Tulpen:
Once you get into Poi Ching under 2B, don't come out already.We’r going to register Poi Ching under Phase 2B but keen to monitor the situation at St Hilda under Phase 2C
As we are living within 1KM to St Hilda and we’r SC, what do u think of our chances?
Feeling stressed…any kind advise is appreciated
Poi Ching is a good school.
If compare Mainstream to Mainstream, Poi Ching do not lose out to St Hilda.
If you can, try to get hold of last few years' results, from both schools -
Only compare the Mainstream only.
Poi Ching Chinese standard is higher than St Hilda.
Poi Ching English & Maths PSLE results, do not lose out to St Hilda.
(Compare Mainstream only)
Only the 2 extra GEP classes at St Hilda enhance the school reputation slightly.
Otherwise, Poi Ching itself is already good.
After you enter Poi Ching, next time can transfer to St Hilda, if really want to.
But to withdraw from 2B and try your luck at 2C, far too risky, better avoid.
Unless you are not yet secured a seat in Poi Ching, then by all means try, because you got nothing to lose.
Actually there are parents who purposely shift houses, close to less than 1 km, from St Hilda.
Actually, not necessary.
Can go Poi Ching first.
Next time if child really offered P3 GEP, than later seek Transfer into St Hilda, or to Tao Nan, bec only 2 GEP schools, in the east.
In Tampines, Poi Ching and Gongshang are some of the better schools.
Tampines primary also catching up. -
Balloting was fast, within 30 mins settled… the 1 that withdrew from hpps was from phrase 1 not 2a1…

Hi
Can someone share their experience?
For monitoring of the number of applicants and their distance, is it easier to be in the school to ask or does the school update it on notice board or for the parents to check themselves? I would imagine if all the parents call, the school will not have time to entertain everyone and this is on top of the walk in parents.
Thanks! -
Better go down in person live in school, ESP. After 3 pm, on the last day of 2C.
If you can’t go, send a relative or friend go down, on your behalf, to help you.
Not all schools use white board, to update stats.
Many schools don’t bother.
If you dial in, the person pick up the call is not the P1 registration officer.
She may not release info, or say she does not have the latest updated info, etc. or she may say she is far from where the P1 registration counter is, ask you call back later.
Some schools if you dial in - phone line always engaged -

phtthp:
2C must wait for 2B to End first, check how many seats left from 2B, to carry forward into 2C, before 2C can start.zp1503:
For Phase 2C balloting, how does it goes? Example there is 20 places for 60 people. And this 60 people consists of those from 15 Phase 2B & 10 less than 1km etc etc.
So procedure is:
1. 15 Phase 2B straight in
2. 5 out of 10 less than 1km will get in
etc etc?? :siao:
Without informing us how many vacancies are left at end of 2B, we can't answer your question.
Because 2B comes before 2C.
Must wait for 2B to end first, then talk about 2C.
If you not sure, can refer to some examples worked out here
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissi ... llocation/
Oh, i'm quoting in a situation like Radin Mas which sure in Phase 2C will only have that reserved 20 seats for balloting.
Just want to prepare myself :nailbite:
I suppose there will be spill-over from Phase 2B to Phase 2C thus wanna know how then the balloting will be. But i think someone before this has already asked similar question. Now can only wait & see :xedfingers: -

St Hilda primary does not start Higher Chinese, until P4.
St Hilda P1 Chinese is normal Chinese, Just like any other neighborhood school.
In contrast, Poi Ching P1 Chinese standard is high, something like China students' Chinese standard, where they teach many more Chinese Character vocab words, not just teach hypy.
In fact, Poi Ching P1 and P2 Chinese standard, is even higher than Rgps P1 / P2 Chiness.
If you compare a P3 student from Poi Ching and St Hilda -
Chances are on average : the Poi Ching students' Chinese are much stronger than St Hilda students' Chinese.
Because foundation had been built up, since P1 Term 1.
In fact, once your Chinese is strong, you have an advantage.
Also, for P1/P2 English -
All schools use similar Stellar English workshts to teach grammar, vocab.
So, doesn't matter whether you go Poi Ching or St Hilda.
P1/P2 Maths -
Most use \"My Pals are Here\" workbook, to practise questions.
So, again, not much difference.
By the time all P3 sit for common GEP tests -
If your child is offered GEP, then go St Hilda.
But if you prefer SAP school, then choose Tao Nan.
Normally, P3 students staying in Tampines or Pasir Ris, will choose St Hilda, since near to them.
(For those offered GEP) -
