[Bukit Panjang] Primary Schools

Any idea about Beacon and CHIJ?

baligirl:

BPPS total registration = 103
ZHPS total registration = 154 (no ballot)

In the morning of 2C first day registeration, I went to the school to help. I guess you went on the second day, right? Are you Maggie?

BTW, I stay in Block 235.

Hi 3BMummy,

I guess we must have met before then. I also did the Chinatown fieldtrip and helped with the mooncake festival last year. My dh did the LTS though.

Lets keep an eye for each other during Orientation. Are you doing anything for them now?

3BMUMMY:

Hi Vividlaurel,

Yes, I am a parent volunteer there. I mostly help on their swimming program last year, moon cake festivel and a field trip to Chinatown.
Do you stay in Bukit Panjang area?

[vividlaurel]

No I couldn't help this year for 2C as I was just back from a work trip. I am also not Maggie. I do a reading programme there though twice a week. So school is quite close for you then. We stay in Lompang Road, in Blk 175

Wonder how was the crowd for today at Beacon Primary School today?

Can anyone give stats for Beacon?


For CHIJ, my friend just went there, <1 can get in but for 1-2 km, need to ballot as 1 more application than seats! Real bad there!!

Hi to all! Wanna share my saddest experience in selecting sch for my boy. I went to Beacon y'day morning and called them to finalise the results. To my disappointment, I went to withdraw my application and re-applied at Greenridge.


I'm located between 1km - 2km so chances of balloting confirmed involved. Basically left only 15 places for 2C (bet 1km-2km). won't want to take the risk and rush like a hot head when balloting failed.

Awaiting SMS from Beacon Primary School for the final results…


Good Luck to all

Maybe the school will take in an extra applicant.

Looks like it's quite safe for me when my gal's turn comes.
