based on the chart, BVPS performed better in the % passes for standard subjects when compared to LPS.

do look at their choice of CCAs and distance when you are deciding on which to choose.
good luck.

Hi All,


We've got a place through balloting in Phase 2C. But so far, we haven't received any letter from SAPs. Anyone who HASN'T/HAS got confirmation letter from SAPs, kindly let me know. Coz I'm now so worried because just found following paragraph from MOE website.

When and how will I know the outcome of my registration?

You will be notified of the result of your registration by post, immediately after the school has conducted balloting (if required) and before commencement of the next phase of registration. You should check with the school if you did not receive any notification.

Hi, BonaFides


I think you should call up the school to find out. The notification letter should be sent to you in about 1 month after the registration date. Don't worry so much. I think it's just a matter of slight delay in sending the letter. But imho, you can always call up the school to find out & to have peace of mind. :)))

I don't really see much comments on Bukit View Pri. My registered add is near Bt Batok MRT, however, I stay with the in-laws 4 to 5 days a week at Hillview as they help us take care children. Judging from the distance, Keming is not within the 1km, whereas BVPS is within 1km. And BVPS is not so \"hot\" as compared to Princess Elizabeth. However, I got my misgivings with single session school that BVPS is. And I am not sure if BVPS is a good sch. Cos good sch will be chase after by us, the parents. Looking at the balloting history, makes me wonder if BVPS have good teachers?

Please help. appreciate if can pm me <[email protected]>

Since your registered address is near Bt Batok MRT, you will be registering your child via the caregiver route, right? If so, you will be in the 1-2 km category even though your in-laws' house is within 1 km from the school.

when is your kid due for registration?
I am only referring to schools in this thread (bukitbatok except for CHIJ which is near to Hillview Railmall side).
if you stay at Bukit Batok and is looking at PV, the only popular school accepting PV is Keming. If you want to try PV at Bukit Panjang Pri, you can see if you are within 1-2km using the hillview address because this year i heard that applying as Phase 2B exceeding 2km applicants some are risky.
if you stay at Bukit Batok and is a church goer eligible for Phase 2B, the one to go is St Anthony.
If you using your IL's hillview address and has a daughter, you can see if CHIJ is within distance to avoid balloting if you going for Phase 2C.
Princess E you need to stay within 1km to ballot for phase 2C. if you intend to join as Phase 2B, only possible via Grassroots.
Other schools left in order of popularity is Bukit View, Lianhua, Dazhong (relocating back in end 2012; currently at temporary premises) and HongKah. good or bad teachers aside, go look at the infrastructure, distance to your place, CCAs and school programmes available (and sch uniform, if you want )

Good luck!

Hi Jedama

my in-law’s house is at The Petals Condo, near the Bukit Batok area, not the railmail. Princess E is within the 1km using my address.
I would prefer Keming location very much but no so for Bukit View though these 2 schools are just a few stone away. In terms of infrastructure, CCAs and programmes, Keming stand out from BVPS. But come to real life, I don’t even have a chance to ballot within the 1km.
Seeing Princess E balloting history, makes me scare. If going for almost confirm place, BVPS seems to be the one. But I don’t really like BVPS, heard there’s quite a no. of Indians and Malays in BVPS compare to other school. In kiasuparents web, almost no comments on BVPS at all. Don’t know where to gather information about BVPS. School uniforms also yuck in the colour scheme.
So now, I don’t know how. To bet the chance next year or just settle for BVPS

- Thought Dazhong Primary relocating back in end 2011 / beginning 2012?

- One thing good about Bukit View Primary uniform - black shoes! Another thing is don't need to buy separate PE t-shirts. Think use the same top for uniform?

If you are open to schools outside of Bukit Batok:
- Depends on which area of Bukit Batok you are in, you may be have a chance for Jurong Primary School. Some blocks in Bukit Batok are within 1km from Jurong Primary. The distance is measured by radius from school, not travelling distance. Do check the distance from http://www.onemap.sg.
- If you are attending Presbyterian churches, can try Pei Hwa Primary under Phase 2B (use IL's Hillview address).
- How about Bukit Timah Primary?

Do go visit school open house for a better feel of the schools - but normally in July / Aug.
