hi frens..

went to the ballot today for chong fu....damn stressful sitting there...well, we managed to be the lucky ones to get in....Phew....Was like a stone off my chest...

Yippy - Did you get in your choice?

snggy... congrats! Was it a big or small stone? BTW, having friends who are parents of children in the same school (or even better, same class) is one of the key requirements of successful KiasuParents. You will know what I mean when your child comes home with a marked test paper of an exam you never knew existed :? .

Hi Yippy,


Like what i previously mentioned, Yishun pri is merging with Pei Xin pri, ultimately, the Yishun's name is confirmed to be continued. The new school premises at current Pei Xin pri is undergoing construction, looking at the progress, may not able to be used by year end. Can't comment the after effect after the upgrading but I personally don't like the school premises. 2 pointers which I noticed after the merged, the school policy, CCAs and niches may need some time to re-establish. Teachers of the 2 schools will be reshuffled and some may be transferred out, this may caused some uncertainty among the teaching staff. Hopefully they could resolve these teething issue this 3-4 months if not the students will be affected. :roll:

Heard from my child's K2 teacher who stayed near Hua min that the teachers there are very committed. Both Naval Base and Hua min are not academic driven, this can be a plus point for the growth of a happy kid.

Heard from a mother of 4 that Pei Ying that she is not happy with the school, roughly heard that the teachers actually let the children to exchange books and marked on each other books. :?
Though I stayed within 1km from Jiemin, I decided to not wasting my time to ballot in phase 2c. Furthermore, also don't like the journey and the upkeep of the premises there.

Chosen Ahmad Ibrahim pri in the end as the environment is conducive, reputated with good teachers and near my house. Want to join me?

Hi Yippy,


Yes, already enrolled my girl to AIPS. The school had also sent me a mailer to confirm the registration and inform that the orientation for pri one will be on 15 Nov 2008.

Don't be too overly stress up, all this will be over soon.

[snggy]

Try AIPS. That would be my second choice if I did not got drawn during the ballot last week.


And they have many vacancies too. I think it is a pretty good school also. Neat and clean.

hopefully no more balloting... the 3rd and last time reg for p1....
