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

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.

Hi all, I'll be shifting to Tampines St. 21 in Nov this year.. Currently i've a P1 boy and another soon-to-be p1 boy next year.


My elder son is currently in Tanjong Katong Pri sch. not a 'branded' sch, not too strong academically too but my son and I liked it. Not so stressful for both parents and child. And good for mental and physical development too (i guess )

I'm new to the schools in Tampines.. In your opinion, which sch in Tampines is similar to Tanjong Katong pri? Not so academically stressed, all rounder development type?

Thanks for all inputs!

Hi , can anyone advise us on which school to choose between SHPS and Tampines Primary ? We are singaporean and staying withing 1 km of both schools. Knowing that the chances are really slim in getting into SHPS due to balloting , is it advisable to try our luck ?

[sook]

i am in a dilemma now. Lets say i have equal chance in getting into SHPS and Poi Ching. But Poi Ching is just opposite my block, while i have to take feeder bus to SHPS. And SHPS is moving to temp school in Bedok on 2013 ans 2014.

Which school should i choose? My girl is not the extremely gifted type. Is SHPS more academically stressful than Poi Ching? I know SHPS is very popular but is it more suitable for my girl?
