Yangzheng school seemed so good and we have been doing parent volunteer there for close to 40 hrs now (for next year’s P1 registration).


Wondering how come the TUR is so low, almost every year?!

We are intending to move near there too, from Sengkang where we live now.

Really puzzle us why is Yangzheng take up rate is low…?

Anyone to advise?

Thanks in advance.

Low TUR does not mean the school is no good, it is just not as popular as other schools in the proximity.

Hi Fabbymum,


Dun worry too much, I think Yangzheng is quite an ok sch. It just means those parent volunteers may try their luck at other schools first. Zhonghua take up rate is even lower, only 1 out of 80 leh.... :lol:

Tankee,

Tks for updates, my colleaugue's daughter also in Tao Nan

tankee:

yes. result is by post.


A day or 2 after the result date.

MOE will publish the schools that will be balloting and for what distance. And we will post those information here as well. And the registration status breakdown by distance is posted on noticeboards at the school and periodically updated bny the registration staff.

Usually, each school has about 2 registration counters. So depends on the arrival pattern of the parents.

Half day is more than enough. When I registered last year, it took about 15min.

Hi Tankee,

Need to clarify a bit here. For P2C, on the third day afternoon are we able to see the latest result of the applications vs vacancies by distance (e.g <1km>2km) in the school itself? Tks in advance.

Some schools put the numbers up, while others don't. For those which don't, you will have to speak to the staff.

Dear Fabbymum


Just curious, how do you know that Yangzheng is not bad ?

Just got the news from school. No balloting for all in 2B.
