[quote=\"canuckmum\"]For those staying near APS and need to go for another school, Zhangde is probably be closest.


Heard from a friend: cantonment has 74 spaces left as of 10am today.

so having a Principal and VP from popular schools drove the enrolment at APS up.

Actually I think some of the parents' mentality isn't about the P/VP. More like, it's the next relatively better sch, and thot more chance cos RMPS is out of the question. But I think most parents also more willing to give new schools a try compared to those normal ones that have been around for a while, at least that's the sentiments I got from some friends. Good move though to put credible Ps/VPs in these new schools.[/quote]Cannot gauge if is a better school because there is no history records to compare. Parents like me choose it cos of the credentials of the P/VP and the relatively lesser students in the school. Also as a new school, the pioneer batches will have the opportunity to shape the school because everything starts on a clean slate.

true. a brand new school is always nice to attend. the pioneers will set the standard with a new P and VP. if APS is too hot, then another new school to consider will be Cantonment.

Radin Mas has 83 vacancies, 80 taken up by within 1km

Thought Radin Mas on 79 vacancies for phase 2C?

Radin mas seems to have a lower take up rate. I guess all these will change come afternoon. Seems like a good choice.

Not yet, I expect parents to withdraw and apply later..

but if demand exceeds by so much, then it's wiser to choose a school which has been around rather than go through a heart thumping session during balloting.

true too, oversubscription rate every year...
