thanks a lot, Pen88n, we will put Anglican as our top choice at the moment.

Hi just asking, have you all decided on the sec school your DD or ds will be going? I am staying at Tampines. Any suggestion of good sec school nearby?


My ds marks are around this range at P5.

El 80, Maths 85, CL 85 and Science 80

I thought i was the only one worrying about this.... prematurely :oops:

I have been thinking about this because 1) no affiliation 2) no good schools near home 3) we are far away from everywhere else 4) inaccessibility - I have only 3 bus services here - 1 which is a loop service. 1 goes to the next town next door. And 1 that travels to the north via expressway. Bus interval -20 mins wait.

I don't even know how to choose a decent school which is within reasonable travelling time

[Gabby]

Nicnac, I have similar concerns. No affiliation do kid must work harder to ensure he has a decent t-score. Sec schools nearby are Springfield sec, St hilda’s secondary etc.

Are you eyeing any school at all?

Any possibility of moving house if ur place is inaccessible? If not, u might need to consider sending ur kids to school.

Been checking the bus services/mrt stations around the area of some of the schools..
My dd will have to take transport from our place to the mrt station, make 2 mrt transfers ( total 3 different mrt lines), then make her way to school on foot if school is near mrt station, if not, it will be another bus trip. I cannot imagine the time she will spend on travelling (waiting + journey) :faint:

Hi nicnac. Sometimes in life we just have to make compromises and settle for the lesser of two undesirable outcomes. All that travelling would definitely take it out of your daughter. Children spend a lot more time in secondary school with CCAs and the like. You do not want your daughter carrying a heavy school bag during the evening rush hours on her marathon journey home. If you have to opt for a less than ideal choice for a secondary school but with the advantage of being much nearer to home then I would go for it in preference to a slightly better school that is much farther away. Just my five dollars' worth...

Would like to know is there going to be another big jump from p5 to p6? or p5 results are a good indication of yr psle results? My ds marks were quite stable the past 3 terms. Tia.
