[Jurong West] Primary Schools

ChiefKiasu:

Yes, Shuqun will have its vacancies filled up by Phase 2C and may even require balloting for those beyond 2km. Do not use it as a 2nd choice if you are trying for Rulang.


Alternatively, why not go for Shuqun in Phase 2C? A bird in hand is worth more than 2 in the bush.

Thanks for your replies.

I just called Shuqun to find out the response but the lady who picked up the phone said that they will only key in the applications tomorrow after the close of registration and she said she has no information to provide. Really unhelpful.

And I called Rulang and they told me that they have over 100 applications and majority are within 1km.

I think I will try for balloting for Rulang and if that fails, try Juying or Shuqun (if Shuqun is available for 2CS) or evaluate the best option. I am praying very hard!!

I called Rulang this morning and the man sound so unfriendly, refused to reveal are all applicants within 1 km. :x

Maybe Juying since there have been nice comments from parents but that's a bit far. I also checked Jurong Primary which is nearer but they are also full....and that means JPP is not available for 2CS.

I will check MOE site tomorrow morning http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies/#jurong-west before deciding on my Plan B.

How did jurong west perform with their PSLE in past few years ?

I am considering to withdraw my application, many parents mentioned the principal is a bit clueless.

i onli heard comments from my frens who placed 2 of her sons there.. she says tat the teachers has been changed twice for one of the boy's class and its abit disturbing for the kids.. but den again cannot judge nor say tat the school is no good and yes.. the principal is.............. BUT overall the school is not bad i suppose and its very very HOT as in believe in the vicinity.. coz its very convenient

Like many parents, i'd say bye bye to JW, WG, Rulang... so left Xingnan, Juying, Corporation, Pioneer. To make the best out of it, hubby and I shortlisted Juying and XIngnan and went down to the school to take a look just now.


Juying's premises seems smaller than Xingnan. (canteen, outdoor field, office podium, carpark) It was the upper level recess time when I was there. Children were playing at the field, nothing rowdy The children also gathered at the canteen when the bell rings promptly. Teacher did nag about the children's PE attire though.

So overall, Juying's feel to us is tt its a typical neighbour school but with a cosy feeling (due to the smaller premises?), children are not too rowdy (even during recess play time). With the positve comment fr parents and being single session solved and assured most of my concern.

So, most prob, will bring my son tomolo and register to end the stressful P1 registration! Cheers!
