[Happy Mama]

thank you...now i have to find a school for my girl in bukit batok area...i am a Singapore PR and would greatly appreciate any recommendations for other schools in the area...

In Bukit Batok area, Ke Ming, Princess Elizabeth and St Anthony are the better schools.

I'm not too sure about Lianhua Primary but I do know that the school is very popular among the Koreans.

are there any schools in bukit batok that is within 1km of your residence?[/quote]

Lianhua is right next to where I stay…but not too sure how the quality is…I did try my luck with St. Anthony’s but was told to look for other options as i was out of the balloting process…

By the way, if you are 1km within Keming, you can still try....

All the best!

yasui1210,

have you made your choice?
in any case, my guess that Lianhua is popular with koreans is because some of them are just staying in the 2 condominium beside the school. then through expat networking, that may be how majority of them ended in Lianhua.
are there any schools within 1km from your school?
my take is that if staying >1km from Princess E, St Anthony or Keming, the other schools in Bukit Batok is relatively very regular. you may just want to look at what CCAs they offer (Bukit View’s emphasis is on asthetics, Lianhua’s Robotics, Dazhong and Hongkah i’m not sure as they seem quite low profile small school).

It's an old school, well established. That's why around 50% of the seats has been taken at the earlier stage. Yes, huge demand for it. Can check from MOE website here: http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies/#bukit-batok

If you're keen on sending your kid there, perhaps you can check w/ the school whether they hv PV scheme. (volunteering) so you can apply on stage 2B.
