Hi!!! I am newbie to this forum and would like to join as an official KS mom. My son is born in 2008 and we are Singapore PR from Tampines.


I stay within 1km of White Sands Primary School in Pasir Ris and have been accepted as PV. I am also KS like many since I am not a citizen and I know my queue number is after citizens have secured their place first. Hence, I PV even I stay within 1km hoping for higher chance to get in under Ph2B.

My question might be sensitive to some but I would still like to check how’s the environment for those who is familiar with WS as well the ratio of Chinese students vs. Malays. Is it true there are a lot of Malays in WS than Chinese students?

Thanks in advance.

It's quite apparent that you're not Singaporean as it shows in the fact that you brought up such a sensitive question about race. For SCs, we consider many other factors before we come down to look at the racial distribution in a school. Because, we are ultimately Singaporean first, race second.


As for your question, this is Singapore, there's no such school where there are more Malay pupils than Chinese pupils in it. The national percentage per race alone is telling enough that the majority race is always the majority in any school.

However, if you prefer a school with close to 100% of the majority race in it, you should consider SAP schools instead. There's one in Tampines. You should forgo the WSPS.

Hi,

Any one knows whether whitesands primary offers taekwondo as cca?? I stay within 1km of wsps. However, am looking for more hollistic rather than academically inclined school. Deciding between parkview and whitesands. Any feedback on whitesands primary??
