My son has been in this school for 6 years and if I had a choice, I wouldnt put him in school again! First 2 years, I already keep on complaining about the teacher already.


His P3,4 and 5 teachers are so much better. But P6 the most important year never keep in touch with me… call me only to complain about my son, and never find out the behind story. So i called up to leave a msg for the teacher to call me back, but no call from her. Last month there is a workshop talking about what the P6 students will be learning, I cant go over to his school as we were staying in Punggol, and my girl is in one of the school in Punggol I have to fetch her from school. And also impossible to bring her along all the way to Macpherson right? My girl has her homework to do and she will be really tired if still have to go over to Macpherson.

So i left a msg for the teacher to called me to briefly let me know about what they will be learning. Also never call. I gave up already. I also dun wanna argue or complain anymore… if not the teacher can just ignore my son work, and tats it! Anyway this is the last year in that school, I just tell my son to focus what teacher teach can already.

Bidadari HDB BTO (Built to Order on demand) flats cover a wide area, received over-whelming demand in last year Nov launch.The two nearest MRT station are Woodleigh & Potong Pasir MRT. (North-east purple line)


If you are staying in Alkaff Oasis, Cedar primary school is the nearest, less than 1 km. Earliest time to shift into Alkaff Vista / Oasis, is 2021 Quarter 4.
Alkaff stretch cover brand new 2 room, 3 generation type, 4 room, 5 room flats, to be built. The 5 room flat lowest starting costs price is around $ 546, 000, low floor.

Cedar primary school psle academic standard is average.

During P1 registration, there were vacancies for Phase 3 (foreign students), this year (2016).

Cedar is a co-ed school.

However, the girls in Cedar primary are not affliated to Cedar Girls Secondary (all girls school).
For O level : the Cut off point to enter Cedar Secondary is at least lowest / minimum, 250

For IP track : Cut off point is around at least 254, or above.

For IP track : in year 5 & year 6, girls in Cedar Secondary, will goto study in Victoria Junior College, for GCE \"A\" level, as part of Integrated-program-Alliance partner.

Bidadari HDB Construction project, cover a very wide area.

Another new part of Bidadari project -
coming up very soon in November 2016 (today already close to end of Sep), for people to apply BTO flats direct from HDB, is somewhere much nearer towarda Bartley road side. Over there, they will build new 3 room, 4 room HDB flats. But no 5 room flat construction here, in this section of the Bidadari project.

The nearest primary school in this case, is Catholic mission Maris Stella primary, where the boys are affliated to Maris Stella High / Secondary. This is a very popular all boys school.

People buying HDB flats in this Bidadari enclosure : will be less than 1 km, from Maris Stella primary.

Maris Stella primary is a SAP school.
If you like deep, strong-rooted Chinese oriented culture, this is the school to look out for.

Property guru said that Bidadari may be like another next new Bishan.

Cedar primary will be very popular : once Bidadari new families start to shift in, after 2021.
The school is just next door to Alkaff Oasis. Students living here just walk downstairs, turn into Cedar Avenue to reach school, no need to take any school bus.

Demand for Cedar Girls dual track (offer O level + IP curriculum) Secondary school, expected to shoot up, like hot cake too !


Maris Stella, currently already very popular, being a hot SAP school. Once new Bidadari families shift in after 2021 Q4, demand will shoot up !

Very good analysis!


Those who are considering Cedar Primary, I suggest you call up the school to find out when is their next annual open house.

I attended the open house a few years back, was quite impressed by the P5 prefects who were assigned to give each pair of parents a short tour of the school, then lead us to a P1 classroom where the principal gave us a PowerPoint presentation.

It was a very good chance for us to observe the prefects in action (didn't see the other students though as it was after-school hours already)...also looking carefully at the materials & artwork put up in the classroom, you will find out what the P1 kids are learning, whether values are emphasized etc. Principal's content & emphasis will show you where the school's priorities lie. It is a very small intake each year due to the school being deep inside the surrounding landed estate. Advantages of that are, everybody knows each other, each child is given a chance to lead in some capacity.

We didn't choose Cedar in the end but it was one of our backup schools. I was quite impressed at the open house but do go & form your own opinion
