[Tampines] Primary Schools

[AZ020970]

Poi ching school also need balloting for the past years, that is what i know. Same as Gongshang and SHPS. As this 3 school is super popular in tampines area.


So if you unsuccessful in Tampines Pri, no hope in Poi Ching either.

For Tampines Pri, as past record, so far no balloting needed for that school, as this school is not as popular yet.

Since you stay 1km within Poi ching School and keen on that school, i think you can try that school first and if unsuccessful try Tampines Pri, but hopefully tampines pri still have vacancy. If not, you are losing both good school. You must think carefully which school to register for DD, and confident that you can get in to that school. It better have one than nothing.

You can see all previous thread regarding Poi ching if you want more info.

Are you registering you DD this year?

Thanks for the info.


Poi Ching and Tampines Pri are both 1-2km range. Only GongShang and Tampines North is within 1km.

Yes, at the moment based on the 2010 in-take, there was no balloting required. But PoiChing need balloting for P2C.

Nope, I am not registered this yr. My DD is 2007 bb… should register in 2013?

Thanks for the info.. I think I should not take any risk. Will opt for Tampines Pri since is single session. Easier for DS when he needs to attend sch too.

You are in Phase 2C even you are within 1-2km.. I am in the same state as you too.

These 3 schools are very popular and limited slots available for Phase 2C. PV is Phase 2B. Even PV also needs balloting.

I stay within 1 km Chongzheng primary. But around 1-2km from Gongshang. I am more interested in Gongshang. Am I wasting my chances if I go to Gongshang for my first round?

Btw, which school is more academic?

If you are talking about P2C, yes, you are wasting your time and chance.

Even Chongzheng required balloting for those within 1 km last year. So, perhaps you would like to have another backup plan?
