Lionel, you are not the only 1. My hubby when heard need to ballot becoz of 2 more kids, he also said why not just take them in since its not like extra 10. Can save all the heartbreaks. And we are not registering until next yr. Anyone knws what happen if the kids within 1 km cant get in? Where exactly is the next nearest school for us? All the schs at bukit timah like need to ballot for less than 1 km. There are simply no backup plans unless moving away.

Yup, there isn't a single school in BT which doesn't require at 1km. If kenna balloted out, have to look at schools in Bukit Batok.

That shows more people are living in BT area despite the property prices are at record high. That also means more rich people in SG.

Erm, Bukit Timah Primary school is also a school.

Any reason why bukit timah primary school is the only school in bukit timah that doesn’t need balloting?

[cnimed]

No track record? It’s only been there for about 7 years I think? Probably can’t compare to the other established schools in Bukit timah. The rest are either SAP, or GEP, or have affiliations of all sort. Bukit Timah is the only one with no extras.

This school used to be called Bukit Batok Primary School.

so it changed name from buttock to timah, for name sake, to be the name sake

I think it's two schools merged into one and shifted over to its current premises. Anyway we registered ds there. No queue, no stress, no balloting cause it's not a hot school. Good or not - I really have no idea.
