2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

[farmview]

Hi fellow users,


I am in the process of enrolling my daughter for Primary 1 in 2014. At present, we are living in Australia and may return to Singapore in the second half of next year or even early 2015. Whilst we are very keen to stay in Australia, very much depends on the job market in the coming years.

I have been notified to enrol my daughter under Phase 2C. We are within 1km from four primary schools - Unity, De La Salle, Kranji and Yew Tee. My application process is either to send documents to the pupil placement section OR direct to the preferred schools.

Herein lies our predicament - my little girl is going to school in Australia and enjoys her school environment. They have small classes and everything is taught in English in a highly discovery oriented manner, unlike Singapore classrooms that are more structured and rigid? She speaks very much with an Australian accent and cannot read Chinese at all. We are looking for a school that is not necessarily academically inclined but more towards developing morals and civic mindedness.

All suggestions/comments are welcomed.

Many thanks!

Normally we would advise parents to go down to each of the schools they are evaluating to personally experience the logistics, environment, students, teachers and principals. However, for obvious reasons, this cannot apply to you. Your only choice would be to evaluate each of the schools' websites, or to visit KiasuParents.com's Parents' Networking Groups for each of these schools found here:

You might pick up some pointers from parents who already have children there.

Dear parents, would appreciate your advice: I have heard some friends mention that nanyang primary school work is not as vigorous as other school like Tao nan or aitong or st Andrew. Is this true? I would like to enroll my dd to a good school with good values but at the same time, hope she can have a 'childhood'.

Nanyang Pri not vigorous?! My niece is there. On the first parents briefing, the principal assured parents their child can only but do well there, no need worry; parents are encouraged to let their children play instead. Then I hear even children of doctors drop out at and P3 &P4 bec of the stress. Do your maths.

IMHO, Nanyang is the most prestigious and top primary school. Make sure you put square pegs into round holes. If your child is just average, avoid NYPS. I applied to NYPS as PV and was rejected. Today, my child is in CCPS. She is happier there. Top in class, top in standard. Why be a small fish in a big tank, when you can be a big fish in a small tank? Have a thought, your choice. Btw, my 3rd child is registering for P2A1 st Andrews Junior and no, they are not vigorous.

Thanks for the info. Got to think hard on it. . :scared:

We are overseas. Have submitted child's documents for P1 registration, applying to alma mater. Easiest way..Just waiting for results. Not even thinking about square pegs and round holes. That will be another story altogether later :scared:


Little Piggy is going to primary school (already?!) All the best to everyone whose child is participating in the 2013 exercise :rahrah:

Neighbourhood schools the best option!

If get into a poppular school - it is not just torturous process now (with ballotting and all) but also for the next 6years for a child’s life and of course the poor mummy and daddy too!
Popular school…nah for me…
