It’s just 4 months before Primary 1 registration 2016 begins in July and with it, the nail-biting stress of balloting.
Competition for popular schools is naturally intense, with 3 schools last year – Henry Park Primary, Ai Tong School and Nan Hua Primary – oversubscribed by Phase 2A2. CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School had no vacancies at an even earlier phase, 2A1.
If you’d rather avoid the drama, consider a neighbourhood school near your home. The Ministry of Education has upload videos for 13 neighbourhood schools to showcase what they offer.
