Personally not so much of a kiasu mum but yet concerned starting education at the right note for their long education journey. I have never felt so anxious before.

As my new place in bartley will only be ready start of y2026 while my son would enrol p1 in y2026, wondering if there is school bus service. I can’t seem to find any similar info available. Do you happen to know?

Any advise gurus. :)) appreciate all kind comments.

it's not just the logistical issue. Who will be looking after the kid in the morning? Not everyone has a helper or has a family member to babysit the kid. What about parents who are unable to wfh? What about their school work? Who's going to guide the kid? Can't expect the kid to finish their work when they are only back home at 6/7pm. The big question is why turn coed in the holding school and not after the school is ready?

Referring to (4), you are quite correct 😄 My child was a P6 graduating cohort from 2023. At least 30% of the cohort scored below AL10, and was offered a “scholarship” of some kind to remain in the secondary school, which I thought was a nice gesture. There were quite a handful of boys (including mine) who scored between AL5-8. These kids went on respectively to RI, Catholic High & SJI. They still love their MSHS experience and classmates, and are still in touch! 🥰

child is entering MSHS (primary) next year through phase 2C and got curious about the school's recent developments so I read the entire thread. yes all 362 pages. i have come to some conclusions:

1. seems like posts praising the school or criticizing the school comes around during the P1 registration period. it makes me wonder what are the motivating factors for the uncanny timing

2. there are posts about bullying and many times it seems these were borne out of frustration because parent felt that school did not do enough to prevent or remedy the situation. i came from a hokkien huay kuan school (in the east) and i was also bullied (called names and even one time had a metal water bottle thrown at me that resulted in a broken nose which I still suffer from till today). i really think bullying is in every school. parents have to teach their kids to protect themselves.

3. i am heartened to find that parents have been posting how stressed they have been about the children's academics but it seems very heavily skewed towards mandarin. this tells me that the school is doing alot in that area but i do wonder how is the math and science departments doing

4. there were a few rare posts that talked about PSLE results across the years. so for the sake of everyone i decided to compile the data and put it into perspective for you:-

Primary 1 intake: ~270
Secondary 1 intake: ~330
Primary 6 student who qualify for affiliation: ~50% of Primary school intake (~128 students)
Primary 6 student who chosse to go Secondary school section: ~30% of Secondary 1 intake (~77 students)
GEP per cohort: 10-15 students
Primary 6 student who do not qualify for affiliation: ~127 students

i infer that ~20% who qualify but did not choose to go Secondary school section majority are kids who scored above 240 range (i think it's about AL8-9) as this score will have more choices (academically speaking)

i wouldn't think there is a better choice out there for kids scoring 220-230+ (not saying they did very badly and had no choice but being able to enter MSHS at 220-230+ is really a steal as they really proven to value add alot)

5. i think if P6 parents will be so kind as to disclose their DSA results on this thread, it will be really useful as i think this is the only data point lacking in this thread

6. i do not know if MSHS (Primary) is a \"good\" school academically given i have no idea how other primary schools are doing statistically

Thanks Zac's mum.

Could be there is more demand for all girls primary school. Or parents are more willing to put their little boys in coed primary schools.

I recall having compiled & posted in ksp a list of all-boys primary schools & all-girls primary schools before, many years ago. Can’t find it though. I think more listed in girls category than boys.[/quote]

Ah, found the lists here in this thread:

https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=635

9 (soon to be 7) boys schools and 14 girls schools.

Canossa Convent Primary School (all girls) was converted to co-ed by welcoming boys in 2019:
