FRKeon:

I am in a difficult spot right now.

I am living within 700m to Rulang but my boy is very playful, worried that he is unable to keep up to Rulang high expectations.
I oso need student care.
Can anyone advise me?
My backup is Bukit View coz have in house student care

Hi FRKeon,

Hope my reply is not too late. Are you registering in Phase 2C?

I must say that the school's expectation is rather high but they do have systems in place to scaffold their kids' learning... my girl is very playful too but well we just need to manage our expectations She is having fun in school despite the stress during exams period...

There are four BASC around Rulang.. the list can be found in the recent pages of Rulang - Parent networking thread here...

having said that, this years over-subsription is shocking... please have strong backup plans.

Good luck!

I find Rulang Primary's registration take up rate the most interesting. Not sure if this is a record...


Cos it's only Phase 2A and there are so few vacancies left! (maybe due to the PSLE top scorer)

I think the PVs at Rulang will have a nail-biting time next week. I hope there won't be too many heartaches this year.

I agree. As of this morning's MOE website updates, 79 places taken up for Phase 2A2, ( balance 25 places left ) that means, those in Phase 2B will have to undergo balloting.

I think its a record for them.

Hi ladies!!

Yup. I agree. The numbers for Rulang are scary! With only 10 places for 2B and 9 for 2C, the fight is super tough this year. My heart goes all out to all - those who will be balloting as well as those who will not have a chance to ballot...it is almost given that even 2B will be balloting for within 1km for the first time. Despite cutting down PVs from 50 to 20, I doubt they had anticipated such a steep fight...

All the very best of luck to those in 2B and 2C!!! :xedfingers: :xedfingers:

Hi kathyh,

I also submitted the print-out version for immunization report. They were accepted with no issues.

Best of luck.

Yes, of course, if you compare to Rulang... however, looking at the remaining vacancies after today, JWPS has the next lowest available vacancies left after Rulang....in the JW area...

[Mamasmurf]

There are a number of reasons why JWPS balance figure looks smaller this year.


JWPS only has 240 places as compared to last year which was 270. MOE could have deliberately done so after knowing how many potential registrations are coming from this area and also there are new schools like Westwood Pri having their first registration.

Also I guess last year JWPS produced good results for their PSLE.

Lastly as compared to new schools like Frontier or Westwood Pri around the vicinity that have not been ‘tested’ many would feel that JWPS is a safer bet.

For all parents whom are going for balloting in P2B and PC,


Please do not despair...my heart goes out for you. I know how nerve-wrecking it is. If you have a sound plan B, you may consider trying your luck but consider your options well. Take heart that, even in worst case scenario, where you fail to ballot in, it may not be for the worst...

There are times when I question myself if I have done myself and DD a dis-service by getting her into a hot school. It has its fair share of frustrations...

So, do believe that sometimes, things happen for a reason..and sometimes what we feel is bad may not be so at the end of the day..there is always that silver lining... :boogie:

It is more important that our children enjoy school and enjoy their learning journey, no matter where they are. And so far, I've heard of this enjoyment in many schools throughout the island. This is not only available in the hot schools. So please do not despair.

Whatever your target school is, I wish you all the very best! :xedfingers:
