Can you beat that? 4 out of 123 kids dun get a place and we are one of the 4. Even my maid said I better not buy any 4D or toto.

Both me and hubby were there and we were like :? really that suay?

Anyway, my next alternative will be Woodlands Pri or Sembawang primary.

Woodlands
Pros - 3 feeder bus services in 5 stops to school. Niece and nephew at the school
Cons - Balloting conducted for past 2 years for 1-2km (like me)

Sembawang
Pros - 1 feeder bus service in 6 stops to school. School website looks good and rather interesting for the children.
Cons - Rather far comparatively. Not much reviews heard about school.

Anyone with any advise?

Sorry to hear that sesame. It is very unfortunate that you did not get balloted in. Good to see that you are now focusing your effort on Wednesday's registration.

You mean u need to take 3 feeder buses to Woodlands Pri?

[sesame]

Sorry if I sounded misleading. What I mean is there are 3 direct bus services I can take to school. We will def let her take school bus, but this is planning in the event that in Pri 2, she will have extra classes, ECAs which will not be encompassed into normal school bus timing mah. Have to think along that line first.

Good thinking. It is important to consider the logistics in the long run.

The distance to Woodlands (5 bus stops) is really attractive. I suppose you are registering under grandparent's address.. But you will have to undergo another round of balloting...

Looking at the past year enrolment of Sembawang Pri, they have vacancies till Phase 3. So this can be a backup for you should you decide to ballot for Woodlands Pri but end up need to go thru Phase 3 (touch wood). http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/sembawang

But since this year there are so many schools that did not follow past year trend, you will have to monitor very closely on the second day of registration. If Sembawang Pri looks like it is going to be full after Phase 2C Supp then you will have to fall for your next backup..
