Beacon Primary

[petiacbk]

congrats to all <1km and 1-2km SC no ballot this year. if i registered I will be stressed out by the ballot. hope to see you all next year.

Congrats to all who got in! Haha with this result I would have gotten in too without doing PV since I fall under 1-2km. No complaints since I avoided the P1 registration stress almost totally. It’s a good result this year since all who applied to Beacon and are within 2km can get in. Less balloting disappointments. Look forward to more sharing here when our kids commence their primary school journey.

Hi, I'm new here. Yesterday, I reveived an sms from Beacon stating that those outside 2km will be ballot. Mine ,I think is within 1km, as I stay at Blk 251.


I called the School just now but she only tell me that results will only be out on 7th Aug & those within 1km no need ballot....

So is it majority chances that my son already in? Anxious...

Hi,


I’m new here. Just a bit kiasu to find out more about Beacon before i decide whether to move back to my condo in 2years time. My gals born in 2009.

Can anyone kindly advise me the strength of this school and the CCA available. I’m also considering BBPS/CHIJ. Not sure whether do i need to do PV to increase my chance or not. Btw, i tried the One Map, seems like i don’t know how to use to check my home distance. ha ha…

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Twinsmum,


Just go through the pages of this thread and you can read more about the school. Me and other existing parents have written quite a bit about Beacon and what we like about it.

CCAs are from P3, although they do have a 7 week Learn To Swim Programme in P1. The school has many CCAs like Visual Arts, Robotics, Science Club, Choir, Scouts etc.

If you are really keen on BCPS, then you should consider doing PV to ensure that you get into the school in 2B. The school is very selective in taking in PVs who want to clock in hours so it may be best for you to start talking to the school when your girls start K1.

Hope this helps. If you want more information, do write in specifically and me and other parents will try and help you.
