I understand balloting required 'Luck'... Most of my friends are really on luck and got their kids in those hot schools thru balloting even my step-sis's DS got in to Nanyang Pri thru ballot! :yikes:

I'm staying at Commonwealth and my children stay with my parent near Bukit Merah, my in-law's place at Tiong Bahru. My kids will continue to stay with my parent as my hubby & I had planned to move next to them in 1-2 yrs' time for convenient purpose. My MIL is a very nice lady, she always offered to help to take care of my kids if my parent are busy though she still hv to care for my hubby's niece & nephew.
I was thinking is best to chose a school between Bt Merah and Tiong Bahru. The safest pri sch my DD will sure to get in is GESPS which I find this school average only... :slapshead:
How ya!?

I had 4 kids, 5th one coming this Aug. My 1st 3 DD only 1 yr gap so I really must be very careful in choosing the pri sch for them.

My eldest DD is going P1 next yr. I'm an old girl in GESPS so do my husband but was not sure if I shld enrol her in.. My choice is RVPS, I had to go MOE to do statutory declaration to prove my child is under the care of my MIL so I can use the address to register her there but under 2C balloting. My MIL's place also very near to ZDPS, after I read posts fm here and realised ZDPS is quite a good school too. Now I saw post that Queenstown not bad too(I'm staying near there)! But it might be troublesome for my DD to travel there as she is being taken care by my ma who is staying at Telok Blangah.
So now I was rather headache if I shld register her to Queenstown or GESPS or ZDPS or stick back to RVPS to try my luck on balloting.
My ma ever told me not to enrol them to a school which required longer time on travelling. She said at least she can still bring them/pick them from school with my dad or maid.
Need advise...
