Hi Mummy of 3


Thanks for the advice.

Yes I do think of register my girl to Beacon School. I went to visit the school a few months ago, the environment and classroom style are quite good. However, I do not have the chance to talk to the teachers. My main concern is that the shcool focus too much on IT and my girl will be very IT savvy but lazy in writing.

As for Greenridge, any advice or feedback.

Sure we will think carefully before we make the decision.
Cheers
SOUTYL

Hi all!


Am very new here and stressed out by the latest news of BPPS registration.

I’m serving my hours as PV (within 2km) at BPPS for 2013 P1 registration. was informed that BPPS increased their PV intake from 60 to 80 and there will be balloting for P2B this year (which is next friday)…

I can see my chances of balloting under P2B is so slim now sob sob

Hi Soutyl,


Not true that the school focus mainly on IT, cause my gal who is in Pri 1 still does journal writing, workbook exercise, xi zhi etc. So far she only use computer for story reading / recording / extra enrichment website ( optional ) and a small project. She is enjoying herself in school. Most importantly, the children must like the environment and teachers else their learning interest will not be there. good luck

:yikes: 80 PV... For 2005 batch is 72 PV (49 within 2km). For what i know is BPPS take in all the PV. This year P2A2 shocked me as there are 68 app. So in future really donno what will happen. This year will ballot within 2km, maybe next year not. U should try PV on Beacon or Greenridge also. If i fail in the balloting next Friday, i may go to Greenridge or Qifa for P2C.

Hi mummy of 3!


Am quite lost now… not sure which school to go for as the backup =(

Beacon and Greenridge PV application I believe is closed already? What I heard fr BPPS VP is this year alot of siblings and old boy & girl, hence high application in P2A2.

Any pointers for Greenridge and Beacon? Am nearer to Greenridge (<1km), further from Beacon (1-2km). Beacon is getting popular, the chances of getting a seat in P2C is good?

All the best to you for next Friday!!

Mayb u want to try and do PV and keep your finger cross for next year intake. P2C u choose Greenridge as u stay within 1km. I agree that Beacon is getting popular and more are going there so hope my P2C to Greenridge no need ballot within 1km...

Hi Mummy of 3 and Jolin78


Thanks for the advice and information. We will either register NYPS or Beacon. Have signed up PV for Beacon but no reply from the School yet. Have a nice weekend.

soutyl, you mean you have already been accepted PV for Beacon but not notified for any PV duty yet? Or applied but not confirmed yet? Coz got to be accepted as PV before 1 Jul to qualify for P2B in 2012 P1 registration. If I am you, I would probably just go for NYPS too and just take it from there. But of coz you know your kid best, so you can make the best choice for your child.

Hi patntee


I submitted the application form quite sometime ago but until now I have not heard from them yet. May be too many applications?
