[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools
-
Hi, was reading from the 1st post till I gave up, cause its from 2008. So fast forwarded to 2012 posts. Actually being a bit kiasu so doing my research now, will only need to register P1 for my gal 2 yrs time. Im an old gal from Kellock but Im thinking of putting her in a co-ed school instead. M deciding between Radin Mas, seeing its such a popular school. Also River Valley Pr. Also considering Henry Park coz I have a relative staying near the school but the balloting for within 1km is so slim, dont’ noe if i should take the risk. Any feedback on these 3 schools?

What is the distance from RMPS to your house? If you stay within 1 km from Henry Park, it's unlikely you are within 1 km from RMPS.
Since you are early, perhaps you may like to consider applying for PV with Henry Park? The number of vacancies left in P2B for Henry Park may not be high, but so is the number of PVs staying within 1 km from the school. -
Previously I checked, I am within 1km to both RMPS and RVPS. For HPPS, it is cause my niece is studying there and is staying relatively near there. So I will have to change my address to be eligible to be within the 1km there. But comparing these 3 schools, not sure which one is better.

Just went to do a check on http://www.streetdb.com. I am within 1km to RVPS but 1-2km for RMPS. That means my chances to RMPS is as good as gone.

What is your criteria in deciding whether a school is \"better\" than the other? :scratchhead:
Many parents here will be able to share their views if they have a better idea on what you look out for in the school. -

It's better to use the source stated in MOE's website: onemap. -
Xiaoman,
To put it simple, the ranking of the primary school based on your choice is as follow:-
(1)\tHPPS
(2)\tRMPS or RVPS
You should look at your distance & see which one have a better chance to get in when coming to the P1 registration.
It maybe necessary you may require to do PV or Grassroot Leader to qualify at Phase 2B. -
qms - Checked on onemap and it is the same.
titank - How do i check if i m needed to PV or be grassroot leader? Do I check with the school directly? In that case, I think RVPS is the nearest to me and likely to have a higher chance as well. -
Hi Titank and other expert parents here.
Im new to this and my DS will be registering next year.
Due to the hot demand at RMPS and Zhangde, Im left with
Gan Eng Seng Pri in the BM area.
