[Ang Mo Kio] Primary Schools

I compared the amount of work st nicks have with Anderson, a lot more in st nicks. Enough to have marks for mid yr report book. Anderson doesn’t even have mid year report book. Spelling are also a lot more difficult. Anderson p1 spelling is simpler than k2 spelling.

Hi Mashy, u r trying for St nick? I give up since only have 15 seats for 2C, gg to just go for Anderson. Marymount still have 177 vacancies and dont think they have balloting for P2C.

[Belinng]

Anderson dont have mid yr for P1 & P2. But not sure if the CL is of higher standard since they use higher CL all the way until P4. P5 only 1 or 2 classes higher CL, the rest is Std CL and 1/2 class foundation CL. Quite strict with the streaming, only those above 85 can get into higher CL and the rest need to pass to go for std CL. But St nick is the other way, only 2 classes is std CL, the rest is higher CL, no foundation CL.

Just saw this from another topic. For Top T-score for 2011, though nvr think of using this as Top T-score normally depends on the luck of the intake of the school for that year.

My younger one is still young. only applying in 2015. Yes, she will be going st nicks so I will be running around like a crazy woman once the two are in primary sch since they will be in different schs.

OMG with only 16 seats left for St.nick. Last year we brought a house right opp St.nick, if i throw a stone hard enough it can hit the school field. So stress … Already move there … Die die must try right.


We are catholic and within 1 km still have to ballot. On next Monday,I refused to be the one to pick the lots, I shall insist my hubby do that. At least don’t get blame if not selected.

On next Monday, I refused to be the one to pick the lots, I shall insist my hubby do that. At least don't get blame if not selected.

neither you nor yr husband is the one drawing names.
The Primary 1 school Registration Officer on duty at St Nick is the one drawing lots.

on Wednesday, 25 July (balloting day for Phase 2B applicants nation wide):-

i) each slip of white paper bearing the child's full name & Registration # will be flashed onto an overhead white projector, visibly clearly seen by all parents sitting down inside the room. Some couple even hold / squeeze hands together tightly, sitting down side by side, very nervous. The duty officer read out each child's name. If anything is wrong during reading out names, parents can stop immediately on the spot, verify which particular info is wrong.

ii)
- if nothing wrong after verification, officer will then drop each slip of white paper into a transparent big box (for everyone to see).

the transparent box will be shaken up & down, left & right many times, swirled around several times, ensure evenly distribution.

- after all the names of pupils had been read out, school will invite a guest of honour come up to the front, perform lucky draw dip.

iii)
as each name is being called out, that same slip of precious white paper will be hung out immediately onto a white board, one by one, side by side. This white board contain all names - that had been successfully balloted.

process repeat ... until the very last name is been called out.

as each name is being called out, you can hear squeals of delightful joy in the background from that particular parent whose child's name has just been called. She'll quickly send sms (in silent mode) to notify all her loved ones that her child got balloted in !

iv) after entire balloting process over,
parents can move forward to white board, take photo of that very precious white slip paper hung up there. Go home, explain to your child how his parents fought hard for him / her to get into the school. Paste that precious photo inside your child's photo album:- the beginning track of his Primay 1 education life journey process.
