Phase 2C - you effectively have only 1 option out of the 3 listed: number 3.

You probably won't even get to ballot for 1 and 2 based on your distance, so don't have to think about it.

Actually if your child is good, he/she will go to the good class. If your child is average, then he will go to an average class. All schools are the same. They will concentrate the better ones. Radin Mas, River Valley are good school. Goods doesn’t mean all student are good. They have foundation students as well. Zhangde an average school but they managed to have a student score 271 last year… Fan Eng Seng Primary also scored higher than Radin Mas. Radin Mas last year highest was 25x. So conclusion, every schools is good school.

Thanks for the advise. Will think about it and find out more about cantonment primary school.

Hi Teap,

tik Alexandar Pri also out of 2km(last year we within 2km also need ballot and ratio is like 3.6 pp going for 1 seat - and we’re very lucky to get in).

Pls use "onemap" under "school query" key-in your postal code and check which are within 1km and 2km. Thanks.
