IUC:

thanks.But I think chances of getting in to St. Hilda would be very very slim as it is very popular and I live more than 2 km.I am choosing between Gongshang and Chongzheng.I need more informations on the 2 schools.can anyone help?

what type of info do you need?
i guess to start off, you need to see which is the one is the most likely that you can get in. you can refer to http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/2006-2007-primary-1-balloting-history
for balloting history. i only remember from past records that chongzheng need balloting for those residing <1km under phase 2C.

It seems like both schools goes balloting on the Phase 2c.I think my chances of getting in to Chongzheng is greater than going to Gongshang.

Anyway, thanks.

Hi -


I am very keen on St Hilda’s for my daugther. Having seen some of the Pri 1 topics, I realized that it is one of the most popular schools in the East. I live in Pasir Ris and plan to volunteer (that’s it if I am accepted!!) and would be grateful for comments / tips from parents who have kids there and / or have had experience with the school.

Further, recommendations on other good schools around Pasir Ris would be very helpful too.

Thanks!

Cheers!

St. Hilda's is right up there with the best, along with the likes of RGS and Tao Nan. It's going to be tough trying to get a place in there.


http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/pasir-ris-primary-school and http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/white-sands-primary-school are pretty decent schools by their own right. You should consider them if they are very near to you.

If you are nearer to Bedok, there's http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/red-swastika-school which has had solid performance in the past few years in PSLE.

Hi parents


The time is getting nearer for us to decide on choice of a school for our children. I am intending to try Phase 2C for St Hilda’s. Within 1km. Anyone knows what are the balloting chances like? Couldn’t find more information from the website. Called up the school and they mention that the chances are about 1 in 2. Anyone knows what are the absolute numbers like?

Also, we are within 1km of Chongzheng primary school as well. Heard that it is quite a good school in Tampines. Anyone has more information on the school and what are the balloting chances like. School didn’t share much information when contacted and couldn’t find more information from the website either.
