      I see. They have scheduled homework time from 3pm to 4pm, and activity time may be from 4:30 to 5:30 or earlier.

      Teachers may not ask each kid whether they have homework and completed or not.

      Thanks, zac’s mum for correction.

        Dear fellow parents,


        Could you kindly share your thoughts for those who have children in the school for more than one year? Am deciding between Alexandra Primary (1 Km) and Radin Mas (2Km and trying for PV). Any insights would be more than welcome, as so far I have not seen any registration or open house which I can go visit and check out for ALPS.

        Many thanks!

            Hi All,

            I'm new to Kiasu Parents...I'm in dilemma in registration of primary school for my child to enter in 2020. I'm an old student of Radin Mas Primary School (RPMS) and I'm likely to get in at phase 2A(2). However, I'm keen in Alexandra Primary School (ALPS) which is within 1km with the phase of 2C.
            ...
            My rule is to go for the best school that you have the best chance of getting into. RMPS is a good school. You have a chance to get into ALPS at a latter stage but what if you are balloted out? You won't be able to even go to RMPS then. The competition at ALPS is bound to be quite stiff.

              Plus, the distance between the two schools as well as from your house isn’t likely to be far apart. It should be a straightforward enough decision.

                hi tourKTM


                For this statement “ALPS <1km will have balloting this year again. “ May I know is referring to 2018 registration or the coming 2019 registration?

                I’m thinking what is the chances for SC below 1km since this year should be lower birth rate? Hehehe

                  Seems like ALPS will only have lesser vacancies @ phase 2C and rising number of applicants...

                  I belong to the SC 1-2km category. Based on the risk matrix, seems like My child will have a better chance to ballot for Zhang De instead. Views?

                      You might not have chance to ballot for ALPS at all. For Zhang De if you are 1-2km as well, you are likely to be successful without ballot.

                        Yeah Zhang De is within 1km. Same for Radin Mas, but its just waste of my time applying for Radin Mas with the high probability of heavily over subscribed and low vacancies from the earlier phases.


                        What a headache 🤕 here
