I’m residing at Redhill and the closest primary school is Gan Eng Seng but i prefer and had chose Radin Mas for my boy but if "touch wood", can’t get in. Is Zhangde better than Gan Eng Seng ? I’m under 2B for Radin Mas.

Hmmm, what's your definition of \"better\" in this instance? If it's in the academic terms, I think both ZDPS and GESPS are pretty much on par with each other. Academic standards aside, both schools have their strengths in varying areas like character development, CCAs etc.

Other factors that you might need to take into consideration are home-school distance, and facilities like BASC, school starting time, etc.

Ultimately, it depends on which school you feel comfortable with and is able to best meet both the parents and child's requirements.

... after my first session of PV today, we are more or less sure we would want to opt for ZDPS for our DD.

tjkok, can share with me what is the \"X\" factor which made your say that?

Ermmm, how do I describe it? :?

When I got to interact with the principal, the 2 VPs, teachers, and member of the PSG during my PV session, I could sense passion & enthusiasm in what they are doing. Then again, this was what I felt, and it may be different from what others may feel .

Last week rmps said they will be sending out letters to those unselected PV applicants. Those who didn't received letters means they are selected. Usually they start PV work quite late like end of the year. BTW they said next year's registration also quite alot of parents applied as PV

Oh man..... This doesn't sound very good...... if phases 1-2A2 for next yr have even higher takeup rates than this yr..... I think maybe even within 1km needs balloting..... Can only hope for the best..... :xedfingers:

Anyhow tks for the info, snggk

Maybe can have 25 places provided the following scenario occurs:

(1) No 1-23 (Single)
(2) No 24 (Twins)

So the school have to create extra places but does that mean they would less 1 from Phase 2C?

Maybe you all can check the school on average take in how many PV's. This year 2012 Registration surface out balloting for Phase 2B for those 1-2km.
