Hi all,


I am very very confused now as well!!! Just phase 1, Rulang vancancies only left 168 and compared to last year an increase in 5%. I not sure if i shd give up Rulang and straight away reg. for Jurong or Shuqun or I should still give a try as I stay within 1km and also I am a Singaporean.....please advise me!!!!!!

Hi Ningval,


Are you a PV in Rulang? if not then i would say your chances is quite slim but...but this year onwards there is a new rule, Singaporean got two chances for balloting and this is a plus to your application and further more i saw quite a number of PRs staying around that area (maybe to enrol their children into this school) so if you are staying within 1km then i would say go for a try!

Luck on you friend

RRmummy,

Okay, I will go read thru from page 1 when i have more time. Will i stand a chance for >2km if i apply for shuqun? In my mind i always tot shuqun is also a rather popular school.

Oops... sorry if you are >2km from Shuqun, then also have to skip this option. So far, I read that Xingnan is good for their Chinese Program, Juying has very nice teachers, Cooperation is single session etc etc..

Hope you can fish something you feel comfortable in.. also you may check out the relevent schools threads under the link below to check with the parents who have kids in those schools: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewforum.php?f=38

Happy Reading! :celebrate:

giggler,

Yup, that's what the principal have said during their open house.
Thanks for the info.

my friend who is a teacher there said that, for a student to get into a good secondary school not only good grade and get in, even those whose grade are not so good but CCA are good can get into good secondary as well. Some good school look into the student CCA also.

How many ppl agree with this?

some schools do accept students that are good in certain sports. But unless the student is a late bloomer, wouldn't the child suffer in the higher standard school, risk being de-moralised, etc etc
