As you can tell from the poll in this thread, most parents seem to prefer Fairfield compared to the others in the area.

chixchix,
there is no priority in balloting if balloting is required for those staying within 1km ie regardless of whether you stay within 480m or 200m or 100m or 900m away from the school, all will be balloting under <1km.

Chixchix, else why do u think ppl like me bother to PV just to qualify into an earlier phase?

Hi All,


Yes agree that Fairfield Methodist would be the hot favourite in among the Queenstown Zone area. My application for PV with FMPS also not accepted. It is always need to ballot within 1Km range for Phase 2C.

Luckliy I had perform PV with other schoolsas backup plan!

New Town Pri now is having a new premises at Tanglin Halt. Does anyone have any info regarding New Town? What I know it was a merger between Ghim Moh & New Town Primary.

Hi titank,


My first choice is also new town pri.
Tried to look into their website but it is not up to date.
Think it’s the same old info for past few years.

Hi Winth,


New Town is one of my consideration list but I had performed PV at other schools as backup plan. Just one thing good is a new building. Perhaps it it better than Queenstown Primary I think.
