empresskelkel,


Congrats on getting a place at Nanchiau.

i oso quite like North Vista and its one of my 4 shortlisted schools. Reason for shortlisting Nan Chiau and Compassvale is obvious & i m wthn 1km and reason for shortlisting Anchor Green and North Vista is i got to see the campus and did not hear negative things about these 2 schools, compared to the remaining other 3 schools in SK(exclude Rivervale as need balloting & i m 1-2km).

Only on the 3rd day of phase 2C about 4pm i was like mental block dunno to choose North Vista or Anchor Green after deciding to change my strategy to not risk balloting Nan Chiau or Compassvale. I was at North Vista filled up form but the last decision was Anchor Green being 1km should be nearer than North Vista 1-2km and also cant bear to forgo Anchor Green principal so i registered Anchor Green instead.

After cooling down, i felt tt logistics wise North Vista is in fact better bcos i stay near Seng Kang MRT so to go NV is one MRT away but to go Anchor Green is by bus, LRT or walk which actually takes more time. And NV reporting at 8am is oso good.

Think its fated. Comments such as so-so is better than negative ones.

Actually, the parents I talked to actually have their kids studying there in P2 and P3. I believe that besides talking to principals and going for a school tour, it's important to talk to other parents to get an impression of the school. One (who is a preschool teacher) said the students were quite relaxed and parents have to take up a lot of the slack. JSC, if you still have misgivings, you can always put your kid name in the waiting list of other schools. Then you can obtain a transfer whenever there is a vacancy available.

JSC,


That's very ambitious of the Anchor Green principal to do that. I went for a tour couple months ago and I liked it. But I met with some parents of AG students, and they only said the school was so-so. And I met someone who lived just next to Anchor Green who actually put her kid in North Vista. :lol:

Really, if my kid didn't get into Nan Chiau, I'd rather put her in maybe Sengkang Primary or North Vista.
