Hi all, need some advices... i am staying within 1km to catholic high and 2km to kuo chuan, in 2C... which is a better bet?

If you enjoy balloting and is willing to accept Guangyang in Phase 2Cs - CHS.

If you have a weak heart and stomach - KCPS.

Thanks for replying... but looking at past records of KCPS.. i dont seem to stand a good chance too... they give priority to 1km right?

You can refer to past https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/bishan/. In some years, KCPS ballot for > 2km. In others, between 1km and 2km. Unless it's one of those (rare) years where ballot < 1km, you will often stand a better chance with KCPS than CHS. However, you will have to monitor the situation next year and if both schools are in a balloting situation for you (100% CHS will ballot < 1km, KCPS unknown), calculate the odds and decide which one is better for you.

Thanks for the explanation, seems clearer now, will keep track of the odds!

I checked this year’s 2018 registration thread. The dates were released by MOE on 4 April 2018 (see https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=84544&start=610), so yours would probably in April 2019.

End of June is usually reserved for Phase 1 sibling phase. So u can safely book and go for your June holiday, no problem.

Depending on which subsequent phase you will be using, usually 2A will be early July, 2B will be mid July, 2C will be end July to early August, and 2C(S) will be mid August.

Hi appreciate if you can give your thoughts on my situation. we reside at yishun. The schools i can register my son (without going in to balloting) are Northview Primary school and Peiying Primary school. Not very sure of the quality of these schools. Also based on balooting history De La Salle primary school in CCK seem to be a possibility. As it has affiliation to SJI it has an appeal. But the distance to travel is the main issue.


So in my situation, which school is the best to opt for?
Thanks in advance!

Dear All,


Need your advise please. any comments on below Jurong west primary schools?

All within one km.
1) Westgrove (WG)
2) Westwood (WW)
3) Jurong west Primary

Thinking to register on WW for Phase 2C but it might be taken up by MOE kindergarten.

Seem like balloting is required for Phase 2C on these schools?

any advise please.

Thanks
