Hi,

am thinking of putting my kid in that school? Any parents whose kids are in there or had been in there? Any insider comments?

Honestly, firestation, all good things comes to those who wait. I understand your urgency in getting some nice juicy bits on Ai Tong, but do try to post in this thread so that we poor mods don't have to keep merging your posts.

Anyway... what exactly do you want to know about Ai Tong? If you are looking at first-hand gossips on Ai Tong I don't qualify. All I can tell you is that even as the 2nd most popular school in Bishan after Catholic High, it is pretty darn hard to get in EVEN in Phase 2B. So if you have a chance to get in Ai Tong in Phase 2A, and if you stay close by, don't waste that opportunity.

yeah, know abt thos facts and figures that it is not an easy school to get in… More interested in what’s the school culture like? Teachers like? Principal like?

We are catholic, but we dun stay near Catholic high, not even within 2km. and I dun intend to do PV, what is my chance of my boy getting a place there?


My uncle-in-law owns a stall in thier canteen though.

Whether u do PV or not does not matter becoz both for the past years, both 2B and 2C conducted balloting for those staying within 1km only.

suppose if we move to within 1km? which phase am I in? I'm just trying to understand the system. :?

If you have no connections with the school, i.e., you are not a Catholic, or a PV in the school, then you will be registering under Phase 2C and moving within 1km of the school, simply gives you the chance to ballot for a place ( I am 100% sure that there'll be a need for balloting for <1km for both phase 2B & phase 2C).

I’m a catholic, so is my boy. I’m not staying near the sch, but is thinking of moving to within 1km. I dun plan to do PV though.


I think being a catholic doesn’t mean u get a seat in phase 2B right?

That's ok. I kept merging them into the Bishan thread because that's where they should be. I'll leave this post here until someone finally replies with answers to your question.
