Thanks! Just sharing my views in term of the school facilities, in this line lah...very particular. :lol:

Me also went to AIPS today after registering at Chong Fu. I also share the same views with jaseric....Hee Hee....I also told my hubby few weeks ago that I will not consider AIPS. But after visiting today, the feeling is pretty good.


If cannot get into CF, then I will bring my boy to see if he likes AIPS.

Hi,


I've registered my girl for Chongfu yesterday and gotten to know that require balloting today. I already expected it. Now I depend on my luck to gain a seat. If cannot get a place in Chongfu, my headache will come....

My 2nd preference is Anderson but seat almost taken up...furthermore, <2Km from my place.

If there's no other good choice, perhaps will consider Ahmad Ibrahim. The winning point from this school is > it's single session and have Character Development award.

Any other good school to recommend?

I don't understand. If you stay <2km> 1km from chong fu. That means you have no chance to ballot at all. Because if not <1km, the teachers in CF will ask u not to register leh...

[snggy]

i mean that it seems impossible to be <2km from anderson and yet <1km from CF leh…

hello…


today i went to Jiemin and the staff told me that those less than 1km has already exceed the vancancy!!! therefore Balloting is required for those less than 1km… Again!!!

ohya, jiemin pri building really looks old ya, haiz

can some1 advise what is the next school after Jiemin ? All the rest are 1-2km from my house.

Wow... kinda expected though. Sad for all those parents beyond 1km hoping to get into Jiemin.

BTW... if school buildings look old, they could be in line for upgrading works which means the school may have to move to another temporary location in the future. This may cause inconvenience subsequently. Better check with the school if they have such plans on their charts.

As for other schools... seems like other parents are now zeroing in on Ahmad Ibrahim.

Hua Min might be another possible choice? I’ve been there 2 times and I really like the peaceful and quietness at that estate. It is pretty airy there and less traffic so it is pretty safe for our kids.


They are also single session so that will be a plus point also…

Hi Snggy,


so for chongfu u are waiting to ballot for those less than 1km?

any other schools except Ahmad Ibrahim and Huamin are single session?

i went to all the schools website to see but really duno what to look for IF balloting in Jiemin fail.

[snggy]

ya loh. need to ballot loh.


me also same as you. not sure what to choose if cannot get in. so i decided to choose a single session school. i like morning session but cf dun hv wor…

single session sch that i know so far - huamin, ahmad ibrahim, peiying and northview.

so i will likely choose from them for my 2C supp. loh.

hope this helps!

That's a good strategy - sometimes it is not about how branded the school is, but about how well your child can perform in the environment. Single session schools may allow more extensive and enriched coverage of each level's syllabus due to the extended hours. Children may also foster closer bonds to the school.
