hello..


today i went to Jiemin and the staff told me that those less than 1km has already exceed the vancancy!!! therefore Balloting is required for those less than 1km.... Again!!!!!

ohya, jiemin pri building really looks old ya, haiz

can some1 advise what is the next school after Jiemin ? All the rest are 1-2km from my house.

Wow... kinda expected though. Sad for all those parents beyond 1km hoping to get into Jiemin.

BTW... if school buildings look old, they could be in line for upgrading works which means the school may have to move to another temporary location in the future. This may cause inconvenience subsequently. Better check with the school if they have such plans on their charts.

As for other schools... seems like other parents are now zeroing in on Ahmad Ibrahim.

Hua Min might be another possible choice? I’ve been there 2 times and I really like the peaceful and quietness at that estate. It is pretty airy there and less traffic so it is pretty safe for our kids.


They are also single session so that will be a plus point also…

That's a good strategy - sometimes it is not about how branded the school is, but about how well your child can perform in the environment. Single session schools may allow more extensive and enriched coverage of each level's syllabus due to the extended hours. Children may also foster closer bonds to the school.

snggy... congrats! Was it a big or small stone? BTW, having friends who are parents of children in the same school (or even better, same class) is one of the key requirements of successful KiasuParents. You will know what I mean when your child comes home with a marked test paper of an exam you never knew existed :? .

Hey 2galsmum - You also going there? Wow...Sure. Will look out for you...

ChiefKiasu - Thanks...Well, a big stone for me....Ha Ha Ha....Although I never wanted my son to go in CF very badly but when you are there for the ballot....Your heart beats fast and you just wanted to hear the name of ur kid....Anyway, it was terrible going through a ballot....Somemore there were 3 sets of twins n they all got in....So lucky...

haiz, didn’t get in the for Jiemin balloting as well


i will be choosing single session sch now. looking at Ahmad Ibrahim as got 90+ seats available, hopefully no ballot AGAIN

looking at Yishun Pri but left 20+ seats only so think sure needs balloting then

any advise on yishun schools?
