Wow u are smart in knowing my region. Actually I’m < 1km fm peps under phase 2c so now I’m thinking should I just drop this school n got for jps or bvps under phase 2c? Any advise for me? I’m from east and not sure any pri sch in the west and plus my first child is sg50

Are you within 1km from JPS? Ballot for dragon babies in Y2018 for SC btw 1-2km. Since you have a SG50 baby, you might face the same competition. A lot also considering Fuhua as alternative.
BVPS and YPS is relatively safe until P2Cs.

Hi all... First post here Really thank all the gurus here in providing so much valuable data and insights. Finally found someone discussing about the schools around my region..

I've been living in this area for years and always thought PEPS is an ok choice to try for 2C (around 1.2-1.5x oversubscribed) and suddenly since last year... Boomz! Oversubscription rate went up to 2.5x and continues to stay there for this year... I got a shock when checking out for my SG50 boy :scared:

What I noticed is that there are a lot of new BTO in this area for the past 2-3 years. For some of these blocks, PEPS is their ONLY choice within 1km. For the blocks nearer to Bukit Batok, the other <1km school(s) have plenty of seats in 2CS anyway. So these people add to the 2C number for PEPS.

The blocks nearer to Jurong side have JPS as another choice so they are luckier? I also noticed slight increase in JPS registration. But then these people may also have Fuhua as a 2CS backup so decided to join in the fun at PEPS...

And so I think these explain the sudden increase in oversubscription rate for PEPS....

Thanks for sharing. I am not in the region but you have enlightened me.

This is not just happened yesterday. PEPS is unofficially the most preferred school in BB since years back, for obvious reasons. The house owner who sold the unit to me moved to the area just to be within 1 km of the school.

Personally, primary schools are all about distance. Secondary schools are all about how far the children can achieve.

My experience is that it is critical to set priority and beliefs, decisions will be easy thereafter. It means for us to ditch the popular/top primary schools/neighbourhood schools label. My kids must be conditioned too. We don't queue for popular food stalls, cos all others are edible and filled the stomach. We didn't even turn up for GEP trial. So now looking back, fortunately and glad to say no regrets yet, cos I don't really see any difference that matters.
