[Bedok] Primary Schools

[chipyswim]

Yes, looking at the Statistics, Bedok Green most probably will be taken up by applicants < 1km and balloting will be conducted too. On 15 Aug, when we called up the school, we will know. ‘The standard reply is those applicants above 1 km, might have to try other schools’ - expected answer, like can predict the results.


I called up East Coast and want to find out more about the school. Surprisingly, the staff gave me 1 word answer ‘umm, ah, yes, no’. So disappointing. Guess the teachers there felt very much discouraged being the ‘leftover’ school for applicants to choose. Cos they knew that most parents might have to choose East Coast if surrounding schools like Fengshan, Yu Neng, Red Swastika, St Anthony and Temasek can’t get in.

In terms of academic results, Opera Estate is comparable to Bedok Green. I went to recce Opera Estate Pri. School. It is surrounded with private condos, semi-detached and terrace houses. No wonder not many parents choose that school cos it’s not near to HDB flats.

Hi Hi


In last year’s phase 2C(S), all the applicants in Bedok Green are staying within 1km and balloting was conducted. I was one of the unlucky one to be balloted out. So if you have decided to try at Bedok Green, please have a 2nd choice in mind cos if you happen to be the same as me, the school will give you a form immediately after the balloting exercise to fill up 3 choices of school for your child and MOE will post your child to the nearest school.

Glad to heard that the SC given priority over SPR during the registration, hope that MOE will improve more the registration system to be fair to all SC children.

Strongly not agreed that former student got priority to register their child under 2A2, especially some of them are staying more than 1km far from the school. vacancies should not be part of own "Asset" can passing generation by generation, this is not fair to those children whose is staying <1km.
