alyplwwf, so sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear that, but not to worry... GES still has quite a number of places, and so does Queenstown Pri.
Hear from my colleague that GES is also a good school. Her 2 kids were all studing there. My colleague's elder boy's PSLE result is quite good, So she insisted her girl going the same school as her elder brother through she had more chioce. -

Hi, niecoco, I'm only familiar with the school near my house. Sorry I did not have the information about Queenstown.
Have you heard anything about Queenstown?
Actually, before conducting this P1 registration, I though GES is better than Zhangde, as I heard from my friends that GES is a good combined school.
Maybe you can post a new subject asking for the informaiton of Queenstown. -
GES has a long history and is reputable, while ZhangDe has new building, which means better and newer facilities.

i m so confused and still sad so my mind is blank
I think I will enrol her to Queenstown primary and send her for more enrichment classes... what else can i do? -
Going for one that is nearest to your house is good idea, you save a lot and spare the child from traveling. Remember its 5 days every weeks for the next 6 years.

Yes, it's true. You can save more time to spend it on child's tuition.
Hi, Niecoco, don't be so sad. Acually, for the first 2 years, school is not important for the child's acadamy record. For my opinion, parents should spend more time on child's development, which is much better than outside enrichment course. If you can develop your child better in these 2 years, you will have many chances to shift your girl to a better school in a later stages. -

i think most importantly is to monitor my girls' progress and constantly giving her support. I hope she will be given a chance to change but I cant put too much hope on that.
hopefully she will outperform and choose her school in sec. -
Hi ctct61t
Congrats to you and your kid. RM is very a very popular school in your area. Of course, the other is CHIJ Kellock. About GES, do you know how the school perform in their PSLE as a whole. Is the performance of your colleague’s boy in GES an exception rather than norm. I stay very near to GES and its our last choice or final back up plan.
Hi niecoco
Sorry to hear that. Wish you all the best in your next choice of school.
Hi alyplwwf
Its though out there with ratios of 3:1 and you have done your best. Would you care to share which schoold would you be moving onto.
Cheers to all

Hi Niecco,
I would recommend New Town Pri instead of Queenstown Pri. Seem like New Town had been established in 1965 & I remembered that I can't even get in when I was at 6 years old. (In the year 1978).
In the end go Tanglin Primary.Now the school no more liao.
New Town would have a new building in 2009 with combination with Ghim Moh Primary.
Wish you all the best. Just my 2 cents worth.
