Remember you are choosing NYPS, PC…

If you are GRL, why not choose NYPS so that you have 3 chance — 2a2, 2b, 2c…

[quote=\"levinakit\"]Dear All,


Is it possible to register different addresses for Phase 2B and Phase 2C.

Using this example, we would like to apply for Nanyang Primary under Phase 2B using the rented condo address which is <1km but unfortunately we did not get in during the balloting process.

Then we change address back to our HDB address to register for Phase 2C for the nearby neighbourhood school.

Technically can be done but legally it should not be done because in the eyes of the law you are committing fraud. If MOE initiates investigation you might get into trouble.

Nevertheless you could still give it a try at your own risk. Do update us on the outcome!

[/quote]Meaning by law, it is forbidden to change address between phases?
Thanks

Cedar Pri is a good sch? Genuinely asking, no offense and don’t mean to sound rude at all.

Yeah I went for their open house a few years back & was quite impressed. It is next to Cedar Girls Secondary which is a very reputable school.

[/quote]If my memory works well, I happened click the MOE website, there is a section to provide comments to school , Teachers etc, from the TOP, there are a Lot of positive comment about Teachers (with names) in this school, and I was at that time wondering whether the school starts with “c” so that is why the comments to this school is on the TOP?
I didn’t scroll down to check but that is what I saw from MOE website

Anyone has the latest breakdown and update for Henry park?

35 applicants for 23 places.
1 applicant < 1km
1 applicant 1-2km
33 applicants > 2km

Seriously... would anyone out of 1km apply

You mean majority are out of 2km for HPPS??? :whut:

Called sji junior and they said 30 registered within 1km as of now. They got 51 vacancies. I was paiseh to ask for the breakdown of others. Maybe later this evening then ask. The lady was strict

Parents from ACS could easily fill the 20 vacancies if they are risk adverse. maybe this year all 3 schools fill up just nice. No balloting within 1km... This would be unprecedented.

I know my friend hasn’t registered yet, acsp 1km

tinywings:

omg! A lot of schools are over subscribed just day 2 only.

Can complain to MOE or not ? :roll:

Hi rainbowdeng,


This is interesting to know. Prior to this, I had the impression (after viewing various primary schools' websites) that most schools will only send their pupils for Math/Science Olympiads when the kids are in upper primary, usually P5 and P6 only. So it's truly surprising to read about a school actually sending their pupil/s in P2. :offtopic:

Hi overclk2000, sorry to highjac your post like this. Although I can't help with your decision coz I'm not too familiar with the Sengkang/Punggol area, but here's lots of luck and wisdom to u for 2C. I'll be going thru' the same gruelling phase too :xedfingers:[/quote]

It could be another name of the test.
I happened to know the parent of the top1 — her boy is in Maris Stella — true lover of math and not surprise at all to see his result.
And happened to know the parent of the top10 girl...

Hi, fellow parents, may I seek advice on which school to register for 2C (Singapore Citizen) for my child. I'd registered him under Phase 2A1 with a school in Hougang buts its 45min bus ride away. So am looking for a school which is nearer.


Within 1km
1) PUNGGOL GREEN PRIMARY SCHOOL (high chance of balloting for <1km based on Lexy's latest info https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=91621)
2) PUNGGOL VIEW PRIMARY SCHOOL
3) PUNGGOL COVE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Within 2km
3) EDGEFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL
4) GREENDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL
5) OASIS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Within 2km (with high chance of balloting for <1km)
6) COMPASSVALE PRIMARY SCHOOL
7) RIVERVALE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Hope the gurus here can help with advice on these options:
\t1. Should I even try for COMPASSVALE and RIVERVALE with is Within 2km? are there any new schools built around the area that will cause the no of registrations to decrease?)
\t2. Should I even try registering with EDGEFIELD, GREENDALE, OASIS? or
\t3. Just focus on those within 1km?

Would you advice that I monitor the situation and 1. withdraw from the Phase 2A1 school and then register my child on the last day i.e 2 Aug itself?

I know i'm asking a lot here hope fellow parents here can help.

This is not an advice but just sharing of what I know of Compassvale
One girl of my friend who studied here in p1-p3 eventually got GEP and transferred to Rosyth
One girl of my another friend who studied here in p2 was a TOP 10 winner in the raffles math Olympic test (if I am not wrong about the test)
Not too sure whether it is because of the school..

I am a strong believer in data.
However I spent months by staring at those birth data (with order with ethics etc) but I couldn’t figure out the correlation..

The big confusion is: how to predict how many vacancy left for 2b/2c...
By looking at past data, phase 1 will account from 45% to 55% etc for one particular school and in the end the vacancy left for 2b/2c is quite different...
This makes quite difference in the TUR as the vacancy left is the denominator....
