TPS is doing a survey to have student care. For me i'm glad and hopefully it can be done.

Really? When will the Student Care be in operation? Any idea of who is the operator of the Student Care?

not sure when will it be operated and who is the operator. We just received the form to do the survey. Maybe if there is max student opt for it, they might consider to start operating the student care. I hope it can be done. I prefer the student care be close to the school, as now my daughter student care is far away.

BTW, anyone kid who is in TPS primary 1 got their kid name tag. I have not receive mind although i have paid for it before the school open. :roll:

We are Permanent Residents living within 1km of St.Hilda's. Is there any chance for our DD to get admission in Phase 2C?

Frankly speaking, with the new ruling, you can safely omit this school from your list. Singapore Citizens staying 1-2 km will take up whatever places left, if any.

Ya, after the new ruling came up, not only St hilda's, any other popular school also no chance. Under this Phase 2C, even singaporean also very difficult to get in.

Can anyone please advice me on the schools that I can safely apply for PR category in phase 2C?

Thanks in advance.

for PR - St Hilda's Anglican school is out.
This is a much highly sought after, extremely popular school in Tampines, because it is a (mission school + GEP school).
By end of phase 2C, St Hilda would have been snapped up hotly by all Singapore citizen K2 kids. Balloting for St Hilda start - less than 1 km.

another popular school is Poi Ching (SAP school).
this year, monitor P1 registration figures closely, see which one still has vacancies then decide.

Hi qms, AZ020970, phtthp,

Thank you very much for your inputs. I am new to this process and in addition, I am not sure about the effect of the new changes based on citizenship (but anyway, I think it is right to give priority for citizens, only that I am confused). Any word of advice welcome.

Saint Hilda's Primary School... Why would you even consider other schools in the area if you are closest to SHPS? Given that it is a brand name school, it has a long history and culture of excellence. That's why even though Junyuan and East View is nearby, parents from all over the East still flock to the school. With your distance being so close, you really should capitalise on it!


It is the only school in Tampines to offer 270 places. So, even though the competition is keen, the new ruling putting citizens first and coupled with the available places up \"for grabs\", your daughter stands a higher chance of getting in.

FYI, SHPS will be moving to Bedok South for two years (2013 - 2014) for (even more) upgrading. So, if you choose this school, be prepared to make arrangements for her commute to the holding site at Bedok South.
