[Hougang] Primary Schools

[MMM]

July:

same. my gal was born in 2005 & i plan to register her in HIPS under phrase 2C next yr & i stay within 1KM. Im starting to get worry about the balloting & such esp its my 1st time registering P1. theres not much choices in school at my area. either HIPS, CHIJ *did consider b4 but my 2nd child is a boy so would prefer mixed sch* or punggol pri. hougang pri & xin ming r way too far for me.

Xinming and Hougang pri are way too far for you???? Probably not walking distance but I believe these school are not far off for those within 1km of HIPS???? :?

i mean as in not within 2KM. so definitely have to ballot & the chances of those more than 2KM will nt b successful

Anyone thinking of buying a unit at Minton since it’s so near PLMGS?


Heard it’ll not be ready for many years more though, e.g. only be ready in 2015 or 2017…

Heard on paper the TOP is 2017 but actual is projected at 2014-2015.

I heard from friends who are agents, many families buying Minton because of PLMGS (and apparently one of them said that it's within 1-2km to Maris Stella too but I'm not too sure because I did not check).

Did a quick check at http://www.map.gov.sg and Minton is within 1-2km to Maris Stella.

Hmm... They prob won't count that as my address for registration even if we've purchased but not living in it at time of registration right? Or if it's ready when dd is in P1 but not yet when registering?

So kinda won't be useful for being nearer than 1km if it comes to balloting, but I suppose will be useful to buy after we confirm getting in, for the convenience of just walking to school...

If you've purchased the property, you can use the the address of the nee place

Hi, I am due to register my son for P1 this year (2012 intake), just want to check on the 2 schools of my choice - Hougang Pri and Xinmin Pri.

Both are within 1 KM and I will be in Phase 2c. Furthermore, I am PR and would like some advise on my chance to get into any of the 2 school… Coz gov just started 2 ballot of Sporean as compared to PR.

Kindly shed some advise…

Please see past balloting history here: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/hougang

If you are neutral towards the two schools, your chance may be higher at Xinmin than Hougang.
