Dear fellow parents,


I am a super kiasu mum. I have 2 girls. The older one is only 2.5 years old this month but i am already planning which sch I wish to enrol her in. Hahaha.

I stay in Tiong Bahru and my first choice is River Valley Pri but based on registration history, i think i need to do PV there. (This year,those in 1-2km still safe under Phase 2B.)

My second choice is either CHIJ Kellock or Zhangde. ZDPS is just 200metres away from my block!

Everyone would probably tell me to go for CHIJ straightaway(since i have 2 girls) and i do not mind but i am hoping that i will get a son in a few years' time so.....better think ahead now. Hahaha. Kiasu hor?

Like that aim for ZDPS in case you have another boy you do not have to worry. Now P1 Registration there are many unexpected situation happens. Gan Eng Seng & Zhangde Pri never in hostory require balloting in Phase 2C, meaning at 1km. :stompfeet:

Hi All,

Just failed to get in my daughter to CHIJ Kellock because we're PR within 1-2km.

Now looking at other school as alternative even though I don't have much choice. I'm thinking about BRPS because it's very close to my place.
Anybody can brief me about BRPS? Seems that this is the least popular school in Bukit Merah area.

How is it compare to other school such as Cantonment (which is apparently a new school but seem more popular), Stamford, Newton, Queenstown?

Blangah Rise Pri is the least sought after in Bt Merah area probably since the year 2000. Generally the school in certain way perform below the National level PSLE standards. Hope I am not wrong as I have a quick browse of the school website.

Cantonment Pri this time round being popular I guess it happen to be in the media last year. So that could be the reason it appear as a dark horse in this year P1 registration.

Titank, you mean GESPS will be balloting for those within 1 km? Do you know how many applicants?

Ksks3mum said balloting would only be for those in the 1-2 km category.

Hi I need to go ballet for ZDPS. This really upset me, the schl is just next to my block. If I fail in coming ballot, the thought of sending my girl to another schl which is far away, make me very depressed. This will be additional cost for us n very inconvience. Hope MOE can come out with a better system. In my area, within 1km covers a lot housing flat (maybe abt 180 blocks), imagine all go for one schl.
