Hi Tulip,


I am a newbie too…but have been following the threads closely …can you or other mummies who has kids in KCPPS also share or pm me the strengths and weakness of KCPPS?

And did anyone choose KCPPS becos of its sec school & SAJC ? Are the sec & JC school relatively good? Thank you !!!

Hi smurf! u will be registering yr son in cat high under 2B this yr? Me too...have u seen the take up rate in phrase 2A1 yesterday...stress! :scared:

[smurf]

my boy register next yr, very stress now as I've just sold my place and not sure whether to move to within 1 km of cath high. if cannot get in, then move already quite wasted, cos we didn't lke the houses there and also very expensive.

1. If unsure, take a gamble - if you buy the house at a high price, chances are that you can sell at a high price to parents going the similar route as you next time (assuming that cath high didn't move out of that area anytime soon).
2. If don't want to take the risk, go for another safer alternative.

dun want to keep moving lor...and we saw 1 house that we like but of cos not near Cath high, it's very rare that that area is selling andwe dun want to miss the opportunty to buy...thats why now monitoring the 2b data closely now...if just left 20 seats for 2b, may not even try to buy a house there.

Not likely. I live right next to CHS and saw that they recently had a renovation to the school field and other areas.

:? Are you buying to get closer to school to reduce travel time or are you buying <1k for priority registration? 2 different things and considerations for either are not entirely the same. To each his own I guess, but I personally would not compromise family finances for the sake of getting a better chance at a ballot, a bit like the dog wagging the tail.
