Can anyone give me some guidance on what is a good back up plan?


I stay within 1km to Henry Park and 1-2km to Fairfield Methodist, under the Phase 2b GRL, I can opt for schools in Tanjong Pagar GRC or Holland Bukit Timah GRC

Initial plan was HPPS since I am within 1km under Phase 2b and even Phase 2c, but there are only 12 slots left!!!... What is a good back up plan? HELP!!!!

Y u can opt for 2 GRC schs? :?

Although I do not understand how you can choose from 2 GRCs and I take it you are SC, here's my 2 cents worth.

From the vacancies left from both schools, I think there will be balloting. For Fairfield, you might not have the chance for balloting due to your home to school distance but you could double-chk with school towards the end of day 1 of P2B.

Now the qn to ask is do you want to take part in balloting. Some don't want and some feel that have chance to ballot means still have a chance and will go for it. Balloting is about luck, the way I see.

If you want a sure thing, then can see if there are other schools under Phase 2B that meet your selection criteria.

If you still wish to go for balloting then chk what are the schools in phase 2C you can register should there be a need.

In phase 2C it's again about the need to ballot or not. If need to ballot, then you will need to research abt schools that might have vacancies in phase 2C supp.

All the best.

However, we would definitely prefer that school just opposite our house but it needs balloting. Looking at the situation now, i can't possibly withdraw from 2A2. The school is so near yet so far!

It is hard to believe the situation but I understand what you mean by so far yet so near...ideally, the school opp is most convenient, yet you can't register your child there bcos of the balloting...so stay with your 2A2 choice.

Wanted to register my daughter in IJ, but the nearby IJ (5 min drive away) is not under 'umbrella group of IJ schools' so I do not enjoy phase 2A2. So, it's IJ TP for her. Ok lah...good to feel sense of belonging when I do PV occasionally.

Last yr, a new school taking its first intake of P1 students already experienced balloting within 1km. Needless to say, competition will be stiff for schools that are highly sought after.

Bukit Timah Primary, River Valley, Radin Mas Primary - anyone has any view of these schools & Phase 2C supplementary any chance?

Based on historical trend, only Bukit Timah Primary School has vacancies for phase 2C supp.

As a GRL, u should heed Mr Heng's advice that every school is good school. Choose a school u can 100% get in via 2B iso wasting it. Who else to bring MP's msg to us besides the GRL. Lead by example.

But some good schools are more good than others. :goodpost:

wow how come Henry Park is so popular? Is it a very good school? I mean I have never heard about the school producing any top PSLE students

It’s usually Rosyth, Nanyang, Taonan (even tao nan has stop making news of late ;p)

Does Henry Park offer GEP programme?
