Northland Primary

[TSL]

Hi 3greatkids,


Thanks for your advice.
Actually I had checked on MOE website that I can use the Sales & purchase agreement of The Canopy EC to register in Yishun.

Yes. I know that the chance of transferring to Northland after P1 study in Pasir ris primary is very low. That’s why I’m in dilemma whether to try my luck on Northland during Phase 2C.

But the problem now is sending/fetching issue.

Hi TSL, you can try putting her in student care near Northland or hire a nanny near Northland until Canopy is ready for moving in. But which means every morning its a mad rush from PR (home) -> Yishun -> PR (office)

Hi leo,


Thanks for the suggestion.
True that it’s very rush every morning…also not very good for my eldest girl…haiz…

I think I will most probably register her in PR primary school(Elias Park Primary is just downstair my HDB block, now I’m a bit regret of getting Canopy EC…)…then after Canopy TOP, do the school transfer(I guess it’s super low chance getting into Northland as I do not think there will be any pupil withdraw during P1~P2 lor)…
then if this is the case, I will transfer her to Northview Primary…just behind Canopy EC…

Hi TSL,


Actually, personally I feel that Northview is a good school as well... I initially thought of registering my daughter there but Northland is just nextblock away so i reg Northland instead. You can visit their website and you can see the school focuses alot on Character development, which I think is really good and they appeared on newspaper for innovative teaching(or something like that) as well. Just my two cents worth

Good luck in whatever you decide!

Hi 3greatkids,


Thank you so much~
It’s really good to hear that Northview is also a good school too…

[quote=\"Happy2011\"]Hi, where can I find Chong Fu last years PSLE Result? I wonder why Northland

is more popular than Chong Fu this year?

I heard my mom say that it's because if you want your child to get into Chongfu, you have to donate something like a computer or sth.

If you want to enter Northland, there are no conditions.

Ichigokun, there is no such thing. My nephew is in Chongfu. His parents did not donate anything to Chongfu.[/quote]Sorry. My bad xD

Have your kids started to learn chess?

There's this Russian chessmaster that went to Northland to teach lessons.

Even the canteen tables in Northland has chess boards imprinted on them...

Are all the kids given the chance to learn chess or only some?

[3greatkids]

Yes, all kids are given the option to learn during the 2/3-day camps organized every school holiday. Through that camp, they would then shortlist children who are interested and have potential and invite them to join the chess club even before they reach P3. It’s up to the parents whether they want to enrol the children in the camp though…
