[Serangoon] Primary Schools

[magiccastle]

If you don’t mind the inconvenience n the hassle of monitoring, register at yangzheng first under 2a , then monitor the take up rate at 2b in holy innocent. Are u within 1 km of the school n Singapore citizen , if so the chance should be quite good. Once very sure can get in to holy innocent without balloting or high chance to get in, u withdraw from yangzheng n apply to HI . A lot of parents have been doing that when come to registration.

I think his question wasn't so much on the chance of getting in, but rather, which was a better school.

[magiccastle]

Oh, ok. Quite obvious . H I is better.HI is a sap school. Given a choice, I will choose HI.

Thanks for all your advice, I m within 1-2km from HI, hopefully no balloting, keeping my fingers crossed.

Help! I am having trouble choosing between Kuo Chuan and Yangzheng Primary. I live at Lorong Chuan and both schools are less than 1 km for me. I am a PR too. So which school will be best for my son who is p1 at 2013? And we take Tamil as our MT. Please help us. Thank you

Didnt know kuo chuan is within 1 km from lor chuan.I thought it is more than 1 km . It is church based school where as Yang Zheng is more of govt sch.

Since u are a PR , the distance doesn’t matter. Priority will be given to spore citizens first even if the spore citizen stays as far as Jurong.
Based on last year record, both schools need balloting at 2C . Assuming those need balloting are spore citizens , u will have no chance to be balloted at all. U are behind the queue of spore citizens irregardless of the fact that u stay within 1 km.

U may want to go for school like zhong hua that need no balloting at all . But not sure about this year as the number of vacancy seems to be cut .There may be balloting even at zhong hua. But traditionally , it is not as popular as yangzheng or kuo chuan.

Not sure if Kuo chuan has affiliation to the sec school? If so, this gives it added advantage over yangzheng.


My hairstylist’s ds didn’t make it to catholic high sec through affiliation and went to Kuo chuan instead. The last I heard was his son is doing well and happy in the sec school.
