Hey 2galsmum - You also going there? Wow...Sure. Will look out for you...

ChiefKiasu - Thanks...Well, a big stone for me....Ha Ha Ha....Although I never wanted my son to go in CF very badly but when you are there for the ballot....Your heart beats fast and you just wanted to hear the name of ur kid....Anyway, it was terrible going through a ballot....Somemore there were 3 sets of twins n they all got in....So lucky...

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.

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.

Hi Yippy,


Sure! Hopefully our kids could be in the same class too. Btw, how your child be going to school next year? by bus or… ? I’ve checked with the teacher there, seem like there isn’t any CCA open for pri 1 except rhythmic gym. I would want to request for them to open up Indian dance or chinese dance classes for my child.
