2021 P1 Registration Exercise for 2022 In-take
-
Dear parents,
Our 1st child is SPR. So we are under Phase 2C. We will move to woodland and want to choose the nearest school from our house. As checked, our house location is 1-2 mins walking distance to innova primary and 3 mins walk to woodgrove Primary. So can anyone advice me that among of these 2 schools which school would have more chance to get in?
Looking for your advise.
Thanks -

1. Don’t tell us how long it takes to walk to school. It’s immaterial for Primary school registration. Instead, use OneMap to calculate distance (<1km, 1-2km, > 2km).

2. SC will be balloting for Innova, therefore, no chance for SPR. Woodgrove typically ballots SPR < 1km which means you will need a back plan if you are under 1km and intend to try for this school. -

You can consider Si Ling Primary School. It’s within the same neighborhood as the other 2 schools. PR will be able to get in at phase 2C no problem.

Hi all, would like to seek advise for primary schools in Admiralty/Woodlands area.
My current choices are Riverside pri and Admiralty pri. My child will be registering under phase 2C. We live within 1km for both schools. However base on the ballot history, both requires balloting for 2C (SC living within 1KM)… Wondering if anyone has any feedback on either schools and also their school based student cares? Thanks in adv! -
take note
This year,
a number of primary schools have merged.
So, try to avoid balloting in Phase 2C if can,
because
some schools no longer exist anymore, under 2C Supplementary.
Example
If you are thinking of balloting for the highly popular, highly sought after \" in demand \" Catholic High primary under Phase 2C and if unluckily fail to ballot in, Guangyang is your backup school under 2C Supplementary Phase -
Guangyang xiao xue now has merged with Townsville.
So, if you stay in Bishan, even if u are considering Guangyang as a back up school under 2C Supp, no more Guangyang anymore !
Because
Guangyang,
after merged with Townsville primary -
Townsville become the new site merged school.
But then,
Townsville
fall under Ang Mo Kio area, not under Bishan anymore. In fact, this will benefit Ang Mo Kuo residents more, after merging -
means that
Townsville now has more seats than past years before. These extra seats come from Guangyang ?

Guangyang Pri and Townsville Pri will merge in 2023. Not this year 2021.

While the schools chosen for merger / closing down isn’t much of a shock, I still find it a surprise that some of these schools isn’t given a new lease of life by moving them elsewhere. The government-aided schools do it almost all the time, so why not government schools?
Guangyang Pri and Townsville Pri will merge in 2023. Not this year 2021.

Apart from Yushof Ishak recently (probably kinda sensitive to close down a former President’s namesake), it is rarely done. For example, rather than conveniently “merging” Townsville and Guangyang, I feel that MOE could have kept Townsville and relocate Guangyang to one of those schools that MOE is building anyway. In that way, the original aim of merger is maintained (leaving only 1 school in the area) while Guangyang, a 103 year old school, gets “preserved” in another part of Singapore.
A school that I hope to see its name remain (rather than some Frankenstein like the recent merged JC) is Telok Kurau Primary School. It has a claim that no other primary school in Singapore AND Malaysia can make - it can list 2 former PMs as its distinguished alumni - the late LKY and the late Datuk Hussein Oon. -
Also interesting to note:
Once Guangyang and Townsville merged and moved to the Townsville site, Bishan becomes the only public housing estate without a government primary school. It’s remaining primary schools - KCPPS, CHS and ATS - are all government-aided schools with ties to either religious bodies or clan
-
I second Floppy’s idea of recycling the school name. No point building a new school in NE and naming it Water-sthg or sthg-View which is so generic.
Btw trend is to support local is it? Yusof Ishak can move house but Sir Stamford Raffles cannot have Stamford Primary any more? People prefer to use his surname for schools is it?
