[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

VooVoo:

If they are not within 1km at phase 2b, no point try at phase 2c, no chance to ballot at all.

this number looks worse than last year(s) which means balloting is v likely at 2b, and if outside 2km then i think the chance is slim?

Thanks.. Seems like henry park is backup sch..

Not bad as a backup sch. GEP schs are normally other people's first choice.

It's like saying if I can't buy bentley, then mercedes is my backup car

Haven got approval from dh yet… Lolz…

ksks2010:

which of the Bukit Timah school do you think is safe to register if you are 2B within 2km?


i think NPYS is definitely out!

For Pei Hwa, there are 44 vacancies. Assuming there are 20 PVs, there will be 24 left, but don't forget Christians/grassroots.
For 2006/2008, there was balloting for those living out of 2km.

In any case, all the best for parents registering under Phase 2B.

Thanks for the update, tankee!

I have been reading this thread daily to see if there's a need for me to waste $1K for nyps alumni. Looking at the statistics, I think 2A2 is very safe :lol: But if it's CHS, better apply man!

ya, not necessary to join alumni just to get into 2A1. 2A2 is safe enough.

Be prepared for more flooding with the Circle Line being constructed. Bukit Timah has been known to be a flood zone for long time.

but ever since the canal work was completed many years ago, it has been flood free for so many years until starting from 2009

[quote=\"VooVoo\"]Remaining 36 spaces each for 2b and 2c at nyps! I think high chance of balloting for those out of 1km at 2b

:roll:

Meaning if they don't get at 2b, they will be in 2c balloting right?

If they are not within 1km at phase 2b, no point try at phase 2c, no chance to ballot at all.[/quote]NYPS says they have 44 PVs this year!

NYPS says they have 44 PVs this year!

This means that 8 PVs will be balloted out this time, despite clocking 80 hrs each. We live in a cruel world.

Yup, 80 hours isn't easy to clock up. Imagine if the poor parent had to do traffic warden every morn for 45 min and didn't manage to get the child into Nanyang.
