[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[desperatemummy]

Dear all experienced mummies and forumers,


I’m a clueless mum hoping to get some help on registration P1 for my girl. She is in K2 now and is a SPR. I didn’t manage to do any preparation for her so we would fall into Phase 2C or 2CS.

Gan Eng Seng PS is right downstaire my block, but I have concern putting my girl here. She is quite boyish and very easily influenced by her friends so I hope to put her in a school where the student manner is relatively better than GES (based on my observation). So GES would be my last choice even though it’s really convenient to put her there (we have no car).

My next choice would be the new Alexandra PM. Below are my questions:

- Any higher chance if my house is <1km vs <2km from the school?
- I plan to do an online registration for the school. I see that the registration timing is starting from 9.00 am on 29 July 2013 to 4.30 pm on 31 July 2013.
Is this like first come first serve, means if I register at 9pm 29 Jul my chance is higher than 4.30pm on 31 Jul?
- Where can we find more info about this school? Like class size, vacancy, school focus, etc…

My next choice would be New Town or Zhangde school, and I dont really know which one is more suitable. PSLE result is an indicator but I think it also depend on individual and the luck if get a good teacher. So if anyone can share info with me on these 2 schools, I would be very grateful.

Thanks so much!

Hello desperatemummy
APS has no information at this moment at all...i have called MOE but have no details. Uner Phase 2C 1km will have higher chance than 2km or more

APS is one of my choice. But forsee it is going to be hot! I’ve signed up as PV at another school so that I have back up option!

For parents who wish to find out more about APS, you may refer to their website:

Thank you for your response.


Any mum here got girl attending GES school and find it’s generally okay?

Would you advise that I register my girl for GES instead of taking the risk for new school at Alexandra?

I think my change of getting in GES is very high compare to APS since I stay less than 500m to the GES?

[almondjelly]

Same here, would like to hear from parents about GES too ! I read from the school’s website that they offer quite good initiatives and activities for the children. I miss the Learning Fiesta held during April. Anyone knows if GES will be holding any talks for the P1 registration?

Hi Hi QMS

For RMPS, we are under 1 - 2km... APS, no idea coz it's not reflected on OneMap.
