Just wonder why only NC is popular. Compassvale also produces top scorers in the PSLE too. According to their newsletter in yesterday’s Open House, last year’s top 3 scorers achieved 260 & above.

Precisely.. actually my wife is a PV at Compassvale, but we stay 1-2km away. We have to decide if we want to take up at P2B.. in 2 days' time.

NC is less than 1km, not sure if it is equal or better (other than the distance). However, this will be P2C, and chances are slim (I am always not good with lucky draws :slapshead: )

We are actually still debating whether to go for Compassvale or NC... or even Anchorgreen, also within 1km (a neighbor told me his girl in there very relak one)

We may end up screw up and lose everything if we don't go for Compassvale, but something in us tell us we should also consider NC :scratchhead:

Same here. We did PV too at Compassvale to avoid the 'lucky draw' at phase 2C, lol. Will be going down to register later. There are 40+ PVs so shouldn't have any phase 2B balloting.

Whatever is ur choice, best of luck to u

U would hv considered what u want for ur child & what is suitable in terms of logistics, sch culture & environment, learning pace etc.

At this pt, not v much u can do except perhaps to register at Compassvale 2B then wait & c vacancy of NC's 2C to evalute ur chances b4 deciding if worthwhile to switch. For the past 2 yrs, 1/3 kids had gotten their slots at 2C.

If i am staying within 1km of Nan Chiau and member of the Hokkien Clan, what is the percentage of my daughter securing a place at the school? Anybody still didn’t manage to get in though with the above advantages?

Did u manage to get the recommendation from Hokkein clain. If u have, u falls under phase 2b, <1km. So far, no balloting require.

In my opinion, there is no guarantee. The scenario changes every year so it can be worst or better.

But based on what I read, it will only get tougher. Currently, citizens compete with PRs at grassroots & PV areas, but with proposed changes to accepting PRs (with hokkien root) as SHHK members, it is more competitive right back to Huey kuan's volunteering...(got time no chance)...

WCW,

Can’t tell yet. There could be the SHHK members or GRL too.
Only 1st day, some parents may see the number and feel that they have a good chance and switch boat.
