Personal Device for Learning Programme (PDLP)

MOE had announced that every secondary student will need to have a personal digital device for the purpose of learning.

Parents are advised not to purchase digital device at the moment and wait for the announcement for the PDLP offer. Should there be an urgent need for a digital device, parents can consider purchasing a Windows based secondhand device.  Otherwise, the student can also loan out a laptop from the school (subject to availability).

Appeal for School Transfer (Primary 6 Students)

Primary 6 students who have applied to River Valley High School (RVHS) during MOE’s Secondary 1 Posting Exercise but are unsuccessful, may appeal to be considered for transfer to RVHS. These students appealing for admission to RVHS after the release of the Secondary 1 Posting result have to meet the school’s cut-off points (COP).

Note that students admitted to a school through the DSA-Sec Exercise will not be allowed to transfer to another school after the release of the PSLE results. They are expected to honour the commitment to the posted DSA school for the duration of the programme admitted to.

The appeal application period is from the 20 to 27 December 2024, 1700hours.

Late or incomplete appeal will not be considered.

Application is to be done strictly via this form.

For your convenience, it is not necessary to submit any hardcopy appeal form personally.  Students who are successful in their appeals will need to provide us with the actual documents which they have used to support their appeal for checking purpose when school re-opens.

Pending the outcome of appeal, all applicants are required to report to the school that they are posted to by the Ministry of Education on Secondary 1 Registration Day.

Successful applicants will be informed by 30 December 2024.

The decision of the school’s Admissions Committee is final, and the school will not enter into discussion with the applicants regarding its decision.

Thank you.
