[Jurong West] Primary Schools

bingjun.g:

Anyone knows whether Frontier got PV for next yr registration? not heard, right?

I doubt so. Since the teachers are not there yeat and the school premise is not fully constructed yet, the first batch of PV would most likely be for 2013 instead. JMHO

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...

:scared: :faint:

i am really curious at how many of the 277 are within 1km... looking at the # in WG, i can't imagine how many 2012 P1s there are in that area!!

seems that this new school is getting lots more support than the existing ones :scratchhead:

Yes, RRMummy - what I know of as in those of DD2's classmates parents that have registered in FPS - they would rather go for a brand new school than to have (sure have as they predict) in WGPS!

But after seeing the updates in MOE website yesterday, they also start to worry and come up with their back-up plan. Really a nerve-breaking time for them and I can only :xedfingers: hope for the best for them. :rahrah: :rahrah:

I suspect ppl kiasu mah.. so register first then wait n watch... just my opinion lah.. thats why I said there will too many changes on the last day in Jurong!!

:rotflmao: I remembered during my DD1's time (Y2008) - a mutual friend stationed at school A and hubby at school B. Then both talked on the hp on the number of registration for that day! :yikes: Then at 4.30pm, friend told hubby to come over to school A as seem the chance of not balloting in school A is higher!

But am happy for this mutual friend that her DD is already in P3 and happily studying in school A! That's the most impt of All! :rahrah: :rahrah:

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

I just know that I'm going to be stoned for this..

Actually, if we do the sums.. in order to be single session, 20 classes need to be built to cater for the 10 classes of P1 and P2s, respectively. This year they cut one class.. meaning by 2 years time still need 18 classes. Assuming the schools are surrounded by HDBs already and have no room for expansion, I can only guess that the cutting of classes may continue for at least the next one or 2 more years leh...

I know some renovations are on-going but seriously 18 classes plus other facilities will need quite a fair bit of space..

So I kinda think that they did not cut classes in order to fill the new schools but rather a gradual move towards preparing for the final reduction in classes for the lack of space..

Okay, I'm standing behind my shield now.. let the stones fly..

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

Good luck to your DD2's classmate! :xedfingers:

if really can't make it to FPS then their back-up plan will be to join DD2!

Blessing in disguise?

I agree.. I'm actually more than a little surprise at the take-up rate. Didn't expect it would go through balloting leh.. :scratchhead:

Yes, GOOD LUCK to all under Phase 2C!! :xedfingers: :xedfingers:
