[Bishan] Primary Schools
-
Agree with Chief. My experience with CHS has been pleasant. I started emailing CHS as far back as June 2008 to check my eligibility under 2C using S&P for uncompleted properties. I asked the same old question yr after yr (kiasu !) until recently as my son is due for P1 registeration this year. I even called the school n spoke with a Mdm Woo n another Mdm Goh. They helped me assess my chances n advised me to register my boy at SJIJ 1st under phase 2A2 to guarantee a spot. Both were patient n even empathetic.
So in all fairness, CHS is not as arrogant as some may think. So chill ok? -
I think they have a lot of paper work to be done since 96% of the places were taken up before 2B and that may be the reason they are very busy. The enquiries usually go to admin staff and whether the school is elite or not has nothing to do with them. They are working people just like us.

Anyone has updates for CHS? I din call them. Think they are busy right now. In case anyone has the updated numbers, pls post. Thanks in advance.

Dear all Bishan Mummies.
28 registered this morning. As I left the school at 3pm, parents were still coming. Looks like a lot of PVs are willing to risk it all. Understandable, since they have put in so much effort! -
Dear Phankao,
You may not believe this, there are people who live in Jurong East and come all the way to CHS ! -
Dear Cherrygal,
Because Ai Tong has more vancancies compared to CHS and the area around it has no new development in recent years. A lot of PVs also stay within 1km of the school just to double their chances. Therefore, I think probability of getting into Ai Tong is higher. -
One more thing, Cherrygal, MS is not that far away from Shunfu. Its just a short distance down Braddell & Bartley road, right ?

Dear Bigfoot,
No, they did not post the information this time.
My guts is its about 50% of them within 1km.
The PVs who do not get a place during balloting will join the 1Km ballot again.
Its hard to tell if most PVs getting a place is staying within 1km, because it all depends on luck !
Did you register, by the way ? -

Unlike Catholics and grassroot members, PVs can't take their 2B qualifications to another school...so they really have no other choice!
