gelfish, if you can't solve your transport problem, why not consider http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/school/new-town-primary-school if that is near you? It is not bad at all.

Hi Gelfish,


Perhaps you can consider the following Pri Sch as they are near to Alexandra.

(i) Queenstown Pri
(ii) New Town Pri
(iii) Gan Eng Seng Pri
(iv) ZhangDe Pri

Transport problem would be a real issue since there is no school bus from Pei Hua. Even if have, imagine morning class what time the gal have to wait for the bus. 8 Km away.

Wish you good luck.

Is Gan Eng Seng pri affailated to its sec sch? If yes, it would be a good choice over the rest in Queenstown/Alexandra area.

Hi everyone, I am new here and need some advice on my son’s P1 registration this year. We are in Phase 2C and we stay in Queenstown area. We have shortlisted the following choices:


In order of preference:
(1) River Valley (outside 2 km)
(2) Zhangde (within 1-2 km)
(3) Gan Eng Seng and Queenstown (both within 1km)

Do you think we should try RV or Zhangde? If both fail, does anyone know if GES or Queenstown is a better school? Thanks!!

Think you can try ZhangDe, Queenstown or Gan Eng Seng at Phase 2C where do not have any balloting. River Valley at Phase 2C would have balloting. Good luck!

Thanks Titank! So looks like I won't stand a good chance at River Valley. Do you think I should try River Valley at Phase 2C, and if I can't get a place, then try Zhangde at Phase 2C Supp? But looking at past statistics, all the places at Zhangde would most likely be taken up at Phase 2C.......

[titank]

Oh depnd on your guts feeling loh, but I would try something there is more confirm. Ballot really depends on luck.


Maybe you check River Valley how many places being left after Phase 2B.

Hi all, my son is in phase 2 C. We’re going for Zhangde (<1km) or GESPS (1-2km). There’s a high proportion of neighbourhood boys who goes to Zhangde in my HDB block, who seems to behaving very ‘samseng’.



Are you sure Zhangde won awards for character building ?

There are sam seng and pai gia kids in even the elite and branded schools. Zhangde did have the lowest level awards for character development initiatives (see http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_SearchDtls.asp?strCode=1199).
