[Jurong West] Primary Schools

[Brenda10]

I think the next three years the P1 registration would be even more competitive. HDB has offered a total of 9,844 new BTO for the first seven months of this year and is prepared to offer more if demand from the 1st timer is sustained.

and there will be lesser places in Phase 2C as there will be more places taken up in Phase 1 with siblings in the school too! All the Phase 2C this year are the first born... and if they have siblings...

For me is that school is very near to my home & convenient too. I don't wish to travel far. Its very tiring. its true huge number of HDB flats.

Yes, I agreed, who dun wan kids to be in RGS or NYPS if its nearby, but when they start to have ECAs, believe their time spent in school and travel will be as good as working adults. Have to minimise travelling time for them.

Yes, beside being surrounded by huge no of flats, partly is because out of a few schools in Jurong West Ext area, WG is still the better one. Not sure if the principles of other school has any plan to \"strive to do better\" after seeing WG so very hot... Its obvious that students in WG tends to behave better as compare to the others. My hubby caught some XX pri sch students hiding near our block, smoking away in uniform! The other XX pri school's students always caught loitering around the nearby HDB flats, causing major littering problem, shouting and playing after sch hours etc...

I once saw a group of this xx pri sch students, outside my mum house (she stayed at the highest floor), folding paper planes and \"fly\" down from the corridor. I went out upon hearing some noise and threaten to ask for their names and which school they are from (though from their uniform i know)... then they quickly pack up and left. Sigh...

Students are mobile advertisement , they are highly effective in causing the school's reputation to either sow high or go bottom low.

Just curious... :?


Why are so many parents willing to take the risk with West Grove??

Seems like the school is even more popular than Nanyang... or maybe it is also becos of the huge number of HDB flats around!

I agree. I think the dense population of HDB flats there is the main contributing factor. These are relatively new flats with many young couples and thus the age of the kids will be around the same age.. the trend is likely to stay for the near future. IMHO

The spillover from WG + JW = 301

The spillover WG + JW + Rulang + Shuqun = 431!!

Total vacancies for Phase 2C in Jurong West district = 1397

Total registration for Phase 2C in Jurong West district = 1343!!

There will only be a remaining of 1397 - 1343 = 54 vacancies in JW district at the end of all P1 registration :!:

There will be a crazy scrambling at Phase 2C supp.. oh dear...
