[Bishan] Primary Schools

I didn’t know KCP is such a "hot" school as well in Bishan. I think my % also not very much if under foster parents I will be under 1-2km and past history 1-2km requires balloting.


I am in a dilemma. I am trying for St nic under 2B and staying within 1km. So in case, i failed in the 2B balloting, shall I try my luck in 2C for St nic or 2C for KCP?

Both require balloting and for St nic 2C I am within 1km but require balloting. For KCP I am 1-2km also req balloting. How??? Can someone tell me what to do?

Did you get the recommendation letter from clan?

Hi anxiousparent,


Yes…I received the clan’s recommendation to register in AiTong. However, I passed up on it because I didn’t want to take the 50% chance, I’m 1-2km from the school and there are 10 registrants vying for 5 places, 34 registrants are within 1km.

My advice is don’t try this route unless you are within 1km, actually, even within 1km, you may not get a place, simply because you may not even get a recommendation from the clan.

Hi Bishan_mom,


Quite a pity to pass up on the reccomendation letter leh…

I heard that there is a minimum tenure to the clan’s membership before the committee will offer their recommendation. How many years have you been a member of the clan? I understand that for application to Ai Tong this year, your clan membership must be at leat 4 years old…Not sure if it is true.

Appreciate your advise.

Hi goosiegoose, based on years 2006-2008 statistics, CHIJ st nicholas conducted balloting under phase 2B for less than 1km. Hence you would not even have a chance to ballot since you are only staying within 2km even if you do PV.

Try to target another school.
