[Pasir Ris] Primary Schools

[ChiefKiasu]

Heheh… you remember all those long lines for Macdonalds’ Hello Kitty series of dolls? Singaporeans can’t resist queues because they think they represent good deals which they cannot miss out on. If got queue surely must be good wan!


Same thing for Primary schools. Except this is your child’s life you are talking about. Better not play play. So we parents think that good schools are necessary for the well being of our children lor. But sometimes we forget that children mature at different ages, and if they are always languishing at the back of the classes of the better classes, that might make them think that they are lousy even if they would have topped the less capable classes with their results. That eats into their self-confidence and their pessimism becomes self-fulfilling.

So think carefully before committing your child to one of these top schools. You must be prepared to put in your own time and effort to support your child and encourage him/her even if he/she doesn’t do well in class - instead of scolding them and asking them why they are so stupid compared to other kids. It takes a big heart to handle such stress.

that's why its so hard! its not a bull game we are after, its our child life. i don't want him to be stressed and especially myself to be stressed. its easy to say, ya! I can put lots of time into this but in the end, there will be tears and yelling and etc etc :?


but would good school = better behaved children? its the characther that is equally important too.

I am also looking for Primary school for my kid, but more on neighborhood school since I live near some of them. I am fine with non branded school as long as it is decent enough

Hi karentyp


Pasir Ris Primary in Phase 2C for the past 2 years require balloting within 1 km, hence if you stay of out 2 km from the school, you will not get a chance to even ballot.

When you mention sending your gal in 2010 meaning you will be registering in 2009 right? Then you’ll be too late to offer PV for Pasir Ris Primary.

Only 4 places left out of 106. Take up rate increased 15% today. It's very difficult for Pasir Ris to escape a ballot situation by the end of tomorrow. The question is whether it is for less than 1km or 1-2km.
