kendrick272, wondering if in the end umanaged to get an answer to your query in the earlier post?

Looking for JMC primary 2 cd+dvd.

have pri 1 set to let go.

pls contact me if anyoen keen on either

thanks!

haha is not my side that has a problem with SCGS. my IL taking care of my kids. they also find its inconvenient if the two kids schools so far away. They are quite elderly la, so I also empathise with them. They also feel SCGS too ang mo.. btw is it still true? last time my time is really quite ang mo lah haha my chinese CMI kind :oops:


for me, i see the benefits of having the kids in same school. aside from logistics, hoping they will grow closer also, take care of each other. something in common. also we'll be more familiar with the school system. of course means less stress about son's entry to pri 1 too... i think if i have 2 girls, hahah probably no nid to think so much liao

but mainly i'm quite unwilling to make my girl travel so far to go to a school. u guys think the school is worth the effort and inconveniences?

bagabunny>> quite interesting to see what choice u will choose eventually coz we're pretty much similar boat. btw your PV is with where?

Bluebottle:

At least you got accepted as PV for HW right? Most ppl don't even get selected these days!

Why yr relatives don't like SCGS? Uniform is quite nice heh.

ya problem is HWS doesnt restrict PV. so they take in everyone. thats why even <1km oso nid to ballot. other schools select PV so that after completion PVs almost sure get into schools. so each has its pros and cons ba.

SCGS> they don't like it seems elitist. we're from mediocre background, they don't want dd to feel outcasted, they also feel SCGS too \"angmo\" pai. vs HWS is more traditional chinese. uniform, well haha cooling lah, sg so hot

ur child 2015 p1? your PV start already?

ya i'm also thinking complete 40h then see next round numbers :celebrate:

bagabunny:

Dimension..
We in the same boat. I'm not keen to give up my alumni privilege.
I will complete pv as I've given my word to the sch. Then next yr then see how.
One step at a time.

thx for ur input!!


factors going against SCGS would be distance + separate school (inconvenience to my kids caretakers who are totally against the idea of her going SCGS ). i do agree that it does seem 'wasted' and like 'unfair' for my girl to pave my boy's path hor... furthermore IP lehh!! arghhh no nid stress for PSLE + Olvls!!

PV for my boy is non-issue haha i dont mind to contribute to the schools my time if can get my kids placement. unlike most ppl against PV i think its good chance to know the school better b4 committing my kids 6 or more yr of education there. of course then comes the problem of finding the time... :skeptical: but if he can go SAJS oso good. another IP then no nid headache over PSLE + Os... haha seem like ideal solution hor but then if cannot get in how?? :frustrated:

ya worse case scenario would be fail to get ballot for phase 2b and 2c despite 40h PV and giving up phase 2A chance of entering scgs...

ultimately for kids convenience i think 1st choice is still HWS la... now headache is coz phase2b <1km oso no guarantee... hai so sad

[quote=\"Bluebottle\"]Hmmm.... if you'd like yr son to go to Hong Wen, and he's in such a competitive year, then why not just register your daughter in Hong Wen?

Makes a lot of sense (logistically etc) to have both kids in the same school. Also not ideal to have to transfer a kid in pri school. Lots of adjustment with teachers and friends etc after she's barely gotten used to the school.

are you phase 2A for SCGS? Don't really understand your second half of query... so u mean if u go for SCGS for yr girl, you'll go for SAJS for your boy?

yes i want to register my DD in HWS but not cfm go in even if i PV and within 1km. do u think i should chance it for sake of my dragon boy? means if ballot dun get will go some unknown school dunno where

SCGS> yes phase 2A. if she go scgs i'm tinking either pull her out in p3 transfer to HWS (for boy) or i can PV again at HWS (near) or SAJS (further) for him

i guess my priority is distance + chance of getting in

Hmm... if I were you, I wouldn't 'sacrifice' my daughter's chance of getting into and staying in a gd sch like SCGS... it's quite tough for others who would like to get in so if you have 2A, should not waste it?

Then for yr son, when it comes to his year, then see what he can get into? PV if it helps?

Otherwise, if you try for HW for yr daughter, and not successful, kinda disadvantages her too.[/quote]

jedamum:

your girl if go SCGS...she will have affiliation benefits to go to SCGS......if your pull her out for ds, you will lose that affiliation for your girl...

understood but i'm told dragon years are really impossible?
we did try for rabbit baby but missed and kena dragon lolx
i'm worried even PV for SAJS/HWS also maybe cannot make it in

bagabunny:

ya that's the issue about distance and sch bus VS priority (confirm get in)
no lah, not gonna move house.
Hubby has a diff view. He said no harm taking sch bus, kid has to learn how to manage his sleep, homework etc. But I feel too early lah..heart pain.

Schs near my house, she be ok lah phase 2c..unless smth siao siao happens

hmm think nid to consider that when having CCA will be inconvenient coz school bus will not fetch then? u're not intending to try for phase 2B? seems 2C chances are quite tough for schools my side. not sure about yours tho. i'm also within 1km. even phase 2B oso must ballot :nailbite:
