Hi…


Any idea is Blk 438 Fajar Rd within 1km from Beacon?

Thanks…

I think it should be. Just to be on the safe side, just call the school and confirm with them.

Hi everyone, my daughter is born in 2004 and due to register for P1 next year. I’m staying at Blk 603 Senja Rd and my parent-in-law is staying Blk 137 Petir Rd.


My 1st choice is BPPS, 2nd choice not sure yet.

Can anyone tell me is B603 fall within 2km of BPPS? What are the 2nd choices if using my PIL address?

Thank alots!

Seiko,
if you are working fulltime and you using the grandparents' address at Petir, even if it is <1km to BPPS, you will be categorised as within 1-2km applicants.
For Phase 2C, BPPS needs balloting for those staying <1km, so if you are in this phase, you have to be within 1km from BPPS to stand a chance to ballot.

I think your blk is between 1-2 km. If you use your PIL address, it automatically will fall in the 1-2 km even though they will be within 1 km.


The other schools you can try are Beacon, CHIJ,. Greenridge, all which went for balloting this year.

Hi Seiko

Blk 603 falls in the 1-2km of BBPS, which means no chance at all, of cos unless you become a PV.

As for Beacon & CHIJ, both is also in the 1-2km range, which is also quite risky. You can try Greenridge & ZhengHua & of cos, West View

No chance at all? So serious...
Is West View a gd school?

seiko,

there is no 'which school is better' although academic and popularity wise, BPPS tops in the Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood.

Beacon - new compound; parents are drawn to the new teaching method and the good feedback from parents of current students with regards to the quality of teachers

Greenridge - traditional teaching, one of the popular choices of parents who initially wanted to choose BPPS but worry about balloting and hence divert their attention to Greenridge.

CHIJ - girls school; popular for parents who prefer to send their dds to an all girls' school and a mission school environment

Westview - the least popular of the lot; maybe cos the school has a pretty short history; if you read in this thread, there is someone who did a brief comment.

you should check the historical data on balloting, determine your distance away from the school to check your chances in Phase 2C before listing down your preferred 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice school.
