[racteo07]

Hi, any SHHK members here? I need 1 more endorsement.

Please help!

We are staying in Punggol and these are the choices we have:

1) Gongshang under 2A1 but worry abt the daily journey
2) Horizon under 2C (<1km)
3) Punggol View under 2C (<1km)

any views on these schools?

There’s no easy way to get from Punggol to Gongshang. Horizon will most definitely ballot < 1km while Punggol View may ballot < 2km (which means you will be spared the ballot).

IMHO None of the school’s above are exceptional that makes one better than the other. There are also plenty of other similar options in Punggol so no reason to fret if you have to ballot or have to choose something else.

EDITED.

As long as expected TOP of new address is by end of child Pri 2 year, you can use the new address to register.

Hi aloyboy,

HDb only states probable top as 2Q 2022, which means my boy would have been in p3 already. So I cannot use the new address for registration. Unless I rent around the area temporarily for registration. Otherwise, what are the chances of a transfer in p3? Many thanks!

Therefore chances for transfer are pretty good. If it’s a super popular school, though, they may be picky, based on the child’s exam results.

I’m not sure how far u are from your current place but travelling to school will be 6 years so its better to register a school around your new place.

Depending on which school. Transfer to a \"unpopular\" school usually those still with Phase 3 spaces left over, can be quite easy, anytime of the year. My friend transferred her kid to 2 different schools just a few mths apart these 2 schools in punggol.

If a popular school, you might as well try to get in during registration period, as majority of the primary years at new address.
Maybe if you name the school, many will be able give more specific advise on the what's that possibility of getting into that school, at different phase and distance possibility.
