Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

[Syl28]

Hi all, we will be participating in Phase 2C next week and are considering Alexandra Primary (<1km) vs River Valley Primary (1-2km). Would like to get your opinion/feedback on these 2 schools, and which one should we aim for?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Syl28, choose the school that’s closer to your home. Your child will need to go on field trips and there’s also CCA after school, so transport will be easier and commute shorter if the school is nearby. As MOE says, every school is a good school

Both ALPS and RVPS will be oversubscribed for 2C based on past years records, so the nearer you are to the school, the better. For me, my son will be attending Alexandra Primary next year. Hope to see you around.

Does anyone know if the number of applications shown in MOE website as of 27 Jul include those who registered online via P1-IS since yesterday (Jul 26)?

This school is probably one where PR > 2km has the greatest chance of getting in at P2C. Total number of applicants, including the earlier phases, is on the low side.
