Yes, they were popular in the past, i also wonder what happened. Maybe we will see drastic increase in take up rate in phase 2A (2)...

If I am not wrong, one of the forummers gave a very good review of the school. She was previously from Haig Girls. What beats feedback from a student there, right?

Let me try to retrieve the post and lead you to it.

Hi, i m moving to Geylang nx wk n i m registering my son to P1 this yr.

I m within 1km of Kong Hwa, within 2km of Maha Bodhi n Geylang Methodist n Tanjong Katong Primary.
As we r PR so we only have 1 balloting chance.
Here is my analysis of the chances to get in the school base on balloting history.

1. Maha Bodhi - 0%
2. Kong Hwa - 40%
3. Geylang Methodist - 70%
4. Tanjong Katong - 90%

I really hope to get into Kong Hwa as it’s very near my place but m thinking izit wise to take a risk as they always ballot within 1km n i only have 1 chance.

Geylang Methodist always ballot for 1-2km also, but chances maybe higher judging from the balloting history.

Tanjong Katong seldom have ballot for 1-2km, so this is a rather safe choice.

I m in a dilemma now, would appreciate some advice.
Thank in advance.

Did you sign any Tenancy Agreement with your relative? Will your relative be using the address for P1 registration this year?

[agnesleong]

Hi qms, i did not sign any tenancy agreement with my relatives.

Izit necessary to have one if i m using the address to register?
No, their kids already grown up n they never use this address to register P1 in any year.
Thank you.
