hi

none of the school bus goes to serangoon area.

and in my honest opinion, balloting for phase 2B is very likely to occur for within 1km. thus, the chances for outside 2km is zero.

Hi all,


Like to check with the mummies or daddies who get their kid into TNS via the Shhk for last 2 years. May I know if is true that most of you got the recommendation letter from huay guan only after more than 40 hours of volunteer work? I am getting stressed up now as heard mostly are going about 80 hours !!

Really appreciate your comments !

Hello mummies,


I am staying within 1km from Tao Nan and will be registering my daughter under Phase 2C end July, coz didn’t do any volunteer work. Heard of TN going to relocate… any news of when, to where, and how long will they be relocated? Thanks.

There is no official news of relocation yet.


And it is not within the list of schools relocation in 2012 published by MOE yesterday.

So earliest would be 2013.

Thanks, Tankee


May I ask your opinion : Ngee Ann Primary school is 1.1km from my house. If you were me, will you go for TN or Ngee Ann? Considering also I also have 2 boys aged 2.5yrs and 8mths.

Joce

do you have a third choice that is acceptable to you & your spouse?

very likely that Tao Nan will require balloting in phase 2C for within 1km, and Ngee Ann may require balloting in phase 2C for > 2km.

So, if you & your spouse decided to take your chances and ballot for Tao Nan, be prepared to face a possibility that you would need to register at a third choice school. If you do not have a acceptable third choice, then safer to go for the almost sure bet Ngee Ann.

do monitor the registration situation at both schools closely on the last day of phase 2C and weigh your odds & make your call then.

Ngee Ann is a good school, and definitely less stressful than Tao Nan. I know someone with a child in each school.
