Hi Chipmunks!

I remember you said your child qualifies for Phase 2A2 in RV, right? You not going to register at RV first?

Ya I should be aiming RVPS at 1st choice but quite afraid that at Phase 2A there would be many enrolled then I in Phase 2B would be in dangerous situation.

If that is the case then have to try RMPS as in thier Phase 2A, these are not much that would come in.

You going on 1st day of Phase 2C?

qms, I will assess again just before phase 2A2. If there are too few places left at RM, I might go for RV.

titank, yes, 1st registration day either at phase 2A2 (RV) or phase 2C (RM), but I won't register for both schools at both phases - too much of a hassle to withdraw from RV if I have a chance at RM....

Hi Chipmunks,


Radin Mas have 270 places, so said 50% taken up in Phase 1 would left at 135. Assuming 2A have 5 applied left 100.

Consider another 30PV's also apply RMPS the residual places would be around 70. In the past, 1Km distance normally don't require balloting.

Guess it is either Phase 2A(2) or Phase 2C if you not going to make the hassle.

Thanks Titank & Qms for your advise.


My prefer sch will be RM. However, chances are I hav to go thru the balloting. This year the vacancies is only 240. When its P2C, the chances might be slim…

As what Titank adv, those who fail getting a place at RM & ZDP will go for P2C Supp at GES. Accourding to GES, they do hav a balloting under P2C supp last year. If my boy could’nt get a place a RM, I will hav to go GES under P2C supp. I might have to face the balloting again This is going to be headache and stressful period for me. Really in a diliema…

Therefore, would It be a better choice for me to go straight to GES. Perhaps the chances will of secure a place will be higher…

My another concern is the student care centre. I will let my boy attend the before sch care. I know that GES has a in house student care under YMCA. Anyone has more inform abt that student care? How abt student care under PAP located at telok blangah cc? Anyone has more inform abt PAP student care? Acutally i’m keen in Christian base student care centre. Anyone know any centre at this area?

Hi Rene,

One of my neighbour have the children being placed in the Student Care at GESPS.From what she told me Christain base student care won't be that bad as compared to others.

Yes better to plan proper strategy whether to head to GESPS in Phase 2C.
My neighbour last year did not try Zhangde Pri & Radin Mas Pri as both of them required her to have balloting. She head straight away to GESPS for Phase 2C & end her headache even where she is just within 1Km from GESPS.

Once people had failed balloting in Phase 2C, Phase 2C Supplementary become more intense.It is like \"没鱼虾也好\" where schools like GESPS, BRPS, QPS or NTPS all suddendly become \"抢手货“

Guess if I had not done PV on RMPS or RVPS, then I would try my luck balloting at RMPS or ZDPS. Worst I still had GESPS where I'm within 1Km where generally quite safe.

There is an open house at GESPS on 4 July, go there & check it out.

Hi


Thanks Titank for your adv. My concern is that whether GESPS is it good or not? If you tell people around…it seem that it is not that impressive…I’m rather worry that I might make a wrong choice…

[titank]

If I'm not wrong, GESPS is just an average performance good but in the areas of sports is quite strong.


You may want ask lill where she can tell you more about GESPS.

[Rena]

Anyone know what the vacanices for last year P1 registration for GESPS. Is it the same as this year , 240 ?


Hi lill, are you able to share more abt GESPS?
