comfy1:

thanks all. Actually I'm thinking of whether to transfer my son to a

\"not so popular\" school to a \"popular\" school.
I'm in a dilemma as I'm worry that he will not get used to the environment.

:?:
i think you meant from a 'not so popular' school to a 'popular' school ba?
i guess you know your kids better...their socialising ability, their ability to adapt, their academic potential.
maybe you can sound them out?

Hi Comfy1 ,


My experience ......
When i asked my Ds1 . would u like to transfer to Nan hua Pri ? he said , Can i hv to try for 1yr First See How ?? i say Ok Heee....... :lol: :lol: Now he said i like Nan Hua Pri , Bcoz i want to join Bowling or Golf , School provides lots of opportunities and Fun activity for the children .

Actually, if childrens have easy made friends in school that he will get used to the environment soon . Don't worry !! :lol: :lol
Considering his is a transfer student , his is coping very well. i believer given a good environment to study, they will be motivated .

Can u share ,Which school r u looking for ?? :roll:

I transferred my gal in P3 from a neighbourhood sch to a SAP sch.


She felt very bore in her previous sch and I could see that her interest in learning was dropping. I asked her if she would like to transfer to a sch with a more challenging environment, she agreed. We (my hb, my gal & me) sat down and went thru the sch’s profile one by one, after discussion, we finally decided on her current sch.

So far, she is very happy with this sch. I can see that she is more ‘alive’ now compared to last year.

Entry/transfer to Primary schools after P1 depends more on the child's ability to convince the school to give him/her entry than distance from the school. You will need to somehow demonstrate that your child is and will be a good student.

You can opt to be on the waiting list for some schools. However, if I remember correctly, the same criteria (as in primary 1 registration) still applies. So those with siblings in the same school will get a high priority over the rest. And distance from school still applies for those in waiting list.

What about those whom had already been confirmed a place in P1 (next year) and would like to transfer before orientation or year 2009 begins?
