I am very very gan-cheong and need advise... pls!!


My house is 1.06km from Nan Chiau Primary School and 0.9km from Mee Toh Primary School.

my first priority school is = Nan Chiau Primary School.
second priority school is= Mee Toh Primary School.

I would like to apply for PV (Nan Chiau) but need to know the chance.

how high is my chance to get my first priority?
and what can i do to increase the chance?

Since you stay more than 1km away from NC, may not have chance even to ballot as there was already ballot at P2B <1km this year. Cheers.

July 2012 registration - Phase 2B
Nan Chiau conducted balloting for SC children staying less than 1 km.
All PVs staying beyond 1 km - are out.

same thing for NC, under Phase 2C -
balloting conducted for SC children staying less than 1 km.
All residents from public staying beyond 1 km - are out.

conclusion
to ballot for Nan Chiau, you need to stay within 1 km.

MrsSeah:

From my understanding, it is not easy to be PV in Nan Chiau. My friend told me Nan Chiau prefer SAHM as PV. How about you call Nan Chiau to ask about your chance of being PV.


My opinion, why don't you apply PV for both Nan Chiau & Meetoh. So that in case Nan Chiau don't accept you, you still have Meetoh to as backup.

Hi MrsSeah,
Can apply 2 PV at the same time?

Just grab Mee Toh, which is also a good school. Don't take chance, it might not worth it! All the best!

Like to find out the strength of Rivervale & Compassvale Primary. Looking at the past records particularly the "Number of Applicants versus available places for Phase 2B & C", Rivervale Primary seems to more popular?

Need some advise here.

I’m currently staying at Toa Payoh and my kids are in Peichun Public School, however, we just got the confirmation on our BTO in Sengkang. By then my son will be just P1 when we get our flat while my gal will be in P4.
I do not intend to change my gal over to SK’s school since it’s only 2 years but for my son, I’m thinking whether should I enroll him in a SK’s school for P1.
Nan Chiau is a good school in SK but I’m worried that we might not get in, especially if we choose a flat in Rivervale. But if we opt for Compassvale flat, then will be within 1km but still need balloting…
Is Rivervale Primary a good school?
Or maybe I should just stay put with Peichun for my son and think of ways to bring and fetch him from school… haiz…

Rivervale Primary is a highly sought after school, but you still stand a chance if you are within 1 km. Otherwise try Sengkang Primary School. They have daily PE and students are healthier than elsewhere.

Personally, I would stick with Peichun. Rivervale Pri requires ballotting at phase 2C. One of my friends got balloted out and had to settle for North Spring Pri back in 2011.
