dtks:

fyi, Pei Chun just posted a notice today on PV.

They must be getting swamped with 2 many enquiries... at least they r more upfront on the PV registration timeline now... have to start registering for PV before your child is 4 yrs old....

Hi all


Happy New Year!

Does anyone knows that for Pei Chun Public, besides PV and Grassroot, any clans associations' member entitled for Phase 2B?

I don't think religion organisation is applicable here since Pei Chun is not a mission school, correct me if I am wrong.

Many thanks.

According to their website, \"Members of Hainan Huay Kuan do not qualify for Phase 2B.\"

I took the courage to call the school today and they say they do not accept any clan association for P2B…

Balloting would depends on whose address you are going to use right? If you ask your mil go moe to soompa to use her address, then whatever schools that falls within 1km will be grouped with the 1-2km range when you register your child.

Generally St Gab's in Serangoon no need to ballot at 2C for within 2km but no guarantee lah. Lor 8 is within 2km if I'm not wrong. Some of my friends say the sch not bad.

In TPY, if Pei Chun cannot, think some people would prefer Kheng Cheng. Most of Lor 8 is within 1-2km of Kheng Cheng. If not, then doorstep is First Toa Payoh. If not, then no more sch for boys liao.

You can also observe St Andrew's and Kuo Chuan depending on which part of Lor 8 she's at.

Good luck.

thank you for your suggestions!


i find St Gab too far for my mil and going thru boys school myself, prefer not to send my son to a one tat is a mission cum boys school.

can give me more info on kheng cheng and first toa payoh? my mil told me tat there will be a new school, guangyang in bishan too. how do these schools compare?

not really heard abt them myself

Actually I would consider st Andrew bcos it is affiliated to sec sch and takes in all the boys from Junior. Seeing PSLE standards becoming tougher each year, I wanted to minimize stress by registering my younger one in a school with affiliation.

lol, maybe its just me. but if my son cant even do well enough in his psle to get to a sch of his choice, then maybe he shouldnt be in schools where he got to go thru backdoor.


i prefer a school where the learning culture is not too bad, and he can learn and develop at his pace. pei chun is actually my 1st choice, but im afraid its too popular for me. so trying to find a good 2nd choice so tat i dun have to waste time and risk rejection
