[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[jocelynphua]

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.

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?

1. They applied on first day and didn't monitor the situation thereafter.
2. They didn't know they were allowed to withdraw and apply with another school. Don't be surprised, there are parents who do not know of this.

Yes, sad enough, RMPS doesn't call up those in the 1-2 km category to advise them to withdraw their applications.

Hi all


This is a fantastic thread. The data provided is definately useful for me to
prep for registration next year.

Sad to say I didnt secure a PV position at Radin Mas so will have to go for Phase 2C - which is very very hot! gog by the lastest data.

Can the experts here pls advise me what I should do in the event that I dont get a place after balloting in Phase 2C?

Is it possible for me to register for 2 schools during phase 2C (in case I dont get Radin Mas) ? Pardon my ignorance as I have only one DS and this is the first time I am doing this ! haha
