hi Ljas1370,


Manage to get a place for my girl in Canossa Convent. Tks for all the helpful info.


Candymum.

tks isabellaswan87 for your feedback. I have already registered my girl in Canossa Convent coz I think I stand better chances. I’m sure other parents will benefit from your comment.

Hi Ljas1370,


I’m going to apply for Canossa Convent Primary. It’s nearer for me than Tanjong Katong, so most probably got better chances. It’s a nice school for girls. they are selected for PRIME upgrading two yrs later.

will worry next yr for my son. but will have experience by then.

leaving now. will let you know the outcome. tks for everything.

Hi Ljas1370,


tks very much for sharing yr experience. you are very kind.

tks baong and Ljas1370 for yr prompt replies and info. greatly appreciate it.


this is my first time registering for pri 1. didn’t know it is so stressful. I only wanted an average school with some arts and IT activities for my kids to enjoy.

tks for yr encouragement. baong, will call MOE to check. tks for yr suggesstion.

tks qms. I don’t know whether to take the risk or not. Tanjong Katong got 54 vacancies and Eunos Pri got 71. Both more than 2km for me. Tanjong Katong got ballot for 2c supp last yr, Eunos Pri don’t have.


I would think Eunos Pri better chances to get in.

But I just wonder why Eunos Pri not so popular.

Hi Ljas1370,



what happen if I cannot get in to eg. Tanjong Katong Pri. Can I then apply for Eunos Pri provided they still have vacancies. Or will govt allocate me any school.

can anyone comment on Eunos Primary School please.

Hi Candymum,

In Geylang area - Kong Hwa & Geylang Methodist Primary School are the most recommendable schools.

In Marine Parade - Tao Nan & Ngee Ann Primary School are the most recommendable schools.

Incase of child being balloted out of any of the above schools, I would recommend Tangjong Katong in Marine Parade. Eunos Primary will be better than MacPherson Primary School. You can look at their website to see their PSLE results for last year. Pls do not choose MacPherson Primary. My son was in MacPershon for P1 & P2. They have alot of foreign student especially those from China, Myammar and also other countries. Worst thing is that those from China, as they are not very good in English. You can see a China Student of 10 years old end up in P1 class. My son's case is a good example. These china students whol are quite big built end up bullying those P1 students of smaller size. My son was being bullied by a China Student of 10 years old in his 2 years in MacPherson. They steal his stationieries, bullied him. Everyday, he has to drag himself to go to school. Now I have transferred him to Geylang Methodist Primary, he is happier in Geylang Methodist.

tks so much for yr prompt reply. i also applied for geylang methodist pri but was unsuccessful. not much choice now. either cannossa convent for my girl, then try geylang methodist again next yr for my son, or put both of them in eunos pri.

can anyone comment on Eunos Primary School please.
