I am rather surprised that Ngee Ann is left in the cold while TKPS needs to ballot.

Hi Blurrish, heard that it is due to lots of expats turned SC and living around the newly buillt condos at Mountbatten/Amber Roads, Katong and Haig…that’s why!

I am more amused by the fact that CHIJ Katong on the other side of Marine Parade Road is apparently in Bedok. :faint:

Hmm... apparently they have a way of zoning these schools, which is beyond our understanding. Nonetheless the system still go by distance and not cluster, ya?

i)

surprised that CHIJ Katong no need to ballot this year, as CHIJ schools usually popular amongst girls.

ii)
if compare Tanjong Katong with Ngee Ann, is their academic standard on par ?

Dear All,


I would like to register my daughter for Tao Nan but am not living within 1km. I hope to join SHHK but do not have 2 referrals. My daughter was born in 2009. Is there anyone kind enough to help with the 2 referrals?

Chances of even getting a chance at balloting is slim at phase 2B and/or 2C, if you are not within 1Km. For the recent years, only those within 1Km were eligible for balloting.

does SHHK issue letters only to those staying < 1 km from SHHK affliated school (eg: Tao Nan) ?
based on what criteria does SHHK issue letters to 2B folks ?
any SHHK member around ?
