As at 8am this morning ZDPS, 130+ SC registered are within the 1km range ;(

Thanks mousey27 for the information!

:yikes: ... means there'll be balloting even at <1km this yr. All others (SC or PRs that are > 1km) can forget about it?

Hi all! Anyone can advice why parent still apply for RMPS included in the 101 applicant for when the school already need to ballot for less than 1km range? Aren't they wasting their chance?

my sister-in-law (stays just opposite RMPS) just registered her son there this morning, even though she knows its going to be <1km ballot for her she is ok with ANY other primary school if balloting not successful - hence her rationale is if successful in balloting = very happy... and if not successful in balloting = still happy :scratchhead: i guess its a situation where anything goes and if there's a chance to enrol her son in a 'better' school, why not since there's nothing to lose

Although ZDPS needs ballot, I will go ahead as I m staying next to the schl. This is the only schl that is within 1km for me. The rest of the schools all fall under 1-2km

mousey27,


The school most likely would ask those more than 1km to withdraw by end of the day or tomorrow morning! From what I know around the range of 70 would be balloting in 1km of RMPS.

From the current Bukit Merah areas, balloting at the following schools would surface out.


Zhangde Pri (Balloting 1km) - Estimate 163 take part in balloting.
Radin Mas Pri (Balloting 1km) - Estimate 70+ take part in balloting

Historically, Queenstown seemed to have performed better than New Town.

We don't have that many parents with children in New Town in this forum to provide feedback on the school. However, parents with children in Queenstown have shared positively about the school.

Hope the above helps!

mousey27,

Unfortunately, the school doesn't do that, titank.

So, parents who stay 1-2 km from RMPS, please do not apply with RMPS anymore. Don't waste your precious P2C chance. Parents who have applied and are in this same category, please quick withdraw your application from RMPS and apply with other schools.
