WHO THINK THAT BEING IN RGPS MEANS THAT UR SUPER SMART : STOP! there's a reason why we have foundation, pull out, normal ,gep , and higher mother tongue . it's to accommodate ur learning .the teachers are wonderful ^-^ .as long as u live near u can try ur luck and u will most likely enter Still k.i.t with my friends :) I rly love my grad rgps bear "
