RMPS will be balloting within 1km for P2C.
If u stay within 2km then u got no chance at all.
Try other school instead.

so big...

Class size will be 30 kids in 1 class for P1 and P2(Maybe)

:slapshead: Is this a case of selective retention of information?

The big class size only applies to P3 and above. I believe all the schools follow MOE's guidelines in this aspect.

Just to share my own experience, I'm within 1km of Zhangde and Radin Mas and I registered in phase 2B last year. I decided to go for Zhangde as it is within walking distance. After school started, I found to my horror that DS's kindergarten classmates, living next block, are spending 1 hour each way to take the school bus to Radin Mas. That's 2 hours a day . DS is very thankful that he is not studying in Radin Mas. Do consider carefully as all the time spent travelling can add up significantly over the years.

How is your son in Zhangde?

He's very happy there. Two of his kindergarten classmates are in his class. He loves having pocket money to buy food and saving the remainder.
