[xuanfam]

Hi


need advice. am currently staying within 1 km of northland and 2km from chongfu. I hv submitted PV to northland but subject to interview. Hv registered at Hokkien assoc member and thinking of moving nearer to chongfu.

What is the best strategy here? cant decide between both. they are seem good to me. if both fails, what is the back up?

Hi,


I’m new here too. Just started to look into P1 matters for my boy who is born in 2005 and I’m surprised that a lot of PV registration has closed. Never tot that I’m late in looking at such matters until now.

Called Chong Fu (CF) just now to try my luck since PV application was closed last month but received an unpleasant "Closed… Sorry" :x

Have a couple of questions, hopefully some kind souls can help me with them:

1) What are the chances of transferring into CF later on if my child gets posted to another school?

2) For transfer cases, do they look at the location of where u stay?

3) My mum who stays in Yishun is currently the caregiver for my children. So before I submit any PV application, must I go to MOE to do this declaration thingy?

i have a questiong here for Chong Fu:

1)heard that the school is going renovate, and change to single session…does it mean that they will reduce the intake?
2)if i stay <1km, and do PV for the school…it zzit very safe to need to ballot under 2B?

hi,


Can any parent share how he or she feels about Xishan Primary? My friend just shifted to Yishun and is living next to it. She is thinking of placing her kid there.

Based on history, only those who are >2km in phase 2b need balloting for CF

[xuanfam]

tot for Chong Fu, need to be within 1 km…

oh ya

based on statistics for phase 2b, need to ballot only for more than 2km in chongfu case. strange cos i tot it is a popular school. it could be cos of the no of residential around CF. will this trend continues cos now am staying b/w 1-2km of chongfu

Hi all and Chiefkiasu


1.Between Yishun Pri and Ahmad Ibrahim Pri, which is overall a better school in terms of conduct, CCA, academic, environment, etc? Some told me YP, while others AIP, totally making me very confused.

2.Could you also share the racial ratio in each school(by each class)?

3.On weekdays me and kid stay with my parents(caretakers) whose within 1 km from the two schools. Though we are also staying within 1 km from Chongfu Pri I dont plan to do PV or join clan, so can I assume its pointless for me to try for Chongfu Pri?

4.Does it mean I have to change my address on my IC to my parents' address in Yishun in order to qualify for Yishun schools? Is it wrong?

5.I thought of going to their schools to have a look at the environment, but will security allow strangers in?

Any other advice will be appreciated. Many thanks.
