Hi does anyone know if P1 pupils need to go through some sort of entry tests before the school allocating them to their classes? Is it true that if kids get a place in the "best class" at the level then it doesn’t really matter which school they go to, whether it is SV or Kranji.

Does anybody know if schools still give priority to citizen during phase 3 or every kids will go through balloting?

Just called up MOE, it is exactly like you have stated in your reply! Thanks

Thanks guys for all the useful tips and reply.


As we have only submitted the PR application for our children last week, which will take 4-6 months to process, does it mean that we won’t be able to register my son duringng Phase 3 as he needs to have some sort of status to stay in the Singapore, for example a student pass or a dependant pass?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the info.


Does anyone know about kindergartens in CCK/Yew Tee area especially PCF kindergartens?

Based on my limited choice of schools, which one is better? I heard lots of negative reviews on Kranji. Should I consider sending him to a school in nearby neighborhood?

Thank you so much for your reply!

Thanks for your reply. Which school would u recommend personally?

Hi everyone,


I am desperately needing advices from you lot here. My husband and I are both PR but our kids aren’t. We have just submitted the PR applications for them last week and apparently it takes 4-6 months to approve. My eldest son is going to P1 next year, I guess there is no way for us to register him in any school during P2C or P2CS but to wait until P3 for foreigners registration? We are living within 1.1km from Teck Whye, 1.2km from CCKPS, 1.4km from DLS, 1.6km from Concord, 2.3km from Kranji, 2.75km from Yew Tee, and 3.26km from Unity. I think there is nothing I can do at the moment but to check the vacancies available after P2CS by calling up the schools? What happens if all the 8 schools in CCK is filled up? WIll the MOE send my child to the next nearest school in the nearby neighbourhood?

Another question, we are also looking for a kindergarten in CCK, can anyone recommend one? I heard Kinderland and Apple Tree is good but their fees are high. Has anyone sent their child to PCF Choa Chu Kang Blk 10 or Blk 123? Are they any good?

Thank you so much in advance.
