      There will be spill over applicants from Queenstown planning area, specifically Fairfield. They are talking about 'that school' now!


      Alexandra can become the future CHIJ St Nicholas, of Bukit Merah -
      if from Primary 1 onwards : the Principal turn Alexandra into learning Higher Chinese, instead of Normal Chinese

      Hope that they can form a class or 2 to learn higher chinese in the future 😄
      Possible?

          Chinese is the chinese that most students learn - used to be known as "EM2 Chinese".


          Higher Chinese used to be known as "EM1 Chinese"

          Basic Chinese used to be known as "EM3 Chinese"

          *Assuming you are similar age to me… these EM1, EM2, EM3 were the streaming terms we had when we were in pri sch.
