Sch staff said they are unable to tell how many applicants are within 1km cos they have Internet applications going on also so not able to tell at this moment.

Any parents in Beacon care to share with me your child's experience in any of the after school care centres?


Thanks. Am scouting for one for my child. Would appreciate any recommendations.

fishopk,

Currently, my kids are in Adelfibel. The teachers there are quite good so far for me. The children will be wailking back with the teachers daily, rain or shine. However, I engaged a schoold bus for my DD & DS as thier schoolbags are really VERY VERY heavy.

You might also want to check out Pro-teach (Teachers there very fierce-Kids are really intimidated by them) and Little Professors.

All the best for your search fishopk. :celebrate:

Thanks for your help. Have registered my child. Now keeping my finger crossed that my child need not ballot for P1 within 1 km applicants.

Cheers

Hi, Which bto is urs in? when is ur kid registering?
how come bto in 2014 also cant use that address?

Segar Vale BTO. just beside the LRT station.


MOE rule say must move in 2 years within primary 1 start so cut off date is 2014 31 Dec. School insist follow TOP date which is HDB kiasee project +1 year of the expected completion date. They insist is MOE guideline. I checked with Greenridge they follow MOE guideline too.

I understand this might be an issue too so I went to double check and triple check. Even till the very last moment when I walk into the school hall to register I check again. Until I reach the "special case" counter then I was told can’t register.

The last I heard from the developer they expect to complete the construction by end 2013 and handover to HDB. Plus the inspections and stuff I project get keys early 2014.

Hopefully by then I can get a place in either Greenridge or Beacon as this 2 schools are within walking distance. If not have to apply to Zhenghua. as the 3rd choice.
