There were more 2B applicants this year as compared to last year. Wonder why. We chose SMPS cos we didn't want our little girl to be in a pressure cooker but instead to just enjoy growing up in a nurturing environment

With all the good comments in this thread, including yours.... Am not surprise the take up rate will surge

[goldpiggy]

I called the school, they told me that seats are mostly taken by applicants >2km in phase 2B.


I think they PV way before. Maybe more than 1 -2 years.[/quote]


I am >2km and I registered for PV in Nov 2011 to put my dd in P1 (2014 intake). Was then called up for ‘lollipop’ duties in Mar 2012.

I did some homework by asking friends working in educational institutions abt SMPS and was told about the nurturing environment and the emphasis of good values versus academic results. We understood that we couldn't have the whole cake and eat it. So we agreed that it was more important for our dd to have a strong values foundation to being a wholesome person when she grows up. Everything else can build from there

You really do your homework well.

hi all, im new here and am glad to see good reviews on SMPS. i’m intending to send my girl back to my alma mater so here i am… trying to read up more to keep myself abreast of the on-goings.


May I know if any mummies here send their gers to SMPS even though they live more than 10kms away? and y? Trying to convince myself that the sch is not too far away for us, living ard 15km away from the sch.

Hi Klairity,


I'm staying at Woodlands. Dd is p2 this year. My girl enjoys school very much.as for traveling journey wise- we are kinda used to it. The traffic is normally smooth early morning . Dd is very happy studying there. The girls are quite well- behave as far as I know.

hi mummies


we just registered our dd via online reg on the 29 july, and we are staying <1km. I wonder they will confirm the online reg than the walk in or they will review everything and confirm those stay <1km, 1-2km and >2km. Kindly advise.

And mummies who send their dd to the student care, how much are the fees during school holiday and whether the school bus pick them up or we have to send them by ourselves?
