Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

ultramao:

Hi qms, thanks for your suggestion. Regarding the recommendation letter from SHHK, do you know when they will give the recommendation? Is it after Phase 2A and before 2B? or is it given before Phase 2A?

Thanks!

after Phase 2A just before Phase 2B.

I am an old girl of SCGS and my son is in Henry Park. Where should I register my girl?


If you were in my position, what are the considerations you will look into to decide on the school. :?

Both are very good schools.

your position is actually very easy to decide - many parents will love to be in your shoes.
consider 2 things (in whichever order is your priority); 1. logistics (fetching) 2. affiliation 3. whether you prefer girls or co-ed school

Since you consider both to be very good schools, then why not make things easy and just let your DD join her brother at Henry Park?

Hi,


Can anyone advise if distance is really important in selecting a Pri school? I’m an old school girl of Tao Nan but I’m staying in Pasir Ris. No plans to move house so if I register my daughter into Tao Nan, she will need to travel from Pasir Ris to Marine Parade every day. Is this advisable? or better for me to register her in a Pri Sch in Pasir Ris itself?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, when DD goes into P1, DS would have finished P6, otherwise, it would definitely be HPPS.
