There are 6 new schools being built...could MOE's intention be to reduce classes at popular schools so as to 'force' parents to register their kids at brand new schools ? There is a limit schools can expand.

Very likely.

It is already happening this year at Jurong West, with popular schools like West Grove, Rulang, etc
all reducing intake so as to divert students to the new Frontier Primary.

Which phase will your girl be in for the other schools?

Register with Henry Park first, and monitor the situation in other schools.

Secure a place at Henry Park. Remember to bring along all necessary documents.

Secure a place in Henry park first but I think distance maters a lot so come phase 2B you can monitor the situation and act accordingly

Hi ziltransformer,
My daughter is attending CHIJ TP (Phase 2A2) and not the same school as older boy (5 min walk away). I guess it's really a matter of personal opinion...don't have to worry too much what others think.

hi ziltransformer,


dun care what other people say. Henry Park is a very good school. Enter first, slowly then seek transfer to some other school.

alternately, you rent out yr current home. With rental income collected, rent a place nearer to Henry Park. When yr child finish PSLE, shift back to current home.

As parents, we know our kids best. Don't need to care nor think what others say. With schools reducing intake (Henry Park is reducing 1 class this year), secure a place first. In the meantime, gear your child up for P1. Nearer end of the year, then think of the transport issue.

hi ziltransformer,


Henry Park primary P1 got storybook review. Pupils are encouraged to read storybooks. After that write a simple, short book review, based on what they had read. Not many Primary schools got book review, at P1. HPPS is one of them. Even RGPS P1 don’t do this book review thing stuff. So for remaining half a yr from now, gear up yr child acquire good reading habits.

HPPS is an excellent primary school. So many parents so eager & anxious, can’t wait to enter. They purposely shift house to be within 1 km, just to try their luck in balloting. So, do not give up this precious place.
