For SG50 babies registration, I really strongly advise applying to a very safe school that doesn’t require balloting (same advice as for Dragon year). You can find some gems out there across the island if u don’t restrict yourself only to a certain zone. People coming back from overseas have this advantage unless u need to squeeze in with your own parents’ existing accommodation.

If you are dead set on Newton/Novena area, I would recommend renting/buying next door to SJIJ. Plenty of new & old choices there. If suay suay need balloting and u don’t get the seat, at least you can still move on to Farrer Park Primary with a good chance at <1km in the next phase 2CS.[/quote]

We r not limited to the Novena area although there is our first choice. Btw, any reputable schools that like to take active kids? 😜My boy has vast curiosity of his surroundings, at times it may be viewed as overly active in the traditional education environment.

SG50 is a baby boom year. Expect the competition to be as tough as Dragon year. But I bet all your friends have been telling you that. Yes your chance to get into these popular schools under phase 2C is slim. ACSJ and ACSP will require balloting for <1km. SJIJ <1km usually you can escape balloting but SG50 year who knows.

You are looking for HDB flats in Newton/Novena area? Or are you using “flats” like how the British call their private apartments? Because there are hardly any HDB flats in this area.

There is a list in KSP of schools that *dont* accept PVs. Maybe you can look at that first.

Thanks for the advice!
Rite, we r looking for private condo. Apart fr above mentioned schs, any other recommendations in the surrounding area? :please:

Hi everyone, glad to find this informative forum and I can ask questions. My hubby is a SC and we hv a sg50 boy. We r going to move back sg for him to go the primary sch. Looking for flats in Novena/Newton D11 area. Not sure if that area can apply for ACS primary and ACs junior and St Joseph? We do not fall in any category of alumni and religion. Does it mean the chance to get into those schools is very slim?

Btw, where I can find the list of schools that offer parent volunteer and how I can apply for it?
Many thanks in adv!
