JJJmom:

Hello…anyone has any idea will there be ballot chance for phase 2B outside 2km for CHIJ Toa Payoh? Worth trying? Or give up and go for CHIJ OLN? May end up ballot within 1-2km in OLN if TP unsuccessful

Hi JJJmom, I wish I could be in your position ... at least my choice would be clear. Without hesitation, I would choose OLN because of its distance and don't have to subject to the ballot stress! Looking at the take up rate at TP, I think there is going to be balloting for more than 1km.

If you are within 2km to OLN, you can consider Holy Innocents. My cousin is a teacher in the school and she is filled with praises for HI. Unfortunately, Hougang is too far and I don't want my girl to spend too much time travelling.

Very stress leh, still no feedback from anyone on Cedar Primary! Looks like nobody knows about this school.

how are the chances for Maria Stella for Phase 2C within 2 km ? I tired to call the school but they say they are very busy and don’t have time to check for me.

HI is also a popular sch..remaining 90 vacancies for phrase 2B and 2C..therefore highly likely balloting is needed for 1-2km.
I m also keen to know more abt Cedar Pri..I think this is a mixed sch and is not affiliated to Cedar Secondary sch right?
What abt Kheng Cheng and First TPY Pri?

My first choice is CHIJ (TP) - hopefully no balloting required for <1km under 2C. 2nd choice would be Marymount Convent.

Hi there, any feedbacks or comments about Marymount convent? Seems very secluded up the hill at Marymount road. Have quite a fair bit of seats which I think under 2C does not require any balloting >1km. appreciate any feedbacks in this school.

Hi Bebe,
Cedar Pri has no affilation to Cedar Sec. Your chance to CHIJ TP is good since you are less than 1 km. You don't have to worry. Is Marymount Convent good?? I may have to consider this school too.

I din get much feedback on Marymount Convent..very low profile sch..but I was told that the sch has a strong parent-teacher network support. I think the sch is comparable to CHIJ TP..both are equally strong in language and music...however CHIJ TP has affiliated sec sch..and CHIJ TP location is better..for me I find transport an issue for Marymount Convent..dat place is indeed secluded..reminds me of nursing home..

Rdgs,

My fren's daughter is in it, havent heard any violent complaints and knowing how fussy my fren could be, I think this school should be good. Well, I didnt ask him about her academic results but she is a very well behaved girl.
