      My friend was very lucky… She got a call from the school just couple of days before the school started… She had to withdraw from the other school and buy new set of books and uniforms… She was really glad she had put her name in the wait list (1st on the waitlist)immediately after she failed to get a place during the balloting… Her hubby had even commented then that she wAs so kiasu. But I guess she had the last laugh and the the best laugh!

                  You should. That's what I did as well. My DD is still asking me today \"why other students get to go to this school, and why not me\"? :slapshead: 😢

                  So I told her that there are too many students enroled so let's hope along the way the school will call us when there is a place for her.

                  Hopefully we all have our wishes come through. 🙏 :xedfingers:
                  Close proximity is still our concern since we got balloted out of our preferred school which happens to be a very popular school.

                  I believe schools will look at close proximity, academic and non-academic results if required. It's not on a first-come, first-serve basis.

                    Need help!!


                    My Ds P1 is in CHS and is doing very well in class. (full marks for most tests).

                    I am thinking of transferring him to another popular co-ed school so that Dd can enroll in Phase 1.

                    Any advice?

                      Maybe u can try to call the popular co-ed school to know more information. CHS is around Bishan so your popular school is it Ai Tong? :roll:

                        hi jor,


                        CHS is very good school. everyone dying to get in!

                        even if you go Ai Tong or Nanyang primary - both these not affliated to Secondary, whereas CHS is. If can, stay put. So sad to hear you want to leave CHS, unless you’re shifting somewhere else. Next time with better PSLE, your son can choose to remain in CHS, or go RI / HCI / NUSH, etc.
