You can be present for the balloting. I strongly advise don't bring kids along.

Hi, i'm new here, i need help about which school to chose for my son this year. My 母校 is Pei Chun but i am staying in Yishun and i am worry about the distance and there are quite a few goods pri school in Yishun. If i give up and go for phrase 2C which i am looking at Northland primary which is near my house. But i worry my son can't get it. What should i do? I really need some advise cause i am so worry, don't know what to do. Thanks .

If I may add, the history of Northland is usually balloting for SC within 1 km and is 2 for 1 space.

Sometimes, you may want to take into consideration the distance. I am aware of at least 1 in my DD school who takes more than 1 hour to reach school and that is by school bus as she is the first to board en-route to school and last to alight when going home.

Hi, yes i did take distance into consideration, my friend three kids are in Pei Chun and they're staying in Hougang and it take quite long to reach home and they all look so tired.

Saw few posts that NL, CF and a few schools in Yishun last year had balloting, just hoping this year won't be so. I am staying in the central.

You can pick a guarantee school (which happens to be a good school) in Phase 2A and use the school bus to solve your distance / logistic issue. Or you can risk balloting in Phase 2C and may end up in your least preferred choice.

If you are ok with the alternatives in Yishun like Ahmad Ibrahim, North View, etc, then go for balloting. Personally, I'll stick to Pei Chun in Phase 2A and save myself the stress and worrying.

I am a single working parent, school bus fee maybe a problem for me as i have checked the fee from Pei Chun transport company. But it is a pity if i give up Pei Chun.

I just worry if he can't go to the school nearby will MOE put him in far away Pri School?

Izzit so important to put them in a good school? :scratchhead:
