Thanks for your kind advice. It seems Queestown primary school is gaining popularity this year. Likely fully taken in 2C. I'm watching Zhangde and Queenstown. Tomorrow I'll go to register at school.

zhangde has 106 kids vying for 99 seats. queenstown has not exceeded yet...all the best in securing a place for your child 2moro.

Thanks! I think if Zhangde doesn't need to ballot for SC <2KM, then I may go for Zhangde. Else hopefully no ballot for Queestown SC <2km.[/quote]All the best! Since you're going tomorrow, suggest go in the afternoon. The problem with both ZD and Qtps, the schools won't tell us the Distance at what take up rate. Nerve wrecking, waiting to see Moe site on Friday, what Distance needs balloting.

I already know 2 who will register at Qtps tmrw, within 1km. It's going to be real tight!

When I was there this morning at 8am, there were 29. At 4.45pm I rang, admin mentioned there was 6. And true enough..

If we ask, do they reveal how many within 1km and 2km?

Could probably call ZD and ask tomorrow, since it already is oversubscribed. Wonder if they'll finally give the numbers.
Qtps said they won't know.

2C registration closes 2moro.
this Friday, parents will know whether they are successful in getting place or face balloting.
and the result will be known on 8/8.
zhangde already oversubscribed by 7 seats. there are still 6 vacancies for queenstown.
it's best to register at the school nearer home (1-2km)...in case balloting is required for those staying more than 2km away.
there is gan eng seng which has 74 vacancies as of today. all the best!

Hope within 1km for Qtps is safe! Bcos quite alot from 1km registered, I saw some with Hdb paperwork for the new blocks. I'm one of them also. 2 more registering tmrw that I know, also 1km.

Hi


I’m still in dilemma which to choose. Chij Kellock or Zhangde. Distance within 1-2km. Need to seek for guru’s advise.
Thanks.

Why dilemma?
One is co-ed while the other is all girls, one has secondary affiliation while the other doesn’t. They are so different.

it's clear cut. zhang de is already oversubscribed...but nobody knows how many stay less than 1km or out that.
chij kellock is newly renovated and still has vacancies.

Hi,


Anyone with kids currently studying in Gan Eng Seng and Cantonment Primary School. Just moved to Bukit Merah and not that familiar with schools here. Wondering about the school environment and teachers in these two schools.

Thanks!
