[Bishan] Primary Schools

Fur-ma:

Zeemimi, thanks for your views. It's true. I do feel that if I don't try, I will be looking longingly at AT for many many years.

Best of luck Fur-ma. Yes, getting that letter is not easy and you are really lucky to get it. If you choose to give up this chance to ballot, I am sure the other parents who are going to register next week will thank you as they have 1 less person to worry about

Fur-ma, I know how you feel now. I had gone through the same fears and anxiety years ago. You are at least of the luckiest to receive the SHHK recommendation letter. As for me, no letter given (no reason given) and that close my phase 2B chance. 2C was a nightmare and was ballot out. 2C(S) was my last hope and my greatest fear should this phase out- thrown again. Thanks God, he’s in for 2c(S). Another good news after a few months, I got a call from ATS and my kid transfer appln was successful.


KCPPS and Marymount are good schools that produce national results as well. Weigh your chances and the risk % and I am sure all is not end yet.

Thanks for the emotional support. Really appreciate all the comments and views from the members here. This goes to show that for all the planning in the world (and I have spent a lot of my time and energy to plan), there is always an element of luck needed at the end of the day. I need to come to terms with the fact that I cannot control every outcome

Ha Ha. Agree. Can't help seeing the irony of the situation. Parents like me who have plan B and take the less risky route by going for plan B are increasing the chances of parents with no plan B.

zeemimi:

maybe i should add that there is usually a great disparity between the numbers registered on day 1 and day 2 of Phase 2B for popular schs.


Many are monitoring and \"placing their bets\" last minute.

All the best to all P2B parents !!!! :rahrah:

Really? There's no way of telling then! So stressful, don't think I'll get any sleep til the end of next week when P2B results are out...

If it's any consolation to parents here aiming for ATS, I've decided to give up my place in P2A2 so there should be an extra place added to P2B

Haha... Wish it's for sale too! Can make lots of money :rotflmao: ATS is so hot this year.

I'm SUPER stressed too. My situation is, I live in Clementi, am old girl at ATS so qualify for 2A2. Unforunately, i only found out yesterday ATS is moving to holding campus in AMK 2013 for 2 years. I've a direct bus from my place now to ATS campus but not to AMK campus and the current journey now is 40-45min which is already a bit long I feel so AMK is out of the question.

If one kid I don't mind but I've 3! That is 3 kids times 6 years each of commuting. A bit siong right? I'm reluctant to move as I'm near many great secondary schools in Bukit Timah, NUS, polys etc.

I'm eligible for P2B at HPPS but I live 1-2km away and most prob will have to ballot this year.

Just discussed with my husband and have decided to take our chances with HPPS and give up ATS.

So there...

Rugby at Bukit Timah Primary :imcool:

If you feel the school is good, then don’t give up due to distance. Fyi, I stay in Queenstown and my boy goes to CHS, far isn’t it? But in actual fact, its only 15min drive away. And most of the time, we leave home later than those taking school bus to New Town Pri and guess what, they arrive home around the same timing.


The only problem is when they have CCA.
