Hi, I registered fo PV at GongShang in Jan 2011 but till now have not hear from them. Called them last month and they said they will only inform all applicants end May if their registeration is succeed? Is this norm?

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?

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?

Correction, I called up Gongshang. I am also within 1km. So which to go for? Gongshang or Chongzheng?

Hi Parents,


I am considering GongShang, Poi Ching and Tampines Primary School? Can I get advices about these 3 schools? especially in the areas of curriculum and character development?

Where can I find the average passing of PSLE in
Gongshang, Poi Ching and Tampines?

Thank you very much!!!

phase 2A for chongzheng pri or phase 2B for st Hilda (1to 2 km)

I’m within 1km from both St Hilda’s and poi ching,(actually much nearer to Poi ching)…my boy’s chinese is not strong though has been going for enrichment classes…is it ‘kamikaze’ to enrol him to Poi ching (nearer and more convenient)? Welcome all advices and comments!!! Thanks

If u didn't PV at St Hilda's, the chance of getting in is not high altho not impossible. There would be only a few vacanies left for balloting within 1km. But for Poi Ching, no need to ballot within 1 km for recent years. So if u don't go for Poi Ching, your child may have to travel further.

SHSS is too hot and popular to get into balloting. I would take the chance at Chongzheng instead.
