Hi,


I need some advise here. Hubby came from st.hildas primary school. Currently staying with in laws at woodlands. Any recommendation for woodlands school? What do u all think about the child traveling from woodlands to tampines daily.

Put yourself in the position of your child. Can you take the travelling and time spent on the school bus to and fro Woodlands and Tampines? My advice is enrol in a nearby school. The real challenge comes when your child is in P3 to P6. More homework, longer time in school due to extra lessons or CCA. Why not focus on a nearby school and just let your child blossom in the school. It will be a bonus if your child can enter the P3 (HA) class.
HA (High-ability)

Hi,

Would appreciate some advise.
My DD is registering this year for next year’s P1. We are deliberating between Radin Mas Primary and Tao Nan. We live within 1km of RMPS, but one of us is an alumni of TNS. We are keen to get into RMPS because of proximity, but the balloting history of RMPS is really not in our favour.
Thanks

You should have been kiasu in 2015, not 2017. It is too late now to try to get into RMPS via PV. So you can only try in Phase 2C.

The options would be:
1. Phase 2A2 - Tao Nan (would be too late to sign up for alumni association now)
2. Phase 2C - Radin Mas

Option 1 would probably be safe and option 2 would involve a high risk ballot exercise. Probably makes more sense to be in control and avoid balloting.

Chief kiasu, We were rejected as PV; maybe that’s a sign.


Floppy, we are still alumni of tns. Signed up years ago just in case.

we live within:
1km of Pei Chun

[twinhills]

advice needed gurus. we’re accepted as PV by both Southview and Rulang. we stay within 1km of Southview. which one do you think is a better choice to register?

Hi,


Anyone here who is keen to register your child to Maha Bodhi - P1? Need some advise if any of you did use your parents address to register your child as is < 1km. Will it get a higher chance? Any historical results shown in Maha Bodhi of how many vacancy for phrase 2B or 2C? Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Hi NiceJS, the stats for Maha Bodhi can be found here: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/geylang


Btw do note that if using grandparents' address, even if <1km, child will be in the distance category of 1-2km.
Criteria also very strict...let me find the link for u...
