[Toa Payoh] Primary Schools

Having gone thru' the P1 exercise this year, my advice is go for St Stephen. Is St Andrew much better than St Stephen? If not, the proximity to your home will be a very significant advantage (unless you are planning to move).


Of course, you can also do PV at St Andrew to give yourself an additional option but still apply for St Stephen under Phase 2A1/2. Then monitor the application status at St Andrew to see if you want to apply depending on how good is your chance of getting a place there under Phase 2B.

Hi there,

My husband & I have decided to send our boy to either:

(a) St Stephen's - which is my hubby's alma mater & is very near our home in Marine Parade

(b) St Andrew's - which I personally prefer but we don't have connections so we will prob have to join as PVs to get into phase 2b. I really don't mind the hours spent but am worried that the distance will work against me in the event I have to ballot! Will it?!

Would value any opinions or advice from other parents. Thanks so much!

It should be Phase 2A1/2.

Yup, you are right. What was I thinking when I posted that reply? Edited my earlier post :?

thanks so much for your pointers, guys!


just to clarify, am i allowed to apply to St Andrew's in Phase 2B - even after I've secured a place at St Stephen's under Phase 2A1/2?

Yes you can apply St Andrew's in Phase 2B but you have to withdraw from St Stephen's under Phase 2A1/2.

Do check how yr chance at St Andrew's in Phase 2B perhaps on the 2nd day. Maybe can view the past balloting history as a guide.

Hello


I am considering to transfer my son to St Andrew Junior, he will be in P4 next year. Have missed the entrance test date, was told to wit till May 2010. Can i have some sharing on this school? One of the plus point is their affiliation to the secondary and JC.
