[Choa Chu Kang] Primary Schools

[xjysg]

mama_g:

I called up CCKPS and confirm that they did not post their PSLE result but i read somewhere that they do produce top sch of 275 and above.


I am less than 1km away from SV, but rejected as PV for my DD P1 in 2012. My DH is an ex student from princess elizabeth primary school (any comments on this sch??).

Should i chose:
1. PEPS but need to travel quite far and pay monthly school fees of $100 (i have anothet DS born in 2007)

2. Go for ballotting for less than 1KM in SV??

3. CCKPS or concord??

Any advice please.........

mama_g, I was in a similar situation like u 2 yrs ago. What I did was to register in 2B in the school in Bukit Batok and then monitor 2C. Balloting was up for the CCK school near my place and I decided not to risk the chance. However, I decided to drive my boy to school as the bus came more than an hr earlier than if I drive him; pickup was at 11.10am! Thank goodness that COEs were cheap then and I got a second-hand car cheap. Eventually, I managed to get him transferred to a school in CCK bcos we waitlisted and we were lucky to get a spot; someone else staying in my area went thru' the same route. It all depends on if you are willing to risk giving up a secure place to ballot for something uncertain and how willing are u to travel that far...

I live >2km from SV but <1km from Yew Tee Pri. Also got rejected from SV for PV so SV is definitely out. Yew Tee definitely also needs balloting for <1km although chances of success should be higher than SV for me.

I know Princess Elizabeth Pri is one of the more popular schools in BB but not sure if it is the best. I have compared their PSLE results and seem to me to be just average. Bukit View Pri seems to achieve much better results.

CCKPS doesn't seem want to reveal their results but is the backup school for those who failed to get into SV.

Hi all,


Anyone knows the PSLE 2010 results for CCK Pri?I don't seem to be able to find out any info.

Yew Tee Pri and South View Pri have their results available on their websites. Seems to me that the results are comparable, with Yew Tee Pri doing better in some subjects and vice versa.

Thanks!

personally to me, i will see which school offers me a better chance of entry because both are popular schs in CCK. I think SVPS phase 2C is very very competitive.

For me, SV is definitely out since I live >2km away, unless I move house before the P1 registration next year!But I am pleased if could my kiddo could get into Yew Tee Pri.

My view is SV is a good neighbourhood school and has good publicity but not significantly better than other schools in CCK. To me, Rulang is a really excellent \"neighbourhood\" school.

Hi,

We are pretty much in the same situation. Are you still living in CCK Cres?
I am a PV at BPPS and aiming for Phase 2B but highly likely to need balloting or even no chance for balloting as there are too many PVs. Both Yew Tee and Unity also within 1km of where I live. My own preference is to go Yew Tee as I think it is also a good school (not too sure about Unity but seems not too bad either). Both Yew Tee and Unity need balloting as well..sigh

If you confirm eligible for 2B then can try first but not guarantee. If not,then not much choice and need to try luck at either Yew Tee or Unity.

bpps is the parent sch…so sure will get a seat. But i was concerns on the distance need to travel…do you have any ideal on sch bus timing on pick up…


I have checked the yew tew and unity, both need ballot in past record and both are good school. problem is the risk…if cant get, the only choice will be Kranji…which i dnt prefer to go there…(read from the mail, there is change in principle, how the result, any comment?

So yours will be Phase 2A2.If I were you, I will go for BPPS as it is confirmed. Distance wise, it is not near but not too far either. Perhaps you can go for waitlist in either Yew Tee or Unity and tranfer out of BPPS.

hi, thanks…


Do you know how to be waiting list of Yew tew or unity? Are we allow to put them in 2 sch? i think a lot parent may come after me to bit for their seat…

Normally is this done before start of class or transfer after sometime in class?

Hihi,


May i know how to go about asking about PV at DLS? I just found out that they have moved to Teck Whye Crescent which is within 5-10 mins walk from my home. I’m still trying to grasp and understand more of Singapore’s education system, my DD born in end 2007 and now I’m feeling the STRESS as I found out that parents r queueing overnight just to register into Nanyang Kindergarten!!!

Hi beebeemum,


If i not wrong, DSL is still base on yew tew at location for balleting. They are shifting back by 2012.
