Hi. I was balloted out of Red Swastika and need to enter to phase 2CS. Am considering Bedok Green and would like some advice, both good and bad about this sch. Pls pls advise. Thanks.

Hi, I was balloted out of Yu Neng to enter Phase 2Cs. Both of us are worried and highly stressful. It will be good to go on the 15th to see the applicants registered. Are you staying within 1 km radius from Bedok Green? If positive, high chance will go in. However, I suspect there will be balloting done for Bedok Green for applicants < 1 km radius. So all the best to you.

There are quite a few student care centres at Blk 509 and Blk 510 Bedok North Street 3. You can go there and explore. I went there to reccee too. Some student care centres are very practical. They only take in students from Yu Neng and Fengshan. Others maybe St Anthony. Further than that they would not take in. Surprise, surprise, we pay for the student care but they got right to reject. Times have changed.

You can check MOE website for schools at Bedok and Tampines. Go through the schools' academic, CCAs and other achievements, see which is best for your child. Kudos, we could share experiences once our children have entered P1. All the best.

Hi Chipyswim,


Yes, I am within 1km. Called the Sch & was told that out of the 38 registered (for 39 places) yesterday, 19 are citizens within 1km. So I will be monitoring the numbers this morning.

Do you have any gd or to be improved comments abt the Sch? I would like some realistic views. I am deciding betw BGPS & OEPS.

Hi happyvon,


BG and OPES are comparable. Both schools are just as good. Good luck to both of us.

Hi,


There is balloting done at Bedok Green for P2C(S) on 21 Aug (1 to 2 km). So anxious and stressful. It’s worse than taking exams. If really get it, I must jump for joy hip hip hurray. If not, need to queue and get MOE form so traumatising.

This whole process takes 1 month. Just imagine being SCs staying within 1 km radius (RS, FS, YN), can’t get in, I have to opt for further schools, oh my god…

OPES vs East Coast - the percentage rate of applicants registered differs so much, can’t imagine. Parents really don’t opt for unpopular schools. Why? No trust on teachers, or can’t trust their kids will do well in that school? Anyone care to share?

Hi Chipyswim,


I share the same sentiments. I thought I will have a better shot at a sch that is just downstairs with the new policy in place but never expect having to go thru all these.

Sorry to hear that you have to go thru balloting again. What are your chances? How many fighting for how many places? I really hope you can get a place for your child at BGPS and we can exchange contacts to talk abt the Sch/teachers/CCA/HW etc. All the best!! Good luck! Good luck! Good luck!!!

Hi Happyvon,

Thanks for your encouragement. It's 15 vying for 10 seats. Wow, really need to pray hard. Hope for best results then can treat my whole family for nice dinner on 21 Aug.

Prepared for the worst scenario; if really got balloted out, hopefully MOE could post my daughter to OEPS and not to some other alienated schools. Really scary!

Hope to get in touch with you soon.
