I think you should just register at Cath High under phase 2a first. I can understand the distance travelling is a hinderance but at least you have secured a place in one of the top popular school.

Usually Tao Nan requires balloting under Phase 2c (< 1km) unless you can register him under Phase 2b which is for community volunteers, parent volunteers etc. Note however that for this year, Tao Nan also has balloting for those living < 1km under Phase 2b.

if i were you, i will move and send my boy to cat high. it is a top school and has affliation! It is definitely a better choice than tao nan. FYI, this year tao nan phase 2B required balloting within 1km.

Catholics is a better choice for it's affiliation to the secondary school and the fact that you are at Phase 2A as compared Tao Nan where you still probably need to ballot at < 1km.

I would also ask how many children you have? If all are boys then Catholic will be a clear winner....but if you have a girl....then you would have to think about which school you wanna send your gal to...

Tactic: register CH at Phase 2A, and watch out for TN at Phase 2C (or 2B is you are in the clan/PV)


But rationally, I think you may want to visit the schools (e.g. open house) to find out for yourself whether CH is one that you would like to send your kids to. CH is a great school, but as verykiasu2010 has said before, one man’s meat is another man’s poison…

Just to ask, how do you know when are the open house for the schools?

Call the school and ask. Not all schools have open house.

[i3mum]

ok thanks, will check with the school.

:goodpost: & Good suggestion by mommyNg.
ralf2, you can find out about the travelling time for your DS in the meanwhile & work out the required logistics for a better assessment. :celebrate:

Hi,


I am just wondering during the balloting, will they call out the name of the child or the number allocated to you when you register in the school?
