[Jurong West] Primary Schools

[Champion]

The heat is always on EVERY YEAR for primary school at Jurong West area whenever it comes to Phase 2B & Phase 2C registration.


Just my own opinion - please have at least back-up plans for whichever choice you are making...considering the distance traveling esp for P1 - the time spends on the road should be minimise.......

Good Luck to all and let's keep each other posted.... :rahrah: :rahrah:

Hi,

I see from the chart, it seem like Xingnan is getting more popular than West Grove!
Heard that West Grove has change their P or VP, not as good as before??
For experience mommy, do you think this year will have higher change to get into West Grove??

Dec:

do you think this year will have higher change to get into West Grove??

For my own opinion and analysis - Yes, there will definitely be balloting in West Grove...

it's clear cut.. tomorrow message is similar for those staying 1 to 2 km. They trying to pull students go Frontier new school. Who is the new P of Frontier - ex P or vice P from which school previously ? Let's hope that he can bring in the dynamic vision, relevant skillset and good leadership skills that Frontier needs.

先锋小学 sound like mad first, i don't like this chinese school name.

Rulang called for a meeting with those PVs who stayed > 2km this morning. Tomorrow is another meeting with another group of PVs. I just came from that meeting. The message is very clear. If you are not within 1 km, you will be unsuccessful at both phase 2B and 2C. It is stressed that the priority is to register for a school within 1 km in phase 2C.

:snuggles: so sorry for your situation alng :snuggles:

I suppose the situation this year has also shocked the school.. What is your plan now?

Results out for P2A2 12 July,


Rulang left 38 vacancies, meaning only 19 for P2B and P2C each...

Goodness, should we try our luck?

Anyone cares to comment? :?:

:yikes: :faint:

Err.. lakesidemum, if you are feeling extremely lucky and believe you would kick yourself years later for not trying then the answer would be a yes.. but..but.. you have to be prepared for the worst case scenario and have a sound Plan B.. The subsequent Phases would still be super tough..

Good luck! :xedfingers:

Well, hard to feel extremely lucky when there are only 19 vacancies with at least a 100 applicants. But then again, I don't wish to kick myself years down on why I did not give it a try....hence, all these headaches now.

Worse, no definite Plan B for now...

Hi lakesidemum,
My humble advice - you definitely must have a backup plan esp so now that Rulang left 19 vacancies for Phase 2C.

that's why i said \"extremely\".. it is a super tough fight.

You have 2 more weeks to research on your plan B.. good luck! :xedfingers:

[lakesidemum]

Thanks all, yes indeed if we decided to try our luck at Rulang, a Plan B.


In fact, we are considering Yuhua Pri, but it’s >2km away. Does anyone here has comments on Yuhua? Or anyone has Yuhua in your Plan B too?
