Just want some opinion. My DS is due for P1 registration this year under Phase 2B via GRL route. I have three choices(Bukit Panjang Pri School / Beacon Primary School / Henry Park Primary School) but can't decide which one to go for it as all three schools may need to ballot if number of applicants exceed vacancies.

This is the scenario for ALL schools, not only these three schools.

What is the distance of the schools from your house?

Within 2 KM for Bukit Panjang Pri School / Beacon Primary School but more than 2 KM for Henry Park Primary School.

Hi madagascar,


FYI. Last year, BPPS was ballot within 2km under P2B. 13 ppl but 7 seats only.
For Beacon, all get in under P2B. As for HPPS, all within 2km get in. (correct me if im wrong). Bcoz i rem a parent staying within 2km and no balloting for her child.
U r a GRL, right? Y u nv choose Greenridge as the 3 choices?

Hi Mummy of 3,

Greenridge Primary School & West View Primary School will be my choice for Phase 2C if my child don't get in through Phase 2B.

Out of my 3 choices, I think Beacon should have the most chances to get in.

FYI. Greenridge under P2B also all get in.
Y u choose HPPS than Greenridge? So Greenridge will be P2C and West View will be P2C Supp, right?

Anyway, u will get in to Beacon so dun worry

One of my niece will be enrolling in HPPS under P2A2 this year and they stay few blocks away from us. I thought it would be good for my child to be in the same school and share the same transport as well. My cousin is a SAHM so she can ferry both kids to-and-fro at the same time. HPPS is a popular school so I am worried that I may need to ballot.
