2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take

[MupMip]

Hi mommies, I’m newbie and a foreigner. I have rat-boy and I really wish to find a school for him around Hougang. I know it’s difficult for us but kindly you give me some information and advice (which suitable school, even "bad" school that my son can join…)


Another question, was there any children who have no school to join in the past? And if had, they had to wait for the next "competition", right?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can get any suggestion here, because we don't have \"bad\" school in Singapore.

Yep, just for fun, so that I put the word like \"bad\". I mean there're some very popular schools that local parents extremely want and not much for the others. I know Singapore has a very good education before.
Then I'm very sorry I upset you.

Education minister (hsk) said all schools are good, in Singapore.


However, some parents here deem some schools as more popular, & some schools less popular.

Wow, thank you very much for your responses, indeed.

My son is in Phase 3 and I really want him to persue his study in Singapore, where there're lots of good schools and has safe environment.

Thanks for your useful information. I'll consider these schools.

You are welcome. Under Phase 3, your child is considered a foreigner and it is important for him to be registered successfully in a primary school that still has vacancies at Phase 3. When your child's results improve and is considered very good, you can consider apply for transfer/waitlist in other primary schools or choose to stay on in the school. I know of a girl from Xinghua Primary School who was from China and managed to score very high marks in her PSLE. She missed by a few marks to enter Nanyang Girls' High and eventually settle down in Dunman High. If your child is willing to work hard, anything is possible. I guess your child is in kindergarten now and you have to build up the child's foundation, especially in Phonics & Reading to strengthen the child's English. Foreigners' children tend to excel in Math, Sci and Chinese.

My child is extremely interested in English but he's not in Singapore yet. I am confusing whether I send him to study at kindergarten right next academic year or not. I dont know if he has any opportunity to be accepted by a kindergarten this time. If has, I guess I'll let him start as soon as possible.

Could you give me some advice?
