Hello,

I had River Valley decided for my son but we just changed house and now only Stamford Primary is in our 2km range... nothing in 1km..

Can anyone recommend good school for boys (2008 born) near tanjong rhu road? I am Indian but really like Kong Hwa, should I even consider it? Any other recommendations of good PV result.. not much time left :nailbite: ?

Kong Hwa is a SAP school.
SAP school study Higher Chinese.
Her mother tongue is only Chinese. No Malay. No Tamil.

if your child hold Singapore citizenship (SC), can consider Geylang Methodist primary (GMPS), also has an affliated Secondary school.
for Mother Tongue - GMPS offer Tamil, Malay, Chinese.

if you are keen for your child to study Chinese instead of Tamil, you may approach GMPS Principal - find out if GMPS allow non-Chinese children to take Chinese as Mother Tongue, and how they'd been coping so far (if allowed), based on past years' P6 PSLE results, and what're the common struggle encountered.

fyi -
last year 2012 - all SC children were admitted into GMPS.
Balloting was conducted only for PR children - residing between 1km and 2km of the school.

Next question, which i posted in the self introduction thread, hope you can hep me:

I am interested in KongHwa p2C, I am SC within 1 km according to onemap.

In the event that I do not get Kong Hwa in p2C, I would like to know what are my chances of getting in Maris Stella, Haig Girls or Geylang Methodist in 2CS.

All these popular school(s) you'd listed down:-
Maris Stella, Kong Hwa, Haig Girls, Geylang Methodist -
will be full house, by end of Phase 2C.
They won't appear anymore in 2C Supp.
By end of 2C, ALL seats will be taken up (100% occupany).

This means that under 2C - you can only choose one of the above school(s).
You need to assess situation during phase 2C, and decide which is the best bet.

Phase 2C (open to public) - usually either end of July or first week of August.
3 days will be allocated for 2C.
on the last day (ie. day 3) -
around 2.30 pm to 4.30 (closing time for P1 registration) - one of you station at Maris Stella primary, while your spouse station at one of the Geylang school(s), that your gut feel tell you got the highest chance to enter. Station yourself at the school premises, after lunch around 2.30 pm, on the last day. Do not take taxi last minute - because it is island wide registration day on last day - very hard to hail taxi on the road.

refer Geylang schools to choose from, in Phase 2C :-
