[Tampines] Primary Schools

[mum03]

Oopps I forgot about that, it should be:


Though we live less then 1Km away from St Hildas, it was never our choice for our DD, Thus we are planning for CHIJ katong more then 2 KM and the 2nd choice is St Antony’s Canossian 1-2 Km away.
Now it make sense HEHEeeeeeee

Hi Chief,


You mentioned Red Swastika as a pretty good school. It is betty than Zhongshan or Chongzheng?

Btw, anyone has comments about Tampines Primary School? I know this school has a lot of interesting initiatives but not so sure about how good the school is.

Red Swastika has a much better academic record than either Gongshang and Chongzheng. All 3 are very popular schools and require balloting under Phase 2C.

Tampines Primary is a small school and not as popular amongst Tampines residents. It did manage to produce a top 10 PSLE student in 2006, though. The question is whether that is a fluke or if the school has really got the processes to continue doing so.

Tampines Primary School is the seed school of Confucius Institute. I happened to attend their new book launch of 儒子学堂 on 25/7/09 by chance, while waiting for my daughter when she attended her class at Confucius Institute. Very impressed by the talk given by the principle. Holistic education, moral education guided by 儒家思想, and character development is the main focus of the school. Intend to do PV for the school to know the school better. Very likely TPS meets the criteria of my dream school

Have a call up to Gong Shang and Poi ching, the result is as follow,

- Gongshang - Phase 2 C confirmed Balloting for >1km 87 vs 64
- Poi Ching - current applicants is 97 vs 101 seats for Phase 2 C

Any advise? Shall I still join in the ballot for Gonshang? Or go for Poi ching? Must we be present during the balloting? If not how will we be informed whether we get won or lost? Thanks

If you stay within 1km from Poi Ching should be saved as what the teacher told us.

Hi Joyceling

I heard PV selection in St Hilda's is rather strict because they are too many applicants. I am not sure this is not the only school that conduct interviews for PV. I heard Gongshang does the same as well, just that this year due to H1N1, the meetings/interview has been cancelled.

You may want to call up the schools to find out more on the process to apply for PV.
