[Bukit Panjang] Primary Schools

[patntee]

Tika, from the school website it is Jul 22 5:30pm to 7:30pm. I saw West View open house is Jul 23 too, but I don't see any interest in the forum on this school.

[Tika]

That's odd. They never update their web ah. lol


My nephews are in Zhenghua and they told me not to come during principal's speech. very boring they said. :slapshead: typical boys.

what's your story patntee? future/current Pv parent or have you passed that stage.

[patntee]

Haha I’m sure they are right about the boring part. But on the other hand I would like to see how the Principal speaks and carries himself/herself.

I’m current PV at Beacon for my DD going P1 in 2013.

[Tika]

aah... if you don't mind me asking, why beacon and not bpps or the other schools? im still undecided which school, that's why i die die must go to all pri sch open hses in bp.


someone i know who works at one of the schools ard bp told me westspring is an underdog school. the principal very fierce. but i still want to check them out. hubby said their banners outside their school pretty impressive. alot of 'gold honors /gold/ silver' words. When i asked gold silver for what activity, hubby shrugged, said he only saw the gold silver words nothing else. :rotflmao:

[Tika]

and when is beacon’s open hse do you know??


i gotta leave soon. hope Zhenghua doesn’t impress me or else I’ll have a headache deciding on a sch.

Tika, I was referring to Beacon in my earlier post when I said that \"from the school website it is Jul 22 5:30pm to 7:30pm\". Maybe you misinterpreted for another school.

BPPS too difficult to get in because school around for long time, sure a lot of competition in P2A (parents or siblings from the school), and they have alot of PVs for P2B. I'm not within 1km so sure no chance for the school.
I give Beacon a try because of the IT concept, think my DD will learn better with interest. The curriculum is still the same as other local schools, not that they focus solely on IT. Who knows, I may eventually try Greenridge which is nearer, but will be P2C coz I am not a PV there.

[patntee]

By the end of P2C, West View is only half filled, can tell how unpopular it is in this area. I know some kids from there, didn’t have good PSLE results. That’s why I find it hard to have confidence in the school.

[Tika]

oops. i did mistake what you said for zps. :slapshead:


i think im the only ex student of bpps who isn't taken in by my pri school's popularity. and i'm wondering why they don't see the need to hold an open house. and most importantly, why are they very popular. i feel just because they are an old school doesn't necessary make them the right school to put our kids in. But that's just me lah ah. :boogie:

beacon's open house is only 2 hours? so short ah. hmmm will try to make it.

anyone know when is that all girl school at bt timah open house? chij isit?

Hi Tika

Did you eventually attend Zhenghua’s Open House? Was it any good?
