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.

affilation but if score not enuff also no use cannot get in right ?

[quote]Palm View oversubscribed for 2Cs, not sure about the distance though, and no, my friend stayed within 1km to Springdale balloted out from phase 2Cs last year.

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.[/quote]\"My friend stayed within 1km to Springdale balloted out from phase 2Cs last year\"....oh is it? That means the balloting result published in the forum is wrong?

[garrybor]

The balloting history published in the forum is not wrong but a 10year historical trend.

It does not reflect local and yearly trends.

The key change for the Sengkang area is the VERY large number of new housing, especially within 1km of Nan Chiau.

(For those of us without any connection, or the wrong race/religion/language)
Before 2015, if you live within 1KM of Nan Chiau, you can try your luck at the 20 places (It’s 20 for 2B, 20 for 2C, NOT 40 for 2C) for Phase 2C and if you fail, it is guaranteed that you can fall back to Springdale at 2CS without balloting.

In 2015, however, Springdale had balloting for 2CS for < 1KM, which means that if you had tried your luck at NC in 2C, there is a high possibility your kid cannot even get into Springdale.

Hence for parents registering your children in 2016 for the 2017 P1 cohort, you effectively have only 1 shot during 2C. If you miss, then 2CS is an unknown.

is it true that this year competition will be less for NC for Tiger children?

chinese basically dun like tiger so most wont plan for tiger baby :rotflmao:

but if the tiger kid got sibling in dragon year then better choose wisely so that dragon baby can go in same school easily

[lchunleo]

i agree fully. the tiger child will help to put the path for the dragon child to get easier access . thanks


actually my thinking even if the tiger children is less compared to other zodiac but given NC and the number of new flats within 1 KM, i don't think it make much different

Hi, ya I also think the tiger year would not make a difference due to new flats and perhaps new citizens.

Hi parents, I’m still thinking whether to take the risk to ballot under Phase 2C for NCPS this year. We are SC staying less than one km from NC. Which other Pri Sch you’d recommend near NCPS? Is Anchorgreen Pri good or fair?
