Looks like many schools will have balloting in Phase 2A(2). There will be many parents would regret for not joining the alumni association to get a seat in Phase 2A(1)...

Those (Nanyang & Ai Tong) parents who need to ballot at Phase 2A2, now : \"fighting\" with left-over 10 seats (Nanyang) and 16 seats (AT), would regret not paying $1000 alumni fees (Nanyang) and $ 500 alumni fees (AT), to join 2A1

Hi! parents


We can apply Zhang De Pri school under 2B but I have preference to go for St Marg or Kellock because of the affiliation to secondary school which will be under 2C (have 2 girls).

In terms of distance, zhang de is the nearest.
Can anyone share your thoughts on Zhang De Pri School? Any information in terms of the academic standard, teachers?

Between SMPS and Kellock ? which is a better choice overall? and which one do I have a higher chance?(both outside 2 km)
Both schools require travelling and SMPS will be slightly further than Kellock esp when it moves to holding site.
In terms of the secondary schools, is SMSS or STC is better ?

Appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Don't forget that some don't have that option though. Eg. teachers who teach in the school & those with siblings who have already graduated... all fall under 2A2 but they don't qualify to be \"Alumni\".

Hi all

Thinking of Alexandra Primary school but within 1-2km under 2C, any advice?

TIA

actually the teachers' children should be moved to phase 1...teachers are deployed to the school by MOE. they do not apply to teach in the particular school, as such they should enjoy priority. happy teachers will teach the students well.
if the teachers choose to register their kids in other schools, so be it...but if they are teaching in the school and logistics wise, it makes sense for them to register their kids in the same school.

Very highly likely that ballot will take place <1km.
You should consider elsewhere.

I agree! :goodpost:

[zac's mum]

I agree also, based on logistics rationale.


But…I heard that autonomous primary schools principals have the discretion of choosing their teachers. So for example, a teacher who is an alumnus can ask the principal for a recommendation/special request to MOE to deploy said teacher to the school. So in such a case, the teacher’s kid would leapfrog over the other 2A kids?
