      Move house consider a serious decision & right now believe that Clementi, West Coast are expensive ever since the development of Fusion No Polis, Bio Polis etc etc.


      It would be wise to look around school near to your area. Anyway hope you can come to a good decision.
      Not ruling out balloting for an above average school in HG/SK. Just dun feel gd that a confirmed place in a very gd school goes begging...

      but moving house also a super major decision... so both are big decisions... jus have take into consideration...

        to add to it, now you have the Vision of high price there, no need the Polis .... but don't need to be exactly next to Nan Hua la....Jurong East also can since it is not depending on distance to get in

          I agree. What you need is to reduce the traveling time not to increasing the chance to get in NH.

              update - I have officially bought a place at CCK. so this is phrase 1 of the plan to get into NH. I have joined the Alumni to qualify for Phrase 2A1.

              Found out that school buses go to CCK. anyway, it looks likely my wife who is SAHM will be doing the ferrying.

              Found out that NH is a top school in SG so cannot bear to let the chance slip away for my kids....

                    Wow, in my time, NH was not that hot and despite living very near the school, my parents opted to send me further. How times have changed! Lucky for you, as my school eventually closed down and I no longer have the P2A advantage! 😢
