[Marine Parade] Primary Schools

Hi.
What do you think the chances are if I’m not PV. I stay within 1-2km of Ngee Ann and Tanjong Katong Pri and I have no other affiliation to the school?
I don’t really believe in "involuntary volunteering" to get my son in (no slight intended to the dedicated PVs out there!). I’d rather volunteer when he’s in the school so we can share the experience together. So I kinda skipped that step.
My son is a kinesthetic learner, much like me. Highly energetic, explorative and experiential-based. I myself was a Theatre student. I understand the need to get him accustomed to the Singapore Education "rat race", but I also want him to develop the love for learning, reading, questioning beliefs and ideas. I also want to build his confidence. All these, to me, are far more important than academic excellence, which is easily honed thereafter.
So from what I gather…
Tanjong Katong sounds like a fun place.
Ngee Ann seems to be the "People’s Choice".
Temasek Pri has some history and mixed reviews.
And I haven’t got a clue.
Help…??? -
