Hi Vivian1107
We stay Jurong West, within 2km Rulang, seems like slim chance to get in. Our alternative school is West Grove which is within 1km.

I have a girl born in 2012 (dragon girl), already feeling anxious…


i have the option to put her in my alma mater which is like the 3rd popular school (based on number of applicants) or i can do pv in the #1 school (based on number of applicants) to be in phase 2b (within 1km).

So many things to worry, like wat if still need to ballot in phase 2b although past years all balloting in phase 2b are for more than 2km. Then worry dunno my daughter can take the stress mah if its a more popular school (more remedials etc).

Hi

Please don't overstress yourself, you have time on your side unlike those who are 2015 thread.

I will leave your ranking by popularity aside.

1. You have a choice under 2A (your old school or we can call it school A),
2. If you actually prefer another school (school B) and do not mind doing PV to get into the school B, you can apply for PV and assume you got accepted (we are taking out the equation on whether the school accept the application)
3. In the year of registration, say you apply under 2A for school A and got in, you can always apply only for School B when you are sure there is no balloting needed for you within 1km (chances are that it should not have balloting as you mentioned its only for >2km).

You also have ample time to find out if the culture of school B and the amount of workload and attend open house, if any. At the same time, you should know better of School A since you are from the school.

Being parents, we tend to worry too much about our children's future.

Hi,


Would like to join if its a active community member however the school we are aiming for does not fall under the GRC but falls under 1-2KM does it mean that we will have to apply under phrase 2C instead of 2b?

Thanks!

Eh, I think it's GRL - grassroots leader, not just member le.

Note that they had tweaked the rules a bit for kids registering in 2016 and later.

1. Parents have to be grassroots leaders for at least 2 years (last time 1 year).
2. They will get priority only in schools in the constituencies where they live (not where they choose to serve and where they live).

My prior understanding is that schools must fall under the GRC where they serve but the above (taken from Asiaone) seems to differ a bit. Parents who wish to use this route pls check directly with the GR - they know why parents come to volunteer, no big secret.

Hi,

Thanks! Then it will be diffcult for us as the school we are aiming for near us does not fall under the same GRC. Hence meaning we are not able to fall under phrase 2b when we register? As our place is new we just shifted in last year. Will the GRC has the list of primary school ?[/quote]

Hi,

If u are registering in 2017, U need to be confirmed as a GRL by 30/6/15 or 1/7/15.[/quote]


Hi,

I have a boy born in 2012, but wondering whether it is too late to sign up through the GRL route?
Please advise!

Hi . Would you take an almost guaranteed chance at a relatively popular neighbourhood school within 1 km under phase 2B or go for branded schools a distance away under phase 2C?

I have a rough idea which is better but didn’t want to regret not trying for the best for my girl .

Since the later is a branded, so you think you will stand a chance at P2C, given that the school is 'a distance away'? :scratchhead:
