Hi parents, my girl will be starting P1 in 2024, wondering if there are any existing WhatsApp groups for parents with daughters in the same year?

Otherwise I have created one here - https://chat.whatsapp.com/LYQbWCZaKsC6Z8LOXPqecg

Please feel free to join or share with other parents. Look forward to meeting some people! :rahrah:

Your questions are very valid. I have friends who are alumni of XXX primary school and want to try 2A but staying beyond 2/3/4km. They have no car and are keen for school bus but at the same time worried that the child needs to wake up super early 5 school days a week for the next 6 years of the life. Self procastinating. :scratchhead:
Yes.

If u stay far away from those popular primary school, eg. GEP school & have to wake up very early morning everyday (Mon - Fri) at 5+ just to board (catch) the school bus, and yet not mentally prepared to do so, might as well give up your Phase 2A (old student) slot.

Example

My friend stayed in Pasir Ris.

She gave up her Phase 2A old-girl slot for RGPS (Raffles Girls primary school), a very popular GEP school. Because
she wants her Primary 1 daughter to have sufficient sleep, and not wake up 5.15 am, just to catch school bus to RGPS, at 5.40 am.

In the end, she just enrolled her daughter into a neighbourhood school nearer, much closer in the east. That is, CHIJ Katong primary, and gave up RGPS.

Anyway, at the end of P6, if you are good, if u are hardworking, u will still be able to make it to one of those better Secondary schools, be it via DSA or via PSLE results.

If she is indeed Rosyth Alumni, the first important thing she need to confirm is : got any school bus from her house (near HGS), go to Rosyth @ Serangoon North ?

If suppose no school bus, next question is : how to go Rosyth then, everyday ? Does she drive, her spouse drive, then what about the return trip back home from school, who fetch ? If cannot resolve transport issue, then only way out is, choose Haig Girls. As long as her daughter is SC, is safe for HGS

My dd went through ballot as PR outside 2 km few years ago. Teachers are motivating and stress level is not high like other more academic schools. A balanced focus on arts and fun learning where kids are taught values leadership and independence. Girls school can focus on topics such as maths thru Arts and provide enrichment such as ballet and in fact comparatively more focus on sports such as soccer netball etc without any gender bias or comparison which could creep up in coed.

I wanted your kind advice 1) do you think any chance this year 2) how are the teachers and how is the stress level? 3) Is there a school bus to siglap (and if yes what time pick up). 4) if you were in doubt about a girl or non girl school and you decided yes are you happy with the decision and why? I wanted OPERA Estate but with the cap in PRs I am considering Haig Girls (I have three daughters so should be good).

thanks a lot
Daphne

Thank you all for your response! Yes Davis is correct - we live near HGS and are not sure if we should put our kid (and ourselves) through the trouble of commuting to Rosyth. We have visited both schools and have also spoken to some parents whose children are in each of the schools, but are still not sure of the decision to make - thus hoping to gather some insight from parents whose children have been to both Rosyth and HGS here!

Really? If Rosyth alumni, should not be too difficult to get an invite to the next sports day or whatever cultural event. Bring your girl there to take a look at the culture.

Similarly for Haig Girls, I think they will have a public Open House or some other event (for public). Just go and take a look and ask more questions there.

No guarantees. Haig Girls' can be a 'weird' one. I guess a lot depends on the number of PR registering in Phase 2C.

Hello all. We are considering options for our 5 year-old and are wondering if any parents here have transferred their child from Haig Girls to Rosyth, or vice versa. If you have done so, please could you share why, and how would you compare the culture and environment of both schools? Thank you all in advance.
Transfer from Haig Girls to Rosyth is hard, because Rosyth is GEP school, and they are quite selective with students, who are trying to seek Transfer. P3 students usually get transferred into Rosyth, via clearing end of p3 Gep test.

For students trying to transfer into Rosyth (Mainstream), at end of P3 and P4 : very difficult. Have a few friends, they put their sons on Wait-list for such a long time at Rosyth, for a few years since P1, not just 2 years, in the end when they reached end of P4, still no news, no hope.


Try not to transfer.
Decide out front, which school u want ? You want Haig Girls, or want Rosyth ?
Why create headache for yourself, transferring here and there for ?

Hi, my girl just got in for P1 in 2019 thru balloting in Phase 2C. We stay in Simei. We find that the expected pick-up time for school bus between 6-620am is too early. Looking for carpooling to school in the morning (and back as well, if possible) from parents who are staying in Simei/Tampines area and fetching their kids to school. Please drop me a message to discuss further.

Hi alumnisg,

We are staying in Simei too. Our daughter is also joining Haig Girls in 2019. Coincidentally, was thinking the same thing. Please do let us know if you do find someone who can carpool our kids. Thank you for your post.
