Hi Ronseng,

It's a typical neighborhood primary school. But there are some real gems there.

Anyway, check out the school thread on KSP for more info. The school's website is sadly not very updated.
feel free to ask us Qs over there at the school thread.

Strange that Rulang is taking in 20PV eventhou one og those PV is staying more than 1km away from the sch. How i know coz i happen to know one of the PV.

Just a curious question, does anybody know other PVs staying more than 1 km away from Rulang ? I think the selection criteria is base on school requirement rather than distance.

Hi alls,


I start to worried after reading these threads.

My son will be registering this yr, and my new Home adds was within the distance (1~2km) of a few schools like WG, RL,Frontier while <1km would be CP and BLG.
My ideal choice ( P2C ) would be WG but i did not manage to perform any PV.

Qns 1) I still a bit confuse how this things works, e.g for P2C there’s 100 places for balloting, there’re 80 applicants stay <1 km, while another 70 applicants stay > 1~2 km. so all 150 applicants will ballot for the 100 places or those applicants staying <1 km will allocate the places while the 20 remaining places will ballot to those staying 1~2 km away?

Qns 2) During P2C Registration, are there any differences when you register early @ 1000hrs or register @ 1630hrs?

Please kindly advise.

Thanks

All 80 living within 1km will be given a place. Only the 70 living 1-2km will have to ballot for the remaining 20 places. Those living outside 2km will have to look for another school in phase 2CS.

Can anyone tell me anything about the new school at St 73?

[roseytulips]

I am interested about the new Westwood Pri School @ JW St 73 as well. Understand that it will be open in Jan 2013 (1 more choice for my child's registration this year).


Any idea where to find out more info like who is going to be the new principal etc etc?
