hphammie:

hi, thinking of getting a unit at Park Central, which is just next to Jingshan Pri School. did anybody hear of any negative comments about this school?

Hi hphammie,
If you are looking for nearby schools, think Townsville or Teck Ghee should be a better choice.

Btw, how old is your child?

[hphammie]

thanks for the recommendation…

but if the standard is similar, i would prefer less travelling…
unless the reputation for the nearby school is really bad…
for the other 2 schools, still need to take bus…
my daughter is 4 yrs old now…
so we’ll prob move in when she is in P1 or P2

Park central; $500 psf; on high ground next to JS; solid.

Chief, Am planning to send my child to St. Nicholas School next year and am living in AMK Ave 10 which is far from St.Nicholas School. But am willing to relocate for my child and By when should i move to within 1km distance, if i need to be qualified for the 1km distance admission.
Also pls highlight me what all should i do to get my child admission into St. Nicholas School. Pardon me, i really have no idea about all this.

Next year?? You mean your girl going to P1 next year? For St Nic at AMK, every year they ballot phase 2B and 2C within 1 km....if you are not a parent volunteer by now...then you will have to go thru' phase 2C balloting, which is very very competitive.

Good luck!

Oh no… Do you think i can be a volunteer now for next year?

Oh no, definitely not.....they close PV for this July enrollment for P1 for next year - last june, if I am correct.

sgKiasu, have you gone through the articles listed http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/getting-primary-school?.

If by 2010 intake you mean your daughter will be in P1 by next year, and if you have no means of getting in at Phases before 2B, then you are in for a difficult time. Look at the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/ang-mo-kio. And if you are staying more than 1km from St Nicholas, you should not consider that school at all, because it will be impossible to get in without any affiliation.
