Hi,

I am a newbie to kiasupatents. My daughter is a PR , will be enrolling for Primary School this year. We have short listed 3 schools. I would like to get first hand opinion of parents those who have kids Studying in these school, which will help me make an informed decision.

1) CHIJ Our Lady of Nativity
2) Compassvale Primary
3) Seng Kang Primary

Kindly provide feedback about teachers, CCA facilities and anything to watch out for ( if any) .

Thanks in advance

Your child is a PR.

Discussion of the school is pointless if you can’t even ballot for the school. Among the 3, number 1 and 2 will ballot for SC only. Therefore, your choice is effectively number 3, SKPS, only.

Last year OLN PR within 1km had to ballot. But this year PR probably may not have a chance at all.

The one time balloting for within 1km was in 2013 but thats when 40 spots not were reserved for 2B and 2C. 2014 onwards, its usually quite close for filling in the spots nicely (all distance). For this year take up rate till 2A1 has increased 22 spots. and If the 2A2 fill in 24 more, HPPS will be left with 40 spots. Point to note is 26 people applied under 2B last year (19 Applied in 2018). All GRL route would adopt an \"avoid ballot\" route. For risk point i think its still fairly good chance those for within 1km under 2B will be safe.

I couldn't assume your year of registration. if its for this year or SG50 baby, the risk point should be above.

For NYPS and RGPS, staying within 1km under 2B, for NYPS balloting will be conducted at 1.5X to 1.8X of the available spots whilst RGPS will be sure in.

If you want all the 3 choices, and your application is not this year, you can watch the numbers for HPPS and say balloting 26 applied for 20 spots and balloting is conducted for >2km, then based on risk point and increasing option you can go for staying within 1km of NYPS and RGPS while staying within 1-2km of HPPS.

I also noted you may have other 2A1 or 2A2 choices, all i want to say is with more choices, come more headache Weigh your pros and con and adopt a strategy that best suit your risk profile.

As there is no previous year's cases, i think only the school can tell you clearly (if they keep track of the numbers).
While we are not sure about the risk profile of parents, usually most parents do not have options within 2A2 so will just apply. FYI, 57 applied last year and 46 applied in 2018.

Rulang is only left with 22 seats for 2A2, so I guess chance of balloting is very high.
