[Hougang] Primary Schools

[Ririan]

which school has a better chance of getting in, say if balloting is needed?

Holy Innocent’s (I stay within 1 km) or Hougang Primary (I stay 1-2km)?

Base on history, since you stay within 1KM from HIPS, you should be invovled in the balloting. For HPS, you dun even get to put your name into the draw (history says every year ballot for <1Km), you are too far.

Thanks so much for the advice HIPS currently has 56 vacancies but HPS has close to 100 vacancies if I am not wrong ..

Where can I find out the estimated number of applications for HIPS for 2C based on within 1km n 1-2km for the last few years. Looking at the grossly oversubscribed situations in many schools, I can't help but worry.

ya... going for HIPS cos I have one boy and two gals, so I must choose a co-ed school. Also, HIPS is the nearest school to my place, walking distance, and that is the most important factor. I don't want my kids to travel too far everyday ... but I am very scared of balloting

balloting is a daunting process.... what about HPS which you were mentioning. would it be your backup school if HIPS is oversubscribed?

It is daunting indeed! I am not sure if I should still consider HPS as it is 1-2km from where I live and I heard it is also balloting within 1km. sigh ....
