haha, if you happen to be in between the 2 schools then there is no diff...kabalevsky:
wah, you are smart!
but JWPS still far for me. it'd be like CPS, so no point for me lei. it's not near enough to walk, so still need transport.
congrats to you, can be relieved now.
These two schools are just < 100 meters fr each other if i m not wrong , pass by both almost every day, I mean jwps and the new school . It must be some reason that u choose to ballot at the new school rather than choosing jwps
for me, i am very near Frontier but not JWPS. i can walk to Frontier but can't do so for JWPS.
the other reason is because JWPS has afternoon session while my kids are morning people. so I choose only single session schools.
i have nothing against JWPS. purely personal conveniences that i am considering here.

SAHM2KIDS:
seems too optimistic , was told by my neighbor who is a teacher there, that the chance is rare coz the main problem is not the classroom nor the facilities, but the lack of teachers and manpower,
By 2013. Upgrading will be completed by next May. -
kabalevsky:
nope, i am not in btw nor near , just i always take pioneer north to AYE rather than jalan boon lay as it has less traffic so I have chance to pass by both almost every morning and afternoon. To me they are very closed to each other so i am wondering ... so to u, probably is that u may need to cross the road am i right?

and what’s more, i am not promoting any school, as i said, just curious
and in fact as i pass by JWPS for nearly 12 years since I moved to this area around 1999, when most of the HDB flats here were not fully sold, i observed the traffic near this school getting heavier and heavier, especially the recent years it can be described as "terrible". I believe it must be around the dismissal time at 6pm-6:30pm, there are lots of cars illegally parked along the road side and lots of ppl do not use pedestrian to cross the road. Seems the new school will face the same problem i bet. -

it's a problem not just for JWPS. for any school in Sg if there is no bay or drop off point, or if the roads are just too small but there's a lot of other traffic, there'll always be a jam.and what's more, i am not promoting any school, as i said, just curious

i used to pass by Bt Timah and Dunearn stretch of Rd everyday to go to work too. And the school start and dismissal times are always a nightmare for us. Especially if it is raining, the car queue from RGPS and NJC combined will stretch from far inside Linden Dr to outside along Bt Timah Rd, jamming all those who want to keep left to turn into Adam Rd. Residents of Watten Estate always curse and swear when they need to come out.
SCGS, ACS down the way nearer to Newton Circus also very bad.
The other side at MGS, HCI, NYPS, is the same thing. And I use that to go home everyday too.
At Kings Rd where NYPS is, they even restrict traffic from entering during school dismissal so people like me and my colleagues who are going to eat lunch have to make big detours.
At least at JWPS or Frontier, they don't close the roads to public during those times, so I'll just bear with it. Most probably I will walk to school with ds (IF i get in after balloting!), only if it's raining then I'll use the car.

Dec:
Just wondering how come 2 PV from West Grove withdraw? People like us must fright for a place!
Is it really from Phase 2B?
Could it have been earlier phases?
