[quote=\"dokomo\"]Hi Parents,


Need your advise here, I am in a dilemma as to which school i should \"target\" for my girl (Yr 2008).

-within 1km of my mum's house, there's PLMGS (abt 20 mins from home)
-within 1km of my MIL's house, there's CHIJ St Nic (abt 30 mins from home)
-within 1km of my house, there's Edgefield PS (next to my block)
-My own primary school - CHIJ OLN

My 2 main considerations are Christian school (grow up in Christian environment) and shorter distance from my home to the school. Should I target on PLMGS and PV there? Will I have a better chance there or should I just settle on Edgefield which is the nearest?
:thankyou: very much!

If u r using ur parent's address, it will be within 2km not 1km.
Just fyi. I think u stick to your own school or the school next to ur block.

Just send to CHIJ OLN your own school at Phase 2A. No competition at all and it's a better school than Edgefield bah...

Dun bother with CHIJ St Nic's... too hard to get in and you have no chance unless you PV/Catholic and live within 1km yourself (not your MIL).[/quote]Hi Cherrygal and Mummy of 3,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, i actually forgot to check back this thread. hee...
If say I PV at PLMGS, can I still use my parents' address to be in the \">1km and <2km\" category in Phase 2B? is like a combination of SD with PV... (assuming I fulfill all the criterion of SD)

Hi, I am stuck with 3 choices, hope for some advice.


1) Anderson pri - my old sch but meaning I have to shift back to amok
2) mee toh - currently staying within 1km
3) rivervale - within 1.5km.

Which is a better choice, in terms of character building and academic?

I think you better just stick with Anderson. It is a very highly sought after school now. No need to shift back lah, just take school bus. You get in via Phase 2A2 so it is a confirmed seat.
