[Jurong West] Primary Schools

[neptune]

I have signed up for PV at West Grove for my son who is born in 2004. The principal say that there is a high chance of balloting because the no. of PV is really huge.


Another alternative is to register my son in my old school at Henry Park Primary but it's really really far away.

Any suggestions? Really really at a loss. :? Tks alot!!

Hi neptune,


You might want to consider registering for Henry Park first.

Then, during Phase 2B, you check out the situation for West Grove. If there is a confirmed situation for balloting, at least you have secured a place in a good school for your kid. If situation ends up with no balloting, then very close to closing time, you withdraw from Henry Park and go for West Grove…

But if you are very concerned about the distance, then may also want to check out other schools nearby instead…

My 2 cents worth… good luck!

Oh... ChiefKiasu, would you happen to have the same report, but at phrase 2c, with no. of vacancy available & no. of applicants applied for it. If you do have it, pls share it with me/us. I've been digging high n low for this report. Ur help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Westgrove phase 2C:
2006: 101 vacancies, 345 applicants
2007: 125 vacancies, 316 applicants
2008: 118 vacancies, 355 applicants

Rulang phase 2C:
2006: 49 vacancies, 174 applicants
2007: 47 vacancies, 162 applicants
2008: 81 vacancies, 154 applicants

Both schools conducted balloting for those staying within 1km in all 3 years for phase 2C. But the no of applicants MOE released on top include those staying out of 1km also (though that should be minimal I guess). So if you want to know how many of the applicants were within 1km, maybe u can call up the schools to ask.

Hi Luanee,

Thank you for the info.
:stupid: Within 1 km already balloting.. And only West Grove and Pioneer Primary is within 1km for me. Any comments about Pioneer Primary School? Saw somewhere in the forum tt the current principal was from Rulang. Is it true?

[WinnieThePooh]

anyone can tell me Xingnan & Juying would it be necessary to work as parents volunteer to guarantee a place ?

Hi Cin,


For distance, call up the school, they will be able to let you know.

You had better hurry, for PV the dateline is 30June if it is not already closed.

Good luck!

You are most welcome, cin. Yes! By 30Jun2009 you gotta be a PV then serve 40 hours within the 1 year means by 30Jun2010. Then the P1 registration is in July 2010 for P1 entering Jan 2011.

If you wanna PV then you really gotta decide fast otherwise you will have to go for your ex-school or try out the scary Phase 2C..
