Upper Bt Timah.Hi Funz,
Sorry about it. P1 registration starts next week 5-6th July for Phase 1...this is for kids born 2004. This phase no sweat, ALL guaranteed !!
Where do you stay ? Which school are you planning to register your child?
Wrote in for PV for Henry Park, Nanyang and Pei Hwa. All rejected, left with Pei Hwa. So happen Pei Hwa is also the nearest to where we are right now. DD is in RGPS so dun think we will be moving out of this area. All other schools in this area require balloting even within 1km, even those in Bt Batok also very tough. Seriously considering Lian Hua now. -
Funz:
Wildboys, I'm in the same position as you. But like what the others have said, cannot bank on getting PV. Haiz.. but I oso have no idea what to do oredi. No schools within 2km from where I am staying and all the nearby schools require balloting even within 1km. Only one is Bukit Timah Primary and I am not too impressed with that school. Maybe Lianhua might be a better choice.
Hi Funz, yeah we know PV is not a guarantee so we have plans move to within 1km (also has risks) or go to bt panj pri cos will be in phase2A2 loh. Since you stay in upp bt, would u consider bt panjang pri too? oh ya i also wrote in to NH, was rejected very fast

wildboys:
I will still be in phase 2C. Given that, I will choose Lian Hua as it is nearer to where I am. Getting a place near Pei Hwa is a consideration for us as well but property prices are crazy and I dread moving. Oh well, come September, we will have a clearer picture, that is if we receive a reply from Pei Hwa.Funz:

What about Bukit Timah Pri? From PSLE results, seems that it's not bad leh.

Yah that is also one consideration. But somehow, I have no idea why as well, I have a better impression of Lian Hua compared to Bt Timah Pr.

A friend of mine has 2 gals in MGS primary…no prob since she was a former student but now having a headache where to register her son.
She is considering Bukit Panjang as there is affiliated sec school.
Funz,
Since your daughter is in RGPS, I don’t think it’s a good idea to move house. Are you staying within 1km to Pei Hwa ? -

No. And not schools within 2km. Else no need to so headache oredi.A friend of mine has 2 gals in MGS primary...no prob since she was a former student but now having a headache where to register her son.

Funz,
Your daughter is in RGPS ? Pei Hwa will be the best choice for your child.
Bukit Panjang Primary has a high intake too…my son’s classmate from kindy also had to ballot then, though they stay within 1km. -
janet_lee88:
Yah I know. That goes for most of the neighbourhood schools within Bt batok as well. Problem is I have no priority for Pei Hwa and if I do not get selected for PV, only other choice is to find a place withing 1km. Even then oso not exactly guaranteed a place in Pei Hwa. Hence gotta look for alternatives.Funz,

Hi Funz,
I understand your frustrations. For some schools like Nanyang, MGS, Southview, even 1km have to ballot. That is very frustrating :frustrated:
Property prices are so expensive now, even moving house is another headache. Your child is '05 right ? I have a friend who moved within 1km to Pei Hwa too. Have you thought of renting first ?
