I remember 2005 kids are the first batch to get baby bonus. Not too sure if this has contributed to the situation. There is another new school building at Jurong West Street 71, just opposite WG. Hope the new school will accept enrollments in 2 years.

Err.. but in our Birth rate thread this is what I found posted in 2008
(http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=395)

Life births in
2003 : 37,485
2004 : 37,174
2005 : 37,492

The increase was not that significant (318).. unless all the increase are located in JURONG!! :lightrod:

may somehow true leh, coz i know three of my colleagues bought house in this area recently, maybe compared to area like queenstown, the housing price in this area is still affordable ,

Yes either that or you can base your decision by calling up the school...

Some schools have boards indicating number of applicants based on the distance breakdown.

That is very informative , indeed, but not all the schools?

There are always exceptions... unfortunately..

I am saying for FPS.... I am saying maybe ppl dont wanna take risk for balloting in far away schools like Xingnan, Juying and CPS thats why they stay put which is nearer to thier house ie FPS and thats why higher rate lah

That's true..

Thank alng for the update!

You registered for West Grove? What is your plan B?
Chances of getting into west grove is about 40%...very stress now if can't get in don't know which school to try.:(

Is it advisable to withdraw from West Grove and try Frontier?
