Every school is a good school.

You just have to go for the less popular ones.

Any of the schools with white (no colour) at phase 2C are very safe for PRs.

this year's batch registering for p1 is not tiger batch?

even if Ehlana23's hubby fetches the child to school and there is school bus on the way home, the girl will be spending long hours on the road. if she eventually goes to fairfield secondary school when hours are longer, she would still have to face a long journey going home after school and there won't be school bus.

This batch intake P1 registration going to start in July 2017, but is actually for 2018 Primary 1 intake

calculation :
take 2018 - 7 years = 2011

What is the Chinese zodiac sign, of kids born in 2011 ?
2011 is year of the Metal Rabbit (not Tiger), may refer -

Most people love rabbit, because the nature associated with rabbit is often : gentle, mild, besides rabbit being cute, hopping around, very bubbly. All the rabbits from this batch, are getting excited, ready to hop out of their K2 kindergarten, can't wait to hop / jump onto a band wagon, geared up eagerly awaiting to go to their new Primary schools, next year January 2018.

Thus, rabbit is a popular year, for child birth.
Hence, this year expected to be ... competitive, even more so esp after MOE had reduced or cut down the number of P1 classes, in certain primary schools, as been highlighted earlier on.

how blur of me :oops: before dragon year is the year of the rabbit.
my son is born in 2000, but before CNY (which was Feb 4)....so he is not a true dragon child.

Thank you for your replies. Relocation is not possible in the near future as my parents moved to Punggol to be near us and to help support us with the kids. Not very nice for us to move away. Personally I'm not keen on FMPS as there is no school bus to NE area. My hubby can drive her there in the morning but returning home is a complicated matter esp when the kids start to have supplementary classes or CCA after school.

Can consider to put ur kid to the student care and can pick up from school after work if you are really keen.

I believed the additional 40 places (20 places allocated to phase 2B and phase 2C respectively) extracted from the original vacancies started in year 2014.

So you probably have to observe the trend starting from year 2014.

That fact may be correct, but I don't think the reservation of the 20 places made much difference to the trend? Rationale being, more people thought their chances would be better so more people applied. So phase 2B and 2C did not really get easier to score a place. The main impact was on the earlier phases like alumni had to undergo balloting in the most popular schools.

That's right. What the reservation of the 40 places is to shift the competition upwards to Phase 2A. It does not reduce competition downstream in Phase 2B and 2C because those who failed in Phase 2A are likely to try again in Phase 2B and 2C.

What is more significant is really the emphasis on Singapore citizenship which started in 2014. That really shifted the balance in favour of SCs for the really popular schools.

Checking in, annual event going to start again. Here to help if I can (see odds and chance, not choosing school for you), feel rusty though. Time to exercise brain.

Thanks Lexy! I'm sure your help will be much appreciated by newbie parents.

I applaud MOE for taking this stand. Citizenship should be accorded priority in our 'world-class education system'. :rahrah:

I am still waiting to see if this will be extended to the GEP at P4-P6. IMHO, this program should be for SC kids only. I do know of quite a few PR kids who were in GEP left Singapore upon graduation.
