Hi

I am now very lost and very sad since yesterday balloting results.
I am less than a km away from Rivervale Primary which was registered at phase 2C. After the unsuccessful entry , we have to look for other schools but all around my area such as Mee Toh or Compassvale Primary are already fully occupied. Choices left with plently of vacancies are North Spring , Seng Kang Primary or as far as Greendale Primary at Punggol. The comments about these schools are not ideal . Should I try to ballot for Edgefield for phase 2C supplementary? I had not slept since yesterday as am very bothered about my girl to travel to the school.

What should I do?

Anchor Green is a new school, opened about 2 years ago. Heard alot of positive feedback about the school and the principal this year. I personally went to the school and also felt good about it.

If my balloting was unsuccessful yesterday, I would have register for Anchor Green in Phase 2C supp too.

school left with plenty of vacancies? then should not hv issue even at phrase 3, go for balloting if your heart can take it lor.

my comment is, regardless of the non-ideal comments, which school supposedly seems to match your criteria of CCAs, academic performance, culture etc? if you can’t decide cos there isn’t much significant difference, go for those that you are likely to get in after taking in consideration the travel distance. you are already at the second last stage of registration; either go for ballot and be prepared for Phase 3, or get Phase 2C supp done with and prepare for your kid’s P1 - there isn’t much choice left.

JMHO.

thank you…i registered Nan Chiau but unsuccessful…will go Anchor Green in phase 2C supp…

Remember that for Phase 3, you will be looking for schs together with foreigners, and it will be on a first-come-first-served basis. If you still cannot decide and take no action by then, MOE will decide for you and post your child to whichever sch is nearest to you and has vacancies.

I think these schools are not as bad as you thought... sometimes we hear too much sayings but in actual fact it's otherwise..

hm... have you think of Punggol Primary?

The next nearest for me is North Spring but wonder why still got over 100 vacancies. Is Punggol Primary good??

I agree with Jedamum...
...and maybe try to apply for your 1st choice school again for P2...

Dun loss heart. If you like Nan Chiau, can put your child’s name on the waiting list. Never know last minute somebody will withdraw.


Anchor Green shld be quite good. Hopefully Anchor Green won’t go into balloting in Phase 2C supp. But if you are within 1km, chances will be higher.

Good luck & all the best to you.
