[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

Can anyone recall, last year during 2C registration for That School, there’s a white board which showed the number of registrants.


Did the school showed the breakdown of no. of applicants in each distance?
eg. 69 <1 km

i wonder if this contributes to the value of the house (be it for rental or resale).. :please:

I have same thought as you. now looking for the hse there. so pricey man....[/quote]

I have entertained the idea of renting out my current flat and renting a smaller apartment near the school, but it is still a sizeable net outlay.

[quote=\"kjh\"]hi, classmonitor, I like u thinking, we do have the same thinking, but.......is very risky la! thinking......if unlucky, need to go for 2cs which is limited schools available and limited places! furthermore need to take leave and monitor any minute here and there. o! very headache la!

Yar Hor !! Anything is also possible. ( Brazil also can lose to Germany 1:7 right ? ).

Ehm.. I am also within 1 km of RM... I shall wait till the eleventh of the eleventh hour to make my choice by looking at the eleventh hour odds.

ya la! broke the record 1:7...... alamat!!:mad:
o....last second of registration is the most excited one!
\"wait to last second\" is the phase that I heard almost every day recently, my friends, my son's classmates' parents.... :slapshead:[/quote]Haha.. I actually do not think you should wait till the last minute. Since u r very sure RM is your first choice, you should register it on the 1st day so as to \" scare other people off \". You then can monitor the situation till the afternoon of the 3rd day and if the odds are too much for you to take ( too many risk takers within 1 km ), you then can withdraw and register at somewhere else.

By the way, withdrawal is free of charge.

try to look for a white board in the school office when u register, u maybe able to spot the no. of applicants and their reference distance. this will let u have a rough idea of the chance u may have..... :rubhands:

Yes they do but only sgp and pr.... no distance and its quite nerve whecking and yet exciting at same time..... everyone will wait eagerly for updates

Last minute registration is simply too risky.

My friend did that last year. She went on the last day after 3pm thinking she got a good chance for this particular school (she was looking at several schs. Weighing her chances) By the time she decided, went to sch, submitted her application, was rejected on the spot due to overwhelming response. She had no time to go to another school.
She ended in p2cs.

If the board does not have breakdown, it will be v risky to execute the ‘register at the eleventh hour eleventh minute’ game.

No doubt it was risky but so long you are not the outside 2km category, i think the risk is more or less contained for these few inital years. It was a mad rush and nail biting for me then as I was outside 2km category..... I was only able to breathe easy when the final update shows that all sgp mged to squeeze in..... feels better than winning the world cup!!!!! Haha
