[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[tinkerbell]

Hi, there is in fact quite a fair bit of pre-schools in bt timah area.

here’s Faith Montessori, Eton Schoolhouse etc.

If you wish to go a bit further, there’s PATS SCHOOLHOUSE and Chiltern Schoolhouse in Halifax Road (behind KK Hospital).

In fact there are quite a no. of foreigners attending PAT’s Halifax so you might want to make an appmt with the principal.

Congrats 2u!
Did u see e board outside general office? MOE website? It's actually 62 applications.. Hmm.. But now who cares right...Hehe! In fact for girls who apply Nanyang 1km, at least there's a RGS to fall back. For boys, choices are limited. :roll:

Hi, how does this work? If the girls who didn't manage to get into Nanyang Pri in Phase 2C ballot, how would there be \"at least RGPS to fall back on\"? Considering the fact that once you are balloted out of 2C, you go into 2C Supplementary, and since RGPS has filled all vacancies by 2C, they won't be available for application in 2C Sup. Am I understanding this correctly?

...I am keen to send my daughter to MGS next year.

But I would like to know how is the school? In terms of the study load, homework load and the expectations of primary ONE. ...

There're some comments about MGS earlier in this thread. Have you checked them out yet?

Your understanding is right, there wont be any available places for RGPS in 2C supp if u failed balloting in NYPS under phase 2C. What u can do is to gauge whether ur chances higher in NYPS or RGPS under 2C and register in either one of them.

How far do u stay from the school? Do note that under phase 2B, based on past years trends, u would need to ballot if u stay out of 2km.

My hubby has been staying at Cornxxxxx Rd for the past 30++ years and have we have been long suffering because of the traffic conditions every school day and worst during special ocassions. We have parents who will park in front of our gate and have problems reversing out of our home day in and day out. And we thought that one day we will benefit from this...

Unfortunately for us we are the 1 out of the 6 parents who was not sucessful in phrase 2C. And as kiasu as we maybe we were first on the ballot list. Too bad so sad.

So when you are in a ballot, even the chances is very high, there is xx possibility that YOU could be that unlucky one. So do go for a guaranteed plc if there is a choice to avoid disappointment!!
