Hi Chief

Can u advise which school is better? St Gabriel's or Zhonghua? From its website it seems that Zhonghua's top PSLE students every year but why is it not so popular? :?

I am undecided between Rosyth and Aitong. I plan to move within 1 km of either school soon. Anyone has any recommendations?

They are both considered as elite schools and are henceforth very popular. Even if you stay within 1km, you may not get in if you can only register in Phase 2C. Think about that first before you move.

anyone know anything about PV with Rosyth? when should I apply for it? I am staying <2km of Rosyth, should I go for PV and try for 2B? What has been the statistics like for the past years? Thanks!

Phase 2B stats:
2006: Ballot for those staying out of 2km
2007: Ballot for those staying out of 2km
2008: No balloting (56 applicants for 58 places)

So if u are 2B within 2km, chances seem quite good (no guarantee though). Which year is ur child borned?

hehe I am abit kiasu. He’s born in 2007. But I know for some schools this is the year that I have to apply for PV. Do you know when I should apply for Rosyth? TIA!

Ur ds only 2 yrs old? LOL... not so sure abt Rosyth, probably it be best if u call up the school to ask.

[dozalot]

yup only 2 :oops: but when I heard that for Nanyang primary, application closed at 2yrs old, I thought I better enquire in case I missed the deadline. Also we might be away for 1 year around 2010 so need to do some planning.

My daughter is presently in Punggol Primary School. I would like to transfer her to Yangzhen Primary. Any parents with kids in Yangzhen. Good school? Good teachers?
