Hi all,


I have been visiting the forum for the past few days. Just noted that I need to report here first. I wanted to give it a try for good school for my kid. However, those good school are too far away from my estate.

Likely to choose good neighbourhood school in my estate if chances of getting into good school is slim.


Hi ChiefKiasu,

Many thanks to you for your prompt reply to my queries. I have a suggestion: wonder if you could add a new topic on "Special Needs Education". Nowadays, there are more and more kids with special needs and their parents are facing lots of challenges in juggling with daily chores, work and the special needs kids. I think the parents also need advise from other parents how to handle the challenging kids. Sharing of information and passed experience with other parents would be a great exchange of information platform for these parents too!

Just for your consideration.

Hi Iris Chan,


My nephews study in Admiralty Primary School. It is a popular school in Woodlands and always subject to balloting esp for Phase 2C. According to my sister-in-law, she feels that Evergreen and Greenwood Primary School is better. She advises me not to register my kid in Admiralty Primary School.

I am thinking to register my kid in Chong Fu but we are staying >2km. The chances of balloting in Phase 2B is very high. Hence, quite likely to do PV at Evergreen as it is also another popular school which subjected to balloting for Phase 2C yearly.

Hi Red_Rhino and ChiefKiasu,


Many thanks for your advice. I understand from my friend that St. Nicholas Girls accept kids with special talent such as gymnastics, the coach may put in recommendation to the school. Those kids with special talent thus has good opportunity to enrol in the school. Wonder if Chong Fu allows for such exceptions?

Hi,

I am staying >2km from Chong Fu Primary School. If I am a member of Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan and eligible for phase 2B which is subjected to balloting.

For e.g. if the eligible vacancies are 60 and no. of applicants are 70. Wonder if I will get a chance for balloting as I understand priority for balloting will be based on distance.

Anyone can advise me. Many thanks.
