[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[Fi fi]

Hi, I’m going for APS for my girl. same as japheng, am scouting around for SC externally since APS is not having one at this moment.

Any of you heard of Top mark student care at Meiling st.? Any comment?

U could register your BASC concern with the APS. They will open BASC if there is a need (according to their website).


Anyone can advise if outside 2km stands a chance if register at APS?

If you are a SC, your chance is still higher than PR staying less than 1km like me

may i know if any SC parents are applying for Alexandra primary?


tomorrow's the registration and i'm still wondering if i'm doing the right decision if I put my child there vs an \"old school\" (like new town)

=(

I'm not since I have already secured a place under 2b phase but I will go for APS if I'm in phase 2c. Reason being, smaller cohort, better attention from teachers, no 'bad' seniors to learn 'bad' habits from (this is what my friend told me.....haha).


I would think the differences between APS and other 'older' schools around that area to be marginal, so convenience scores.

Thanks. Was thinking the same thing except whether they will be lonely since no seniors...

Hi,
I am also contemplating between APS and CPS. But chances are we may just go for APS as it is a new school, and like what \"bluemoon\" says, smaller group, better attention, lesser bad influence, etc. The only concern is the BASC as at the present moment, we have no idea if the school will be starting one so soon. So gotta find BASC externally as I am a working mum.

They did mention they will start if theres a demand though not sure when...

I am trying too even though i stay more than 2km. But since there are so many seats should be pretty safe.

My PV submission \"bo toh\" for RMPs even both of us are Civil Servants and willingly to contribute as much as we can; we even wrote proposal + CVs etc as if job interview :o( ... maybe too competitive ?


N really bo bian is tat d feeling is like \"u r sentence to death n yet dun knw wat yr crime was\" !! as their email said \"... Kindly refer to the Terms and Condition for the Parent Volunteer Scheme under Para 6 that the school will not be able share the reasons for non-selection. The school’s decision is final and we will not entertain any appeals ...\"

Pls advice the following :-
- as my mum lives at Bt Purmei -> can I use Caretaker phase instead - wat phase will tat be ? As now too disheartening n MOE website din really says ...

- may consider AP(within 1-2km) or shd I still try phase 2C for RMPS ? TIA for all your advice !!

I was also rejected even though I volunteered for almost everything except landscaping.
