hi blitze


u can check on the open house somewhere from june to july, cos aug will start to P1 reg for phase 2 onwards (if i remember). my colleague's girls are in Changkat (Simei). Seems not a bad sch. but like you, i stay in punggol. but i chose Horizon due to below reasons (my girl in P2 now):

1) i did not do any PV (parent volunteer) even i stay opp of Meetoh. I don want to stress myself for the ballating.
2) Horizon has student care center (SCC) inside the school. this is more safer than to choose SCC from outside.
3) i prefer new sch, new premises. teachers are more focus on the limited students they have. this yr Horizon has more than 1k students.
4) Principal is from Eunos Pri Sch.

but it is really up to you to decide. there is another topic on Horizon Pri in this forum. maybe u like to search more before u decide.

New sch is not a bad idea. U may want to find out more if Punggol View is going to start SCC next yr since this yr is their 1st yr in operation. Horizon started off with no SCC too.

i guess your only concern is after sch dismissal, like me. I choose Horizon becos when i reg my girl for P1 in 2011, this sch is nearer (don't really like Edgefield & they are pretty far from my home). Greendale started last year but they only announced late Nov in 2011 when P1 reg is over. And my SIL stressed to me, Greendale is not that good. I think Meetoh also started SCC this yr cos i saw the SCC tee-shirt ytd.

Thank you mummyofthree for your reply! :snuggles:

Just to share, my current arrangement is, I sent my daughter to a kindergarten in Simei in the morning. Then my parents will fetch her along her cousin who is in the same class as her. In fact she has been growing up with her 3 other cousins. (Luckily my parents' pl is huge compare to mine). Then evening, I will fetch her back to Punggol.

so if she goes to Changkat, the routine will be same. Except it is much earlier. There are days where I struggled to sent her to school on time with the traffic and the morning routine.

for Punggol View, is just next door to my house. so definitely a convenience to send her in the morning. a definite plus. an option I am considering is to have a one way bus transport.

Hmmmm.... still thinking... :?:

Hi, I am considering between Punggol View and Changkat (Simei) for my daughter P1 in 2014. Appreciate your opinions.


Punggol View
- brand new school - not sure how the sch is in term of establishment, culture etc
- convenience as it near to my place, I can send her in the morning
- problem is who to fetch her
- new building and up-to-date facilities

Changkat (Simei)
- my former school
- near my parents’ place
- slightly inconvenience > I have to drive & send her to school every morning, not sure how it impact if I was to chg my job
- more established
