I am also keen to know the numbers for ACSP and Pei Hwa. Those who know, pls kindly share. Tq

Mummytang:

Hi BnW, Thanks a lot for your comments and sharing. Much appreciated!

Which year will your boy register for P1?

You’re welcomed! We just registered last week and have received the confirmation sms and letter. Hope you will get a place in your desired school at phase 2c!

janet88:

BnW:

agree.. or it could be my fren's case where they got a place in phase 2a via alumni but are now monitoring to try to get into a popular school within 1 km of their home in phase 2b.

this is normal. parents will secure a seat in phase 2A and then monitor vacancies under 2C...but didn't know those in 2B will withdraw. I remember we were so happy when we received the confirmation letter after registering in 2B.

oh ya, then probably very few in 2b will apply and withdraw in the same phase. better to just monitor and then apply to 1 school on day 2.

Mummytang:

BnW:

[quote=\"Mummytang\"]hi tinywings, thanks a lot for your advice.

Will there still be space in Qifa at phase2CS?
I can't seem to find feedback about Qifa primary and the demographics whether there's high numbers of foreigners.
I am just worried if fail at NH, might end up no where and further...

Hi mummytang,
I'm staying at west coast too. Nan hua is the most popular and most competitive amongst the 4 schools in the clementi area. Clementi Pri and Qifa are popular too and all the spaces are usually taken up by Phase 2c, so the only school with vacancies at Phase 2cs is Pei Tong Pri. Your question whether to go for NH or Qifa is a common dilemma amongst pp living in our area. Some decide to try balloting in Nan Hua while others just go for Qifa in phase 2c. I myself have decided to go for Qifa (which is 5 mins walk from my house and they are a decent school) then to take the risk.

hi BnW, thanks for sharing. I am also in a dilemma.... I saw last year that there was space in clementi pri at phase 2cs? Or maybe I did not look correctly. When are you registering your child? Could you share why you have decided to choose Qifa? What do you like about Qifa? Have you any feedback about the school that you can share? Many thanks in advance.[/quote]hi mummytang, i just went to see the balloting history and i think you are right. there was space in clementi pri at 2cs last year. I haven't been monitoring the stats so closely. but there were years where only pei tong has spaces in phase 2cs and this being the dragon year, the figures may not follow past year trends. you will hv to monitor the figures very closely this year to make the final call. Reasons why we chose qifa
1) we can apply under 2A(2)
2) it is a short walk from our house
3) a few of my neighbours kids are/were in the school and have good feedback. say it is a good school to develop kids, and a few kids transfer to NH after qualifying for gifted program. they have a good reading program in place. mostly good feedback but 1 neighbour wants to transfer her boy out as the school doesn't support competitive swimming. quite a few of my son's schoolmates in childcare and friend's friends (who stay in west coast) are also applying for qifa.
4) their academics have steadily improved over the years based on their number of psle scorers above 250 which i saw from their website. their core sports is volleyball where they have won medals. seems like they exposure all their students to volleyball during PE.
5) based on my child's progress in childcare which is more play thru learning based, i feel a good neighbourhood school will suit/develop him better than NH. i'll go for big fish in small pond effect, rather than a small fish in big pond theory for my boy.

that said, if your child suits a fast pace academic environment, NH is good. believe they get lots of exposure in other areas too. some of my frens did grassroots and apply through phase 2b. i didn't do that much research on the various schools so can't comment too much. a lot is based on friends/neighbours feedback. hope this info helps
