Snappy,

Are you within 1 km? If yes, chances of getting into Beacon should be fairly high. It might be a good idea to call the school directly to ask for a breakdown.

I'm actually within 2km... was actually thinking of going for CHIJ OLQP(more than 2km), but the number of applicants for Beacon is really tempting me.... :shock:

Gosh… I’m really bowled over… should I choose Beacon???

It is useful, but not really accurate....


I entered my address Blk 531 Jelapang Road, and CHIJ OLQP was within 2km. But when I checked with the school, they say my house is more than 2km. And they asked me to use SLA's map to be more accurate: http://www.inlis.gov.sg/Layout/HomePage.aspx. I paid $2.10 to check, and indeed, my house is more than 2km....

Hi parents,
chance upon this forum while searching for info on schools, am so glad to find it!
My child is slated for to Primary one enrolment this year, but I'm still in a dilemma a to which school I should send her to....

My 1st choice is CHIJ Our Lady Quenn Of Peace, but as our home is just outside the 2km radius, think chances will be quite slim. When I try to search for info on their past PSLE results, seems that none can be found. IMHO if a school has good results, normally it'll share the good news with everyone....

2nd choice is Greenridge Primary School. This school was not on my list initially, but changed my mind after seeing so many top students in their past PSLE results. And it is less than 1km to our home. But judging from the number of students registered so far, seems not a popular choice among parents.

3rd choice is Beacon Primary School, the 1st Future Primary School. They focus on IT and creativity learning, which may give my child an edge against others if it proves successful. I'm quite sold by their vision and is thinking of putting this school as my 1st choice. However, a recent open house visit to the school was quite disppointing... I'd say the school is still quite empty. Apart from the classrooms using tablet pcs and projector boards, most infrastructures are still not ready.

4th choice is Bukit Panjang Primary School. It came to the picture as realised that this school is a popular choice among parents... seeing the number of students registered. And yes, they have top students on their past PSLE results. And our home is within 2km radius.

I can't really decide at the moment... If I go for CHIJ enrolment and my child is not selected, does it mean that my child has to wait for the next phase? Beacon Primary School seems to bea good choice, but what do you guys think?
