Hi,


I would like to check are there any parents who live in Jurong area and sending the kids by school bus? I have called the transport contact listed in the kindergarten website and the bus does not travel to Jurong.

Can anyone advise on this? Thanks a lot.

Yes that's exactly what happened when I called them. There was no mention of applicants by distance until I asked. To be fair, the info on the 2 PR applicants was proffered by the staff.

The problem is I did ask. Even double confirm and told the staffs in my 2 calls that I want to know the number of applicants within 1km. And I told them I am outside 2km, and was told I wont even get a chance to ballot twice.

I called pei hwa twice today and the last time at around 3.20pm to check. Was told that there was 30 within 1km. As I am outside 2km, I thought there is no chance already even for ballot, and did not managed to register. I just realized from the post here that is ballot for outside 2km! I wonder if there is any recourse, really felt cheated!


Is it a norm for schools to give such gross mis-information? I wonder if anyone else receive this update from the school when they called. Twice when I called, I was given figures that there will be ballot even within 1km. I thought I can trust the school.
