I have alumni status for both. The distance is the deterrent

In my opinion, distance is crucial. I think it's not good for kids to wake up too early and spend 1 hour traveling to school everyday for 6 years.

1 hour travelling is no joke...especially when there will be CCA and supplementary lessons as the child progresses to mid primary.

Is Mee Toh in the north east? It wouldn't be too far from Toa Payoh if you're staying there? North to North east not so bad...the other option (travel to Rulang in far west) is very siong.

Hi!

Phase 2C.

Need advice on 2 schools : Between Newtown and Queenstown - what are the chances?
Newtown within 1km. Queenstown 1-2km.

Thanx!

Hi parents

We recently moved houses to Potong pasir
I have option of Bendemeer in phase 2B (as it’s my old school) or Cedar Primary in phase 2C. As I am not SC but PR, don’t want to risk St.Andrew’s or Maria Stella.
based on psle scores, cedar seems to have done better. We are confused though should we take bendemeer or wait till 2C for Cedar?

Normally, as PR, you should grab the guaranteed place if given the opportunity. However, in this case, I think it makes no difference.

While there could be a possibility that Cedar will go into balloting, Bendemeer is most definitely going to have places carried over to P2Cs. You may as well wait to see whether the place in Cedar opens up to you in P2C.

BTW, if you are an alumnus of Bendemeer, your child will fall under P2A, not P2B.

DS is in Fairfield Pri. Got in thru balloting after I did PV a few years ago. Was all full of wow and awe for the school but in the recent months, been very disappointed with the teachers and a few other incidents. Wonder if it’s because the P has changed and therefore changes in the way things are carried out in school.


Should I register my 2011 gal for MGS? I’m alumni, so will definitely get in.
Only thing stopping me is logistics. 4 bus stops to Fairfield, 8 bus stops to MGS. So it’s still ok…

Fairfield has already sent out the phase 1 registration form and I need to submit by TOMORROW!
