Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

[TiaraUrchin]

Hi parents out there,


I just joined as member. I have twin girls who are in K1 now. We are in hougang and last december submitted my application for parent volunteering in Hougang Primary. Apart from that school, would be thankful if anybody can share what other schools are good in Hougang and what our chances will be to secure a place there.
My girls were born in 2007, that means they will start P1 in 2014. Is it like the school will inform parents about P1 registration during the term of K2? Pls share. Thanks

preschools will issue notification of P1 registration and the dates when the kid is in K2.

Hi,

I’m considering these three schools for my girl in 2013…

-Qifa Primary (1.5km)
- Clementi Primary (4km)
-Fuhua Primary (3.5 km) under Phase 2A(2)

Which one is better? Although they are not really ‘fantastic’ schools, but I still want to choose a better one.

Thanks.

Hi,

I’m considering these schools for my girl (2007) :

- AiTong (<1km, not-so-direct route)
- AMK (<1km, direct route-can walk there)
- Mayflower (1-2km, can get in under P2A(2))

Can anyone advise which is better? Anyone with direct experiences with these schools can give any comments?

Is studying in AT very stressful?

Thanks.

Any ideas about these schools that one map has shown to be within 2km of me?


Henry Park
Nan Hua
Pei Tong
Clementi
Fairfield

Henry Park is the closest but I guess by far the most popular. A friend said Nan Hua is a chinese focus school is it very popular for PRC PR’s? No idea about the other schools.

thanks.

It will depends on the number of vacancy and the number of SC living within 1km applying during that phrase.
