at the end of Phase 2B, SHHK schools stats are as follow


Ai Tong ........ vac 45 .. reg 65
Tao Nan ....... vac 82 .. reg 107 (figures from MOE)
Chongfu ....... vac 80 .. reg 96
Nan Chiau .... vac 75 .. reg 79
Kong Hwa ..... vac 55 .. reg 63

All schools will be balloting ... looks like SHHK very generous with recommendation this year

hello, any idea on the breakdown between those that do not need balloting and those that need?

I know only Ai Tong:

42 applicants within 1km all got in, so no balloting.
14 applicants between 1 and 2 km will ballot for remaining 3 places.

I also just heard that TNS will be moving out of its current premise to cater to upgrading for single session. I am staying so near to TNS and so sian that the kids gotta take school bus!!!!

I spoke to TNS about relocation today...they said that they are not even planning on it yet. And they will inform parents well in advance.

[/quote]Think this is their official response.

I have some friends who are teaching there and they confirmed that TNS will be shifting to Tampines in 2012.

[MMM]

Is this permanent shift or they will shift back to Marine Parade???


We’ve a property within 1km of TNS and to me, that’s a selling point.

They will move back to Marine Parade after the school has completed it's upgrading. Most projects will take 2 years to complete. [/quote]

Yes, estimated 2-3 years of relocation then shift back to current premise after upgrading.'

They will shift back to Marine Parade because the shift is only for upgrading/renovation works to accommodate the single sessions. TNS said that they need to build more classrooms.

hahaha.....yes that is a great selling point.

I got a property within 1km of Chong Fu as well and my current one within 1km of TNS. I wouldn't want these schools to shift anywhere!

Yah… the 1km was a plus point when we bought this place as my parents used to stay just opposite TNS (those flat behind the CC) and they just love the area so we needed to get them a new place that is in that vicinity. Just read on this website that the price for the HDB flat has gone up but not sure if that applies to original state.


Our own place is within 1km of HIPS and 1-2km of Rosyth (unintentional at that point) but I gather it’s always good to own property within 1km of popular schools.

If SHHK issues the recommendation letter for Phase 2B of P1 registration, will they send to all 5 Primary Schools under their care, or just to one, and do we have a choice on which one?

You need to indicate your primary school choice on the application form for recommendation under Phase 2B i.e. you can only indicate one primary school that you intend to apply.
