chiefkaisu,


Yah. For a few of us mothers on another forum, we were watching pretty closely for HIPs...heehee

No wonder... you all drive up HIPS' stock as a result of this intense interest => HIPS' applicants to vacancies ratio for Phase 2B is 139% vs 119% last year! There will be balloting... the question is for which distance group.

Then again, it's probably more due to the fact that the school \"lost\" 30 vacancies vs the last 2 years .

it's because the school lost 30 applications lah. Nothing to do with us...hahaha

Cos looking at the require need to ballot, it's probably the 2km and above. And there should be around 7 seats left and 22 people balloting. If HIPS kept the 30 seats (i.e. 15 ...divide by phase 2B and 2C), then actually there would not had been the need to ballot at all! =(

update for Holy Innocent as at 4.45 pm.


Within 1 km - 17
Within 2 km - 25
Outside 2 km - 22

Total : 64 application.

From what I hear about Holy Innocents High…the school is only so-so (on the average). My niece is now in that school and doesn’t feel much pressure there to do "fantastically" well. The Primary school is SAP.


Ultimately, I think alot depends on the child and also how they get along with their teachers. Each school have their set of good and "bad" teachers…different people will have different opinion…while there is some where although teachers can be good but students are not that studious…

As for flats, prices of flats in Hougang is starting to stabilized abit. Alot of sellers want a certain price for their flats now, and alot of buyers are expecting a lower price. (I know cos now I am looking for a place to buy in Hougang) Alot of prices are abit unrealistic (if you look at the past HDB transaction) and the request for HIGH cash top up. Just be more wary.

HIPs has always had the need to ballot of Phase 2C. If you intend to do PV and if you are staying within 1km…chances is that you are pretty "safe" to get a school position there. Alot of parents are not doing PV at HIPs because most living around the area are "lazy" (they are relying on the fact of Phase 2C within 1km and are lazy to even bother to try doing PVs) and some are mainly catholics (so they go direct to Phase 2B).

Do note that HIPs is doing higher chinese.

**My meaning of "lazy" is that they are the older fashion aunty or uncle or those who isn’t bothered about the school phase system. Hence unwillingness to do parents volunteering to secure a place. No offense hor =P

sorry to interrupt…I just got this info from another site.


Latest update for Holy Innocent:-

Within 1 km - 17 applicant

...my daughter is only 3 mths now. But I asking ahead of time...

:shock: For a moment I thought you qualify for our super-kiasu mummy award

Hope you get into Holy Innocents for your son this year... that way you can skip all the P1 registration hassle for your daughter!

Hahaha. Well, actually for my son, I even went to the school to see the VP in regards to Parents Volunteering when my son was 3 yrs old. Cos I didn't want to do things last minute...just wanted to find out the process of registering and what things are done. =P

If possible, might prefer to put my daughter in an IJ school.

thanks socks.


No lah…my daughter is only 3 mths now. But I asking ahead of time as I was reading up that there was no affliation…so I wonder why some people says there is. Cos I read thru the MOE stuff and even emailed them few yrs back before.

But I will be registering for my oldest son for Phase 2B under PV under Holy Innocents. It’s a tight race this yr. =(
