[Serangoon] Primary Schools

In any case, while past history serves as a good guide, the situation may and can be very different each year.


Since you are looking at P2C, you can check the spaces available by the end of P2A and check the take up rate of P2C with the school during that phase, but before the deadline, to decide.

Hope these helps...........

Thank you dorisp and qms for your response!


If only schools would be more open in releasing info about their enrolment figures for each phase and their balloting history on their websites. Then clueless parents like me can better gauge our chances... Lucky we got this kiasuparent to turn to!

For rosyth, balloting is required even within 1km for the past few years. So if you stay 1-2km, chances are unlikely. Better look elsewhere...

Hi,


I stay near Rosyth and going by proximity and convenience, I had intended to register my boy there. He goes P1 in 2014. But i only recently found out that the PV application for 2014 intake is already closed (it’s still 2.5 years to go to 2014!!!). They had over 200 applications of which they are only intending to select 10% for PV work.

Which means I now fall under P2C (less than 1km dist). What are my chances of getting a place under P2C? How else can I get into P2B if I don’t do PV? It states on the website that other than PV, one can also get an endorsement from a church/clan or an active community leader. What does that mean? Can I do that?

Is there a website that I can use to confirm on the distance to Rosyth?

Thanks

Hi T-bird


You may want to use this map to check the distance between your home and the school.

Hi everyone,


Our son is due for P1 registration very soon. We live 1.7 km from Rosyth, and if we were to register, it will be under Phase 2C. It was too late for us to do parent volunteer or even community leader since we last enquire more than 1 year ago!

Do you think we could even stand a chance at all? It is so disheartening to see the mad rush and anxiety for parents to get a good school for their kids and I must admit, I am one of them.

We had completed parent volunteer for Yangzheng Primary School, as a back-up, so getting a seat there is not a problem. Furthermore, my hubby is ex-Anderson boy in Ang Mo Kio.

Please advise, if we go for this second choice, which is better? Yangzheng or Anderson?

Thanks a lot for your advice.
