Hi parents, I am new to the forum,am gig to enrol my gal for p1 next yr.

Any review for radio mas n zhangde ?
I am in a dilemma which one to go for
Radin mas- within 1km but wil be under phrase 2c
Zhangde -under 2a (alumni)
Thks

In that case with Phase 2A with Zhangde Pri is confirm entry vs Radin Mas Phase 2C in which you would need to ballot.

Better go for a sure win case.

safer to stick to your alumni 2A (zhangde)

Why risk balloting in Phase 2C (Radin Mas) ?
Balloting can run either way, depending on direction of luck, on the actual balloting day itself.

If want, after enter zhangde, then slowly seek transfer to radin mas, a safer road, than just ballot like that

Based on past years' P1 Registration results -
If fail to ballot in 2C, the schools left available in 2C Supp are :-
Blangah rise, Cantonment, Gan Eng Seng primary.

Hi, I’m new in this forum. I’ll be registering my girl for 2016 P1. I have shortlisted 2 schools, Alexandra and CHIJ Kellock. There are pros and cons and I am in a dilemma on which to choose.


Alexandra is a new school, so far with good feedback that I’ve hear. It is popular in our area.

CHIJ is a girls school, not so popular. There is less distraction in a girls school. Managed to do a visit and the girls are very well-mannered. The school is somehow quite old. Also there’s affiliation to St Teresa Convent. Yet to check out more thou I heard not so good. They are doing reno for 2 years from 2017. It will be a distraction to move to another school.

For parents with girls, which do you choose?

My humble comments....

Actually from what I read, u seems already have a preference for kellock and know u want ur kid to go there. You can ignore the affiliation link and send your kid to other sec schools next time. You can decide on that later on in 6 yrs time. Still a long way......

And btw, kellock is not \"not so popular\". It is quite a hot school in BM area as well cos its the only convent CHIJ school in this area.

Cheers

Hi,

Personally distance is a vital point for me. If you are able to join Alexandra and is nearer to you, you should go for it. Kellock had a change of principal in 2014 and she is really focused on their academics but like what you had mentioned, they will be shifting to a temp location for 2 years. If you don't mind, you can choose this school coz there's affiliation which makes PSLE less stressful. It's all up to individual's preferences.

The key question is:
How far do you live from both schools? Distance may preclude you from selection, unless you have the intention to shift with these few weeks.

If you are a risk taker then you may wanna try Radin Mas, if not then the safest bet will be Zhangde. Otherwise you can enrol Zhangde first and monitor the take up rate for within 1 km in Radin Mas during phase 2C. You can withdraw from Zhangde if you wanna to take the chance at Radin Mas later. Just my two cents worth of opinion.
