[Novena] Primary Schools

[hippo7457]

hi jesschan,


i'm new to this forum & saw your posting on balestier hill primary school. could you please tell me more about the academic performance of this school & their last psle results?

i'm moving to novena area & this school is not far away. other schools like scgs & chij (tpy) won't get a chance in phase 2c..........unless i try to get endorsed as grassroots volounteers or move again........

Indeed, the chinese standard is very low and standard so-so. but I'm keen to put my boy there cos we are catholics too.hahha.

Hi Smurf,
Are you within 1km or 1-2km? We are outside of 2km. Any idea how was the balloting for Phase 2B last year ie. how may applicants outside 2km vs vacancies left for that category? Thanks.

Hi Miracle child,


no, I dun stay near, in fact, I stay in the north.very far. If my boy takes bus, it will takes around 1.5 hour minimum.haha. but we qualified for phase 2A though.

I think you can check the balloting history from http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/novena.

Te chart shows that balloting for phase 2B >2km. so, if you are in phase 2B, and staying within 1km, chances of getting a place is quite high.:)

hi all


i need help to interpret this

http://www.scgs.edu.sg/downloads/misc/P1_Reg_Data_2008.pdf

i noticed that there were no distance differentiation for phase 2B at all. does it mean that there were no balloting for phase 2B?

i have an option to shift to a vacant relative's place within 1-2 km of SCGS. i plan to PV. my girl is attending P1 in 2013. how are my chances of getting into SCGS if i am within 1-2 km and I successfully get into the PV program.

will be grateful for any advice.

many thanks!

Yes, SCGS has had no balloting for the last 3 years for Phase 2B. But you need to check out from the school whether they accept PV first before you make any further decision.

Forget about apply 2B for scgs.. They dont accept PV if I'm not wrong.

Let me know if you call the school to check about the PV and let me know the outcome? Thanks.

Looks like you need to ballot if you are 1-2km in phase 2C. If can move to <1km, chances will be higher. You can forget about PV in SCGS to be in phase 2B. If you really want to go for phase 2B the only way is to do RC in that GRC.

hi


i understand that SJIJ does not accept PV. hence if am not catholic, nor am i living in novena, there is no way i can apply under phase 2B?

many thanks!
