[Bishan] Primary Schools

Hi Parents,
Im staying at within 1KM from ATS, thought of applying for ATS for my boy next year. But after seem the numbers of vacancies only left 19 for Phase 2C just wonder should I take the high risk to reg my boy to ATS. I know the chance to get in is really super low, and im very very worried if I cant get in how...
Can Anyone advice me pls….. -
To be honest, why has intakes near these areas increase drastically?
It’s because of the new flats! The DBSS near CHS? Just this alone can kill. I’m baffled to why these schools dun want to increase their intakes. Even Maris Stella has 330 seats and it’s at ulu place. Why CHS has only 240 even though the area is high densely populated (after fighting for another new class to be opened).
Maybe they should use empty space to build more classrooms. -

I am in the same situation as u, applying for Nanyang for my dd under Phase 2c within 1km. If we did not try, there will always be this niggering thought of \"what if we had tried\". DH says \"just do it! everything boils down to luck now\". I am also feeling super, duper stressed right now. I can only wish both of us the best of luck :xedfingers: -

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
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.
Have you decided? -
In the case for balloting, if your chance is like 75% & above maybe would give it a try. If chance is like 25% I would suggest go for another primary school. You need to remember that once Phase 2C is over, the places left in Phase 2C Supplementary would be very limited.
Of course there would be some parents insist to be 100% safe in which not to avoid any balloting situation. Just get into another school as a backup. Looking at ATS with 19 places in Phase 2B is very daunting. -
Just a word to fellow kan cheong parents like me.
While I’m stressing myself to bits hoping my boy gets into my 1st choice school, my husband is so laissez-faire. He says the "best" school might not be the best one for our kids. Which is true I guess, at the end of the day, no matter what school, we will still help our kids to the best of their ability to excel.
So let’s not be TOO Disappointed if we don’t get into our 1st choice. Maybe our DDs or DSs will top the class in our next choice schools. Imagine what that will do to their confidence!
Good luck to all! -
No matter what top most important is PSLE. PSLE like a National Tournamanet.

My plan is to go look see tmr morning at AT n KCP and hope the answer will hit me like a ton of bricks. Ha Ha.
In the meantime, I have been chatting with some parents whose kids r at KCP n all say their kids are enjoying school. Arts is taught by NAFA teachers which impresses me. I have also combed this thread from page 1 and it seems that KCP generally gets positive feedback. For all the hype, no one has given any feedback about AT, only about how to get in -
Oh yeah and I purposely took the bus this morning that goes from my place to KCP to check out the timing and safety if dd has to take the bus when she is older. V do-able - about 20 to 30 mins and only cross the small road from the school to the opposite bus stop.
That's the end of my research
