[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[phtthp]

are there primary schools in Bukit Timah area that ask child to leave school, if the child can’t perform ?

[jeanieg]

Hi Mommies


I will be one of the many many stressed-out parents registering our kid for P1 for the first time this year.

I have a girl and I live within 1-2km from MGS, Keming, Pei Hwa and Bukit Timah Pri. I would like her to go to MGS but I have no other "advantage" to get in and from the looks of past stats, my chances are super slim. My second choice is CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace (though am out of the 2km zone) but been thinking maybe I should just go to Bukit Timah Pri… but no affliated secondary school leh… how?

Any advice from anyone?

If you don't mind the longer distance, I think CHIJ OLQP would be nice, as it has an affiliated secondary school. Based on last year's stats, they even had 1 place left at Phase 2C Supp, so if the situation doesn't change, you stand a good chance outside 2km at Phase 2C. In any case, you can still go to BTPS at Phase 2C Supp if your attempt at IJ OLQP fails at Phase 2C. Good luck!

Last year when I had to register daughter for P1, there was a parent who told me to try for CHIJ OLQP since it's nearer home...but I am old girl of CHIJ TP and not OLQP...so don't enjoy Phase 2A. Didn't see the balloting history of OLQP either. Why don't you check out last year intake and try for OLQP...still have Bukit Timah PS as backup.

Thanks for your advice citygirl and janetlee88.


I guess I am hoping against hope that I will stand a chance for MGS so will see how it goes when the time comes. My next choice will be CHIJ OLQP like you both mentioned and lastly BTPS. guess there is nothing else I can do except to wait and see!

MGS under Phase 2C requires balloting within 1km...has been so for the past years. So I wouldn't advise you to consider if staying more than 1km.

jeanieg,

Why not try PH if you are within 1km? Cos of affiliation?
