Guangyang is at AMK temporary only as its premise in bishan is being rebuild under PRIME. It will be back in bishan in 2012.

Yes, and it will be KCPPS's turn to move to the same temporary holding school in AMK, in 2012.

i heard that kcpps' move has been shelved. 2012 will still be at current premises.[/quote]Oops...apologies for the wrong info. I didn't hear about this, but I also haven't been discussing this with other parents for a while too.

Thanks, zeemimi. Btw, is your child still in KCPPS?

Can Guangyang even make up 1 class? Why don't they just close the school and pass the resources to the other 3 so they can have more seats?

Out of curiosity, how come this school is so undesired by parents?? So different from Guanghua (Kong Hwa) :?

:? Lack of publicity? Lack of good principal and teachers? Even after P2C Supp, it is still not full... maybe it will eventually be filled with foreigners at Phase 3.[/quote]a few years back there was this GEP boy who was in the news for some achievement. (can't remember what). but i remembered it was reported he was from Guangyang fr Pri 1-3.

I don't think it is lack of good principal and teachers, but just that the other 3 schools comparably have a much longer history. GY is overshadowed by all these 3 schs in Bishan.

Should i say that GY is a bit like another school in the east which has many foreign students? Just that the make up of the foreign students are different for GY.

Today is last day. We'll know the final number after 4.30pm. MOE will update by 7pm today. Think less applied coz 2C is last chance to enter the good schools. Those who dun want those schools left at Phase 2C Supp gotta try for the 2nd choice good schools now.

Sigh… looking at the number is like looking at stock market. Now I still can’t decide if I should take a safe bet to register at a school at AMK or risk 2C of balloting at KCPS or CHS. Can only pray hard now for a sign…

So sorry, some silly questions. Why are there still vancanices in 2C? :? Why can't they give all the seats to the 2B?! :lol:


Would you PV or RC in Pei Chun & Ai Tong? Am staying 1 - 2km. what are my chances? :?:

You don't have much time left. Only try CHS if you can accept ds going to a neighborhood school with places left at 2C Supp. Try KCPS if probability is higher for you. The good AMK govt schools also fill up by end of 2C. Good luck!

It's MOE rule that 2B and 2C will share what ever seats left after Phases 1 and 2A. 50-50. For eg, CHS had 18 seats after Phase 2A2. So 2B would have 9 and 2C another 9. It is to be fair to those who cannot PV, serve as grassroots or not church member etc. Free for all citizens and PRs.

As for PV question, you can forget Ai Tong if you are not within 1km. Pei Chun conducted balloting for 1-2km at Phase 2B this year, so got chance.
