[Jurong West] Primary Schools

[hyundai9]

I know what you mean. The registration was very frantic yesterday. We were not allowed into West Grove to register until it threatened to rain. There was a very big crowd.

I had a chance to speak with the VP. She told me that the staff helping in the registration are not Frontier staff. MOE has appointed officers to help the school as Frontier’s staff has yet to be posted in. It seems that the teaching team has already been identified and will only be released to the school later. The team is supposed to be experienced teachers and they only have 1 fresh teacher from NIE. The nos of teachers, I am told, is about 18, and so the ratio teachers to pupils look very good.
I was told that if we are within 1km of Frontier, the place should be confirmed. Keeping fingers crossed! Anyway, I am excited and I really hope I don’t have to ballot.

My friend reach Frontier around 10am and his number 184 already so i think 227 is correct. :faint: But he is within 2km, heard that some are beyond 2km also register for this school. :roll: Wonder where they stay?

those that are ,2km will probably (my own opinion) are those staying near Rulang or Shuqun and they do not want to take the risk in the balloting....

My DD2's classmates are 1-2km registering at Frontier am also worrying and am hard.

LKVM:

I am thinking I hope they have registered for the correct school... cause if I am not wrong the registration for Frontier is done in the West Grove and I hope parents didnt get confused?(just joking)

Else its too difficult to think when all the other schools have seats Frontier is almost full... its kinda scary??
So either the last day there will be too much of withdrawl or changes...

:yikes: :faint:

LKVM:

Thats an excellent news.. finally gahman heard us and Jurong having more schools.. I just hope they dont cut the seats from the current one to fill the new ones like this time

Yes, I was shocked to see the registration updates for Frontier Pri on the website! :yikes:

:xedfingers: for my DD2's classmates registering there as they fall under the 1-2km category so a bit dangerous...
