hi all


Thinking of registrating my son in JWPS for 2014 enrollment, i’m staying less than 1km from JWPS but i’ll be thrown to phase 2C.
However i have an option to register him to Xingnan at phase 2A(1). Any advice to be given whether should i go for one school which just opposite me or go to one whereby no balloting required?
Also any advice on these two schools?

Hi smurftie,

Based on my experience, go for school that is near to home. It's always more convenient and more savings in the long run. Just to share with you, my No.1 spends an average of 2 hours in the bus each day just to get to and from school, as the bus goes round the estate. He complains and grumbles, and the travelling made him tired everyday. My No.2 joining the school next year, hence decided to move within 2 minutes walking distance to school end of year. My No.1 jumped for joy when we told him we are moving near to school. We did thought of transferring him to school nearer home, but he refused. He loves his school.

To me, other than Rulang in JW area, the remaining schools in this area are about the same.

JWPS and Xingnan have their own niches..

In term of popularity, perhaps JWPS is more sought after based on the balloting history.

Of course, if you want a stress free P1 regn process, then go for the guaranteed Xingnan regn. You may subsequently move nearer school??

At the end of the day, I would again advise a long term convenience, ie go for school near home...my 2 cents.
