Just to get some opinion here: between RMPS and Alexandra, which do you view is a better school and why?
RMPS has a good track record, Alexandra has yet to see its first batch of students graduate from PSLE but has a high-profile principal and vice principal.

Titank, I think so too, due to the temporary relocation to a holding school. I went to the open house and the school is quite run down.

I think the twins considered as having taken two vacancies, unless they are drawn last. This is according to the principal’s briefing before the start of balloting.

Thanks, qms!
Yiwen, same here, I am between 1-2km from Alexandra, so switched over to take the less risky option of Radin Mas over Alexandra kind of last minute. -
RE: [Bukit Merah] Primary Schools
I am thankful to get through the balloting for RMPS too, even though Alexandra was our preferred choice.
I believe balloting will be much more tense at Alexandra. -
RE: [Bukit Merah] Primary Schools
I think someone must have withdrawn. As at last Friday at 4:20pm, RMPS office told me there were 51 applicants <1km vying for 48 places.

Anyone has any thoughts of Cantonment Primary? Considering that as a backup for Phase 2C(S). I ever heard that it is not bad, though no details were shared.

RE: [Bukit Merah] Primary Schools
I visited Zhangde personally this afternoon. As at the end of today, they said 60 applicants are <1km, 18 within 1-2km. They will likely be taken up completely for Phase 2C.
As for ALPS, they only willing to divulge the no. of applicantions already exceeded the total number of vacancies.
Hope more parents who visit the schools can post and share the number of applicants and breakdown by distance for the benefit of everyone.
