Hi

Does anyone knows the status of woodgrove primary? How many are within 1km?

Hi, anyone have any feedback on Farrer Park Primary School? Need to think about 2CS already. Thanks

[quote=\"pooh2\"]Hi all.


The school that we registered our twin boys at - Temasek Primary - is severely oversubscribed (81 applicants for 34 vacancies).

We are SCs within 1km of Temasek but I think the chance of balloting is high. Our 2nd choice was St Stephen’s (>2km) but it is 91% filled after today (19 vacancies left for 2CS) so if we are not successful with Temasek, doubt if we should try.

Our 3rd choice is Bedok Green (<1km) and the numbers look healthy enough (64 applicants for 164 vacancies).

I would like to ask if anyone can share about Bedok Green as we don’t know anyone with kids studying there. Only have info from their website, and can’t seem to find much fm KSP too. Would like to know how the school is academically (e.g. passing rates for PSLE), how the teachers are (supportive? caring?), and whether any parent has had any negative experiences with the school.

Also grateful if anyone has suggestions on alternative schools that we should consider which we may have missed out.

TIA!! :salute:

If I were you and you like st Stephens just give it a shot in phase 2cs. If you don’t get in moe will automatically assign you to the nearest school so you will still go to bedok green if all fails. Give st Stephens a shot if you like it. But that is my strategy just sharing others may thing otherwise.

With a balance of 19 seats in 2CS, St Stephen’s is likely to be oversubscribed and may have to ballot. If that happens, being >2km, you may not get the chance to ballot and you lose your 2CS chance.

I’d suggest you monitor the numbers first and register on the last day in 2CS. However my advice is go for Bedok Green.[/quote]Bedok green has rosyth ex principal there .

Your posted school may or may not be Bedok Green. If SC and PR surge to Bedok Green at P2CS, you can kiss that option goodbye. Your posted school may be further, unheard of by you even.

Bedok green currently have 100 open spaces. There is little chance it will be full.

You can state your preference to moe:

Parents of Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident children who have not obtained a school place after Phase 2C Supplementary can request MOE to facilitate your child's placement to a school which still has vacancies.

This might not be true for this year, especially since Bedok Green is the only school within 1KM that still has vacancies left for Phase 2CS. The other schools within the same area like Fengshan, RSS, Yu Neng and Temasek have all been oversubscribed in Phase 2C. This will end up as the most likely back-up plan for folks who are within the 1KM range. I am in a similar situation, but I am looking at other options > 2KM as well.

School ~ no. of excess applicants at 2C
Fengshan ~ 13
RSS ~ 45
Yu Neng ~ 14
Temasek ~ 46

Cedar Pri is a good sch? Genuinely asking, no offense and don’t mean to sound rude at all.

Yeah I went for their open house a few years back & was quite impressed. It is next to Cedar Girls Secondary which is a very reputable school.

[/quote]If my memory works well, I happened click the MOE website, there is a section to provide comments to school , Teachers etc, from the TOP, there are a Lot of positive comment about Teachers (with names) in this school, and I was at that time wondering whether the school starts with “c” so that is why the comments to this school is on the TOP?
I didn’t scroll down to check but that is what I saw from MOE website
