[Toa Payoh] Primary Schools

ben2010:

:congrats: to you all who got in.

Unfortunately, we were one of the 7 families who failed to get in.
So now, busy doing research for schools within Tampines.
Not sure if still a good idea to try St Hilda, since the odd is worse.

Would you consider St Stephen's? It was my choice of school if we failed to get in MSH, especially now it has 90 vacancies for Phase 2C. Last year, it had abt 75 vacancies and balloting for over 2km was 17 kids for 35 places. So at 90 vacancies, I thought the odds are good.

school / vacancies for Phase 2C


Cedar Primary School 75
CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) 52
First Toa Payoh Primary School 169
Kheng Cheng School 133
Maris Stella High School 90
Marymount Convent School 151
Pei Chun Public School 47
St. Andrew’s Junior School 71

My guess for balloting would be IJ TP, MS, PCPS and SAJS.

As I mentioned earlier, we were losing hope as it enter the last 7. So can u imagine when our son's name was finally drawn. I even tell my DW to buy some sweets for the boy who picked out my son's name. lolz...

Haha, I kept thinking you were the mom! Congrats... mine was picked by the IJ gal... we asked the Holy Spirit to guide her hand... :celebrate:

Hi Bigfoot,

Haha -- i was in left column too -- but right in the middle!! Next time we meet - we should intro ourselves!

Btw -- bigfoot -- you were sitting in left column/ 2nd row -- wondering, is your wife an ex-IJ gal? Not sure if your wife is my senior in school -- i know someone sitting around there is!!

[/quote]Given the stress during the balloting session, would you have noticed whether the PM's wife was sitting behind you ? Hey, our gals may be classmates or school mates next year.

Hi Janet, -- haha -- dun think so. We were at the MS ballot. But i saw my senior from IJ -- but you were correct -- I was so stressed that i didnt dare to move from my seat - so didnt go up n say Hi to her --- dont think she saw me also.

Haha -- now wondering if her boy is in also - cos i know after the ballot -- everyone just said see you Nov 13 and dissappeared!!
