Many Thanks for your link. This gives a clear idea on it.
BPPS
jvaishnav,
do read the balloting distance requirements together with the number of intake for that year. it is highly likely that last 2 yr’s balloting within 1km requirement is due to the reduction in intake as the school gradually converts to single session – seems to me that balloting within 1km is here to stay for the next few yrs unless they increase intake.
it is still not too late to try to apply for PV since your kid is only in K1 this year.

Bukit Panjang Pri School
Hi,
I intend to register my girl in BPPS under Phase 2C. But not sure will that school be too stress for my girl, as my girl standard is only consider average..
If my girl is been successful selected, will she be asked to transfer if she is not doing well?
Would anyone know what is the standard of the school?
Any advise?
How is Bukit Panjang Primary for Special Needs Kids?
I am considering Bukit Panjang and I understand that they have 2 SNOs (Special Needs Officers) for Dylexsia and Autism. I wonder how’s the environment there?
Balloting in Phase 2A
While there is that possibility of balloting, your ability to get into your ex-school (even the super popular ones) is close to 100%. I won’t worry so much if I’m going for my ex-school.
Phase 2A2 needs balloting ???
Hi,
I am a former student of BPPS but not an alumni member, so i am in Phase 2A2. Does this phase requires balloting also? Chances of winning the ballot?
Bukit Panjang Pri Sch or CHIJ Lady Queen of Peace (Bukit Timah)

I am just shifted from india.my daughter is 2003 year born.She will be in pri one next year.To secure the admission can i do the PV.i stay in Hillview hights.Which school will be good for me ?
Mother to 2 unique
Bukit Panjang Pri is the more established one but this year’s competition is very great for those residing within 1-2km for Phase 2C.
Beacon although is new, boasts of using IT for teaching. However, one has to note that the effectiveness of such teaching is also dependent on whether the teachers are able to handle such ‘new-age’ teaching style.
Once when considering to shift to Bukit Panjang, I would have opted for Greenridge over Beacon if BPPS is unsuccessful as I am more comfortable with the tried-and-tested method of teaching and studying.

bukit panjang vs Greenridge Primary
Hi Parents,
Need advise. I need to register my son into P1 soon in Phase 2C. Any comment on Bukit panjang, Beacon, or greenridge primary.
Bukit Panjang vs Beacon
Beacon is a brand new school with hardly 2 years of history. Bukit Panjang has been around for years, and has a very good academic record. However, Bukit Panjang’s take up rate after Phase 2A in 2008 is really high… so there could be even balloting under 1km in Phase 2C.
What you can do is to try for Bukit Panjang first. You can always fall back to Beacon subsequently.
Beacon Primary or Bukit Panjang School
Need to register my boy into Primary 1 soon. Need advise which better school for him to attend, Beacon Primary School or Bukit Panjang Primary School. I live within 1 kim from both of these schools.
Bukit Panjang or Pei Hwa?
The quick answer to your question is to try for the school <2km to you. <1km is even better. Bukit Panjang is likely going to have balloting for 1-2km in Phase 2C, but if you PV there, you are almost guaranteed a place in Phase 2B. Pei Hwa does occasionally require balloting for Phase 2B if you stay >2km. If I’m you, I would choose Bukit Panjang with its better odds.
Pei Hwa or Bukit Panjang Primary School
I stay in Bukit Panjang which is 1-2km away from Bukit Panjang Primary School and more than 2 km from Pei Hwa. In your opinion, may I know which is a better school for me to do parent volunteer?
