I hope that you are a SC living within 2km (or ideally 1km).
Balloting is typically conducted for SC within 2km.

I am staying at telok blangah cresent(within 1km) and intend to put my son there under phase 2C. anyone know whether within 1km need to ballot? i heard that balloting was conducted for those staying <2km.

I stay in Seng Kang. Have applied PR for my boys (tiger & dragon borns). Hubby & myself are PRs settled in Seng Kang. Looking for North Spring admission for my tiger boy. He'l be in P1 in 2017.

Dont know if there is any waiting list or PV for that school. I would like to put my son in Seng Kang primary or Rivervale Primary : but looks like they are popular schools, so my chances are next to nil! Never thought it was so stressful to get admissions for P1. Does anyone has any info on registrations for P1 in 2017. I was under an impression that I have one more year :sad: now looks like I'm too late for anything! :scared:

Hi All,


Need advise here.
I am currently staying in Pasir ris and I am old school girl of Pasir Ris Primary School.
I am purchasing an EC at punggol (within 2km from Mee Toh) which will only TOP end of 2017.

Not sure which school should I register my girl to.

Pasir Ris Primary, once we moved, the transport will be an issue as checked with the school’s school bus company. They don’t go to Punggol.

Mee toh primary school, afraid unable to get in. Heard from friend who stay within 1km also cannot get in.

Can I have some advise on this matter? Very headache now.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry one more question.


As mentioned I am purchasing an EC in Punggol which will TOP only end of 2017.
Can I use the purchasing document to register for school in Punggol or I need to physically stay in punggol then can register school in Punggol?

Thanks.

Well, you don't have a choice really since Mee Toh will ballot within 1km (likewise for most of the popular primary schools in Punggol).

Your new property is being built so you can use your Sales Agreement with the developer to apply for schools in Punggol (if using distance priority). You must move into the new property once TOP or before the kid ends P2. (For completed properties, must physically move in and change NRIC address to use the distance priority.)

Since you are moving to Punggol soon, maybe just apply Punggol schools and forget Pasir Ris? Quite troublesome to transfer and have your kid make new friends again. Besides Mee Toh, you can also consider CHIJ OLN if you don't mind the mission school environment.

No point going to Pasir Ris primary, since confirmed shift house to Punggol soon.

If Catholic, can enrol under CHIJ Our Lady of Nativity, under Phase 2B. Do well in P1/P2, then seek transfer to CHIJ Toa Payoh or St Nicholas, for affiliation to Secondary, have peace of mind.

Within the Catholic family of convent schools, it is easier to seek Transfer.
