good luck to all the parents for year 2010 registration for P1

[Yerdua]

Hi,


I’m tied between xingnan and juying…

Javbaby and all juying parents, can tell me more abt juying? Juying’s school environment, rowdy? Does the school teachers communicate with parents? Are the children the study study type?

Thks!

Hi ST Lee,


Very much alike, I face similar problems as you. M residing in Jurong West and registrating P1 for my DD this July.

I have the Vacancy report for Phase 2cS in PDF but not sure how to share it in here. Chief Kiasu, can you guide me on that? Thanks.
Alternatively, you can give me your email, and I will email you the report.

My suggestion to you is that you give West Grove a call closer to date to check on your chances. Based on the statistics, you have to be really lucky in order to get into West Grove under 2c. West Grove & Rulang are the most popular schools in Jurong West area.

In fact, most schools located within 2 km from my pl, all require balloting.
So much abt asking parents to try to put their children near home. How to do that when it's so difficult to get into the school in the 1st pl. Haiz....

My boy currently in Juying P1. Like Javbaby, I think the teachers are very nice.


They involve parents in many activities. Eg : the Chinese New year celebration, Friendship day, Reading Marathon (in the evening, 6.30pm to 8pm, so far they organize 2 already).

ST Lee:

... Like all parents, we are thinking to register my boy in West Grove ( as first choice & go for balloting ) but, based on your statistic, the chances to get a seat is very very low ( last year : 30 % ) , and I guessed this year might be tougher ??? : (

Yes, West Grove is definitely difficult to get in (1 in 3 chance even if you stay within 1km!). Go for it if you have the stomache for the stress level. If you fail, you still have a very good chance of getting into Pioneer, which is not bad either. Unless something really strange happens, you are unlikely to get into Phase 3 with these choices.

Alternatively, target Xingnan for Phase 2C and have a stress-free P1 Registration exercise
