Maybe this time round Cantonment Primary can be backup plan where many parents would go until when it is Phase 2C Supplementary.

Will parents go for Cantonment Pri if GESPS still has vacancies in P2CS? :?

Maybe they will try for GESPS first in P2CS, and if they get balloted out, they will choose Cantonment Pri. as one of the three choices? :idea:

Maybe this year Blangah Rise Primary 不会包尾了where there is now a new school Cantonment Primary. There is indeed very little discussions on Blangah Rise Primary.

For Cantonment Primary to be attractive enough for parents to consider putting their kids there maybe the school has to put forth certain selling points since its new. A good IT infrastructure or a good principal may help?

I know a few forummers here who stay near Blangah Rise Pri School. Perhaps they don't find it appropriate to comment about the school here? :scratchhead:

But didn't GESPS also have balloting last year for 2C Supplement. To add to it they did pretty good for their PSLE last year. So I guess the balloting history for this school will also be changing this july

Gan Eng Seng Primary with thier top PSLE in 2009 defintely their profile would increase. Maybe this time round GESPS would have balloting in Phase 2C. I bet there won't be availabe places available in the Phase 2CS.

Maybe they can adopt Beacon Primary as an example? Heard that school become so popular as it is an IT school? Last year a new school name Horizon Primary in Punnggol also have many places left not yet being filled up.

Actually, if I were staying in The Pinnacle, I wouldn't mind sending my kids to Cantonment Pri. because distance was crucial to me. But, that's just me only..... :idea:

But even with any selling point or infrastructure it would take a few years for a school to be popular enough to conduct balloting

Parents whose children are in Horizon Pri seem very pleased with the school.
