Hi, hi, all parents here, i am new here, and my DD is 4yrs old, i am alrdy feeling the anxiety of preparing for P1 registration coz we hv to decide soon. My hubby is ex student fr Rulang Pri Sch (Jurong West), and is an alumni member so it means we definitely guaranteed a place there. However we are currently staying in Punggol, and if we decide to stay put in Punggol, we are near to MeeToh, but subject to balloting and volunteer work within 1km distance criteria.

We are currently in a dilemma, whether we should shift out of Punggol back to Jurong West to get into Rulang or start to prepare for volunteer work regsitration in MeeToh Pri Sch. Can any parents advise which school is better? how do i find out? Pls advise kindly. Thank you v v much!!

If you ask me, I will shift back to Jurong West...in the past, Jurong is very ulu, but now there is Jurong Point & IMM like what verykiasu mentioned. Since you are guaranteed of a place in Rulang, that is so comforting to know and definitely an assurance in today's unpredictable P1 registration.

Would like to seek opinion on which is a beta sch, Holy Innocents Pri or Nan Chiau Pri? I am considering PV at one of these 2 sch. For both sch, if i PV, both will be under phase 2B, 1 to 2 km.

Since u fall within 1-2 km of both schools, I think HIPS would be a safer choice. Becoz in 2010, u still need to ballot in Nan Chiau if u register under 2B and stay 1-2 km. Whereas for HIPS, only those staying out of 2km need to ballot for phase 2B.

my boy is k2 next year. we stay within 1km of CH, are catholics, so phase 2b. can also apply for maris but maris a bit further. will likely stay put in bishan or at most amk cos my girl in stnics.


shall i apply for 2b CH despite the slim chances judging by this yr results or try 2b maris 1st, then c if shd apply for CH at 2c?

If u think 2B for CH is slim chance, then the chance for 2C would even be slimmer, wouldnt it??

Why dont u submit ur PV application to MeeToh first? Actually 40 hours of volunteer work is easy to clock. I think if u want to uproot and shift to Jurong West, the amount of time and hassle to look for a place, renovate, pack, shift house, unpack etc will definitely work out to be more than 40 hours.

:?: I need some advice. Not successful in any of my PV application. DD is in RGPS and we live nearby but not within 1km of any of the schools along Bt Timah. Most of the schools around my area require balloting within 1km.


We are considering moving within 1km to a school in order to increase our chances of getting into the school. And since we have to make a move, might as well be one of the more popular schools. Can some kind soul shed some light on which of the following schools will provide a higher chance for securing a place for phase 2C within 1km?

ACS
NYPS
PHPPS

I looked through the balloting history but umm... blur so need some advice or suggestion.

Well backup school will be BTPS.

hint : study the population density of 1 km radius of each school you mentioned, and compare it with the rough number of vacancies under Phase 2c each year....no guarantee though

I assuming u doing this for ur DS?

Well NYPS definitely has the lowest chance. ACS u mean the junior or primary? PHPPS may be slightly safer since it balloted for 1-2km in some years only.

Why dont u try to apply for PV first and see which one accepts ur application? Then move to within 1km of that school??

How about Henry Park? If not mistaken, this year there is no balloting for 2C within 1km, right?

For ACS, whether it is Primary or Junior, there is a good chance for balloting within 1km.
