All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

janet_lee88:
Some parents are being more realistic...at phase 2C, if they are staying more than 1km, it's better to head elsewhere than go into phase 2C supp.
Yes, you're right !
is safer for parents staying > 1km to try some other school.
If balloted out in 2C, even the 2nd choice school may be gone. -

Waiting list can take up to 3 years FYI.I'm very disappointed with MOE system. Like other parents we just want their children to go to the nearby school. if there's a good reputation school nearby, that's a bonus. My son had fail to register a place in pharse 2c. I will not proceed to registered 2c supplementary as all good decent school nearby had no more vacancy. My son had been put on waiting list in \"Pei Chun\", \"Kheng Cheng\" and St Andrews\" Junior. I'm sure priority is still give to PR ways before Citizen.
if MOE really want to help, ask one of the school to take in my son otherwise why not enroll him in P2 n let him try. if he cant perform then downgrade him to P1 or repeat P2. -
sagacious.sg:
Whatever displeasure or unhappiness you have with MOE, it is unfair to let your child bear the brunt of the consequences. By depriving him/her a proper school environment, it is not going to change anything. And who is going to educate your child when both parents are wkg? Do not commit one mistake after another. That's my view. If you have time, maybe you ll like to read up on the 90-10 principle. 10% is what is beyond our control, 90% is what we can control, by our attitude. It's not easy but it can be done with practice. All the best.
Well Said! -
Daniel, besides Montfort Junior (Hougang), can also consider Zhonghua in Serangoon.
can also put up child for transfer to Marris Stella (another school). -

Oh yes, ZhongHua in Serangoon is perhaps nearer than Montfort. Can also consider St Gabriel which is quite near Toa Payoh.Daniel, besides Montfort Junior (Hougang), can also consider Zhonghua in Serangoon.

Ftpps really so bad??? Looking at daniel’s choices, he could be staying in tpy. But nobody recommends ftpps, instead most recommendations are outside tpy - serangoon, hougang etc…

Keng cheng is surprisingly good this year.

I heard Kheng Cheng's principal is very capable. Results have improved over the past few years and it's one of the value added schools. -
