[Bishan] Primary Schools

Furma, you should monitor how many register at P2B to gauge your chance, esp if you are within 1km. I'm always advocate of registering at a sch nearest to home.

Thanks for advice. I am still following through with my plan, ie. if get shhk letter, will still go AT to check for the number of applicants within 1km and then decide whether to take the risk. Praying for a miracle

The only good about CH is affiliation to sec school.

i stay within 1km, thought of applying for PV at AT next year. Looking at the current result, is quite impossible to get it. 2 years down the road, Grand Thomson address can be use… even more competitive.


Is there proprity over PV to clan members at Phase 2B since PV put in time and effort ?

Ai Tong is so hot this yr! What are some of the school's strengths ?

Amongst SHHK'S pri schs, it ranks no.2 after Toa Nan. Learn HCL frm P1 onwards so MT more all less resolved.

Currently, both PV and clan members are both under Phase 2B. The priority will be given to within 1km for each phase.

for P2B - schools with (Hokkien clan, church Methodist clan, Catholic clan, RC leaders, PVs) all thrown into the same common pool - all equal chance. Hence, there is no such thing as PVs more priority over any clan. All equal chance, based on distance.


based on this yr Rulang experience, hot popular Tier 1 schools ballot, < 1 km. those stay within 1 to 2 km very risky, may not even get the chance to ballot.

those stay > 2km most risky.

but if you talk about Tier 2 popular schools, maybe still got chance, for those 1 to 2 km, or > 2km.

Not only SHHK's schools take HCL fr P1. Even neighbourhood schools offer HCL to P1 students whose chinese are stronger. At lower pri, the difference between the HCL and CL syllabus is not much, really.

Just saw this info somewhere.....


Apparently Bishan CC Women's Executive Committe (WEC), together with GYPS will be organising a http://www.guangyangpri.moe.edu.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=271&Itemid=308 on this Sat 9am at Bishan CC (nearby Junction 8).

It is part of GYPS's community outreach programme and is free for all residents if you register it http://www.guangyangpri.moe.edu.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=271&Itemid=308.

Good for those parents who prepare their kids for next year P1.
