      Hi all,


      If my child already get accepted into Jurong Primary Sch. And at phase 2C now, I see that there are 66 slots at Jurong Primary Sch. Can I withdraw my kid and go apply at Rulang (at 2C now there are 22 slots)? But my chance not high cos I stay between the 1 to 2km (not within 1km). If I fail to get into Rulang, can I still go back to apply Jurong Primary Sch?

          Rulang <1km ballot. Don't be silly. Just stay at Jurong PS.

            My daughter qualify for phase 2A2 for St.Hilda but I stay at Sengkang now. I wonder if it is worth the travelling distant from Sengkang to Tempinese or simply just enrol her to a school nearby.

              “Worth” is a value that’s impossible for outsiders to determine.

              Do you find it worthwhile to trade an additional hour of travel for a popular, affiliated school? And is it worthwhile to trade the extra distance with certainty vs shorter / nearby with uncertainty? The latter will also be dependent on the question “which nearby school?”

                  Sengkang and Tampines aren’t exactly far apart. You should wake up at 6-6:30am to see for yourself the type of school uniforms on the road near you. You will be surprised I am sure of the lengths that some students go through each morning

                    Newbie question:


                    Choosing between Junyuan and Tampines primary at the moment and notice that on MOE website that JY doesn’t offer higher mother tongue but tampines primary does. Is there any reason for that?

                    Dilemma in choosing the school now as both school are about equal distance from our place. CCA doesn’t has alot of diff as well.

                    Any advice or experience to share from gurus here? Thanks!

                      All schools at p5 and 6 will offer higher Chinese to the students who are able/keen.


                      More importantly, do you want your kid to start higher Chinese in P1?

                        Would prefer to have the option to have that.


                        It means for jy they won’t have option for kid to go higher Chinese class from p1, but tamp pri has that option from p1?
