Thank you all for the replies. My child is sg50 baby…I think most likely need to ballot…yes I stay less than 1km as well…so possibly higher chances but still no gurantee…haiz very headache

I have been accepted by SSHK alr…waiting for avail volunteer spots to do volunteering…So still have time actually…what is GYPS? Yeah I know the balloting is a must so taking chances here…So in your opinion I shldnt take the chance and go for st hildas? Phase 2C past history confirm must ballot one right…

Hi, we are currently 1km from Ats but will need to go through the balloting phase within 1km. My husband is a alumni at St hildas…and my son is a more jiak kantang boy, speaks more eng and all. Would like to ask your views if you were us, would you just go for st hildas and travel to and fro for 6 yrs (I will be driving but still…) or take the chance for ats? I could do volunteering as well so possibly be able to ballot at the phase before 1km as well…will you guys take the chance or go for st hildas…?

Hi just want to find out if anyone lives very far away from st hildas and how are you guys coping?


We are currently living in Bishan area and alumni is all the way at St hildas. Would you guys advocate to move closer to sch? There is ai tong sch just 5mins away within 1km and we are torn if we shld take the chance to ballot or move…

And if st hildas is the choice, would you move or stay put?

based on St Hilda primary website school bus vendor information, there is no school bus route to Ai Tong. This being the case, every morning, how is your child going to school, come rain or shine, for 6 years ahead ? If you examine detailed pdf (school bus route) below, school bus only fetcch students staying around the east.

if your spouse or you (parent) drive, since there is time now until P1 registration, why not try one day driving from your home in Ai Tong district to St Hilda, see how the morning traffic (jam) is like ? This should be able to provide the answer you asking, whether to shift house or not, nearer (closer) to St Hilda.

If you plan (intend) to de-register your child out of Phase 2A (St Hilda), because you need to come out of Phase 2A first, release and let go your Phase 2A seat, in order to ballot for Ai Tong < 1 km under Phase 2C, in the event of failed balloting at 2C, what's your back-up plan ?

Yeah think will try to do that..no back up plan..the only thing is to do volunteering so that we can ballot for the volunteering phase too..so if really bad luck then jiat lat alr...so the question is should
1)we stay put and not move and go for st hildas, chauffeur everyday
2)move to east and go for st hildas
3) stay put and ballot for ai tong

AI Tong phase 2C <1km still need to ballot (and with poor odds some more). Smarter to go for St Hilda’s at phase 2A which is bao jiak.

It’s up to u whether u want to move. It’s “only” for the convenience of your child getting more sleep for his/her 6 very vital brain and body-growing years. It has no bearing on getting priority into the school.

While I think it’s smarter to go for SHPS, it’s probably not the best option unless you decide to move house.

There’s no easy path from Bishan / Sin Ming to Tampines. Too indirect and takes too long by public transport. Even if you drive, it’s going to be a long drive using Bartley Road / viaduct / Tampines Ave 1 (PIE is lagi worst with the jam). Remember, you have got to do this for 6 years.[/quote]Hmm public transport with the mrt from tampines to paya lebar then to circle line about half an hr we calculated..bus is of course too long..so it's me doing the chauffering loh..But if we move to east which is bedok/siglap area the car driving is about the same lei..but am if go at hildas whole 6 yrs will be travelling to east and curriculum classes friends all east right..will affect his overall sch/play life right..

The thing is if we move we are only looking at most bedok area/siglap cause we don't really like the tampines area. So we calculate the traffic time to St hildas, both about the same time travel cause bedok/siglap to St hildas use all the small roads whereas from ai tong here is using the Bartley via duct. So about the same time travel. This is of course if I were to fetch him by car..But by mrt also pretty fast now with the change at paya lebar to circle line at marymount..
