[Seng Kang] Primary Schools

Hi parents,


I am going to register for my elder son for P1 this year, my first choice is Seng Kang Green (<1km), given the fact that SKG is over subscribed heavily last year (need to ballot even stay within 1km). I'd need to have a backup plan. Below are the backup schools I shortlisted (based on past year result, should still have vacancy for 2C supp). Can parents here give me your thoughts about the schools and if you were me how would you set the back up priority? Thanks for your advice， much appreciated.

Fernvale primary school (<1km)
Palm View primary school (>1km, <2km)
Springdale primary school (>1km, <2km)
Anchor Green primary school(>1km, <2km)
Seng Kang primary school (>2km)

In my humble opinion, if you still do not get a place by P2C, your priority in P2CS should be to get a place in a school nearest to your house without balloting.

Hihi,

We are also going to try Sengkang Green, but based on last year's record, only Anchor Green and Seng Kang Primary school need not ballot at phase 2Cs.
Which backup primary school will you be choosing?

parent how do you choose school ?


based on distance
or based on PSLE result
or based on student care in school ?

Based on distance AND affiliation. I don't really care about historical PSLE results. After all it's just a primary school. To me, affiliation with secondary school is more important, so it can reduce my stress level during PSLE period.

Based on last year result, Palm View only need to ballot for those stay outside 2km and Springdale only need to ballot for those stay 1-2km in phrase 2C supp but with more new flats around I think this may not be the case any more.

Sengkang Green is going to be oversubscribed this year again, due to many flats TOP in 2018, they are able to register to this school as well. Oh well... stressed.
