Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

[ineedmilk]

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!

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?

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

mine is GOOD planning okay! so that i dun have to deal with 2 babies at the same time. anyway, we have plans to move after dd1 finishes p6 so phases 1-2A are useless to us.

Verykiasuparents,

Some couples could be trying hard for #2, but ‘swimmers’ don’t swim hard to reach ‘target’, that’s why there is big age difference.
My kids are about 5 years difference…bcos I wasn’t planning to have #2 after son was born with cleft.

Even so, your DD will still be eligible for Phase 2A2 for HPPS. That's also a shoo-in.

Be sensitive...you may be fertile and productive, others may not be...not very issue is \"jokable\" esp. when it comes to marriage and babies. I have friends who have #2 after 13 years later...is that super poor family planning?
