I think good is irrelevant if you are not within 1km of the school. So, which school above are within 1km of your house?

hi tinywings, thanks a lot for your advice.

Will there still be space in Qifa at phase2CS?
I can't seem to find feedback about Qifa primary and the demographics whether there's high numbers of foreigners.
I am just worried if fail at NH, might end up no where and further...

Hi mummytang,
I'm staying at west coast too. Nan hua is the most popular and most competitive amongst the 4 schools in the clementi area. Clementi Pri and Qifa are popular too and all the spaces are usually taken up by Phase 2c, so the only school with vacancies at Phase 2cs is Pei Tong Pri. Your question whether to go for NH or Qifa is a common dilemma amongst pp living in our area. Some decide to try balloting in Nan Hua while others just go for Qifa in phase 2c. I myself have decided to go for Qifa (which is 5 mins walk from my house and they are a decent school) then to take the risk.

Hello Floppy!

Thanks for replying to my post. Well, Choa Chu Kang Pri would be within the 1km of my house. I'm contemplating btwn CCKPS and SVPS (which is almost 2km away - need to take school bus).

If CCKPS is within 1km of your house, then that is the only viable option. SVPS is irrelevant to you unless you are going to move to within 1km.
That would be pretty silly, if you are thinking about moving from balloting within 1km for school A to balloting within 1km for school B.

Greetings all, 


I am going to register my daughter to Primary School next year, and I am considering Alexandra and Queenstown Primary School in phase 2C. However, I was informed by my friend who is Catholics, that I can register at CHIJ Kellock at Phase 2B since we are Catholics. I have another son who is SG50 baby. Is there any parent here who has kids with different primary school? Any pros and cons? Thank you!
