Cartier, thanks of your valuable advise, I agreed too, that is why I prefer YangZheng.



Mermaid, My ex-collegues stays in Serangoon Ave 2 told me that Zhong Hua is a very very good school. She asked me should put Zhong Hua as first choice for my girl, but for my opinion is , firstly Zhong Hua is very far from my house, and secondly, I afraid my girl cannot catch & follw up in a OK school. I heard my neighbour said, YangZheng is very easy to enrol in as not much parents will take it as first choice, may be to the parents' mind Zhang Zheng is 邻里学校. Last Year's enrolment still got 100+ vacancy after phase 2A2.

Hi there, My girl to born in 2003 and am seriously considering OLGC because of the character formation. Feel its better than to push them academically

Hi, mermaid, sorry, wat is PV? my gal oso born in 2003, I will register her in CHIJ OLN on 13 Jul 2009 (under phase 2A2), although I am not prefer CHIJ OLN as CHIJ schools more emphasis in moral, the academic teaching is a little bit slow compare with others school and I realize that CHIJ schools - their language subject is quite strong & good but Maths & Science is a bit weak if compare to Yangzheng or Paya Lebar Methodist Pri School.

Hi Mama Ping, I agree with you that CHIJ schools focus on moral devpt which is so necessary in the current society. Hence choosing CHIJ OLGC over PLMS for my girl born in 2003. have u any idea abt CEDAR

I stay in Serangoon Central, I am doubt to registered my gal to CHIJ OLN or Yangzheng Primary School. for me more preferred YangZheng, but my husband always quarred over this because he strongly preferred girls school. I am really very doubt as the date of registration is coming soon, I can't decide as I dun have any friend's kids study in this two school before, any friends can help to give some advise please.

Thank you very much and deeply appreciated.

Hi Mama Ping

Wrote to you earlier too. I stay in Serangoon Central too. Why did you not consider CHIJ (OLGC) and go to CHIJ OLN. Is OLN better than OLGC in Serangoon Garden. I feel CHIJ is better than Yangzheng

[mama Ping]

Hi, Majela,


CHIJ OLN actually quite far from my house (I stay in Serangoon Central), I choose CHIJ OLN instead of CHIJ OLGC because my girl can register under phase 2A2 (13/7 & 14/7) in CHIJ OLN as she got step-sister has studied there.

Dear parents, any feedback on rosyth school ? I was thinking of choosing between rosyth school and CHIJ OLN. I was told CHIJ is more focus on character development while rosyth is more on academic. I’m afraid my DD must not be able to cope as she’s rather a slow learner.


We had already register for rosyht under phases 2a2 yesterday. We are thinking of put her on waiting list for both CHIJ OLN & CHIJ Katong. Should we pull her out of rosyth if DD is selected for either CHIJ?

Hi Cher2101!

Err...You have already registered for Rosyht under Phase 2A2. So, you cannot waitlist your daughter under any other school. You need to withdraw from the first school you registered before you are allowed to submit your daughter's school for the second school.
