The most sought after in Tampines area should be St. Hilda’s Primary.

Maybe the next popular one is Gongshan ? I am not sure.

agree.
st hilda is very popular.
gongshan, Poi ching and chong zheng should be good cos they are popular just as well.

thanks.But I think chances of getting in to St. Hilda would be very very slim as it is very popular and I live more than 2 km.I am choosing between Gongshang and Chongzheng.I need more informations on the 2 schools.can anyone help?

what type of info do you need?
i guess to start off, you need to see which is the one is the most likely that you can get in. you can refer to http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/2006-2007-primary-1-balloting-history
for balloting history. i only remember from past records that chongzheng need balloting for those residing <1km under phase 2C.

[IUC]

It seems like both schools goes balloting on the Phase 2c.I think my chances of getting in to Chongzheng is greater than going to Gongshang.

Anyway, thanks.

Hi -


I am very keen on St Hilda’s for my daugther. Having seen some of the Pri 1 topics, I realized that it is one of the most popular schools in the East. I live in Pasir Ris and plan to volunteer (that’s it if I am accepted!!) and would be grateful for comments / tips from parents who have kids there and / or have had experience with the school.

Further, recommendations on other good schools around Pasir Ris would be very helpful too.

Thanks!

Cheers!

St. Hilda's is right up there with the best, along with the likes of RGS and Tao Nan. It's going to be tough trying to get a place in there.


http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/pasir-ris-primary-school and http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/white-sands-primary-school are pretty decent schools by their own right. You should consider them if they are very near to you.

If you are nearer to Bedok, there's http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/red-swastika-school which has had solid performance in the past few years in PSLE.
