[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

SPC:

Give APS another 6 years. Its pretty much trial and error now. There would definitely be initial implementation gaps. Feels like P3 and P4 are guinea pigs every new year as they progress. They may be a cool school in future, but right now they are just a test bed with new teaching team. I'd let other brave parents contribute their child to be part of the school maturity progress. Principal and their VPs will just be rotated after a few terms. Ultimately, the big chunk of your child's success is what you consistently do with them at home and whether the kid's peers are black or white pearls.

Usually, new schools are test bed for guinea pig. Need several round of psle batches, to test out the standard first

you can put principals who helmed top schools when starting a new school, but the teachers and students’ background play a big part in the success. if the students are from neighbourhoods which cannot afford tuition or parents who leave everything to the school to teach, then you can’t expect impressive grades.

Schools around Tiong Bahru/Redhill are not many considering like Gan Eng Seng,Zhangde & APS.Heard that Queenstown Pri also highly sought due to the new development of Dawson area. Ha ha really maybe we should go back to old days where study a school just within 1km or close to your home.

for tiong bahru area, there are schools like gan eng seng, zhang de which are nearest.
cantonment is closer to pinnacle estate. APS is within 1km. chij kellock is a good choice for girls considering the fact there is an affiliated secondary.

Cantonment primary is closest to expensive Duxton 50-storey high flats.


But don’t know why Cantonment : not popular, got a lot of vacancies at 2C Supp / Phase 3

aunt's neighbour at duxton rented a unit close to ACS to register the son there. although cantonment primary is very convenient for duxton residents, not many seem to be registering their kids there...it could be cantonment primary is not tested. if a top psle scholar arises from that school, it will become hot...of course such news is not allowed to be published anymore.

Cantonment primary started in 2010. The pioneer batch of Psle students was last year (2016).

Maybe need to wait for top PSLE scorer from Gan Eng Seng, Blangah Rise,Cantonment Pri to surface out in order to move up the profile in BM Pri Sch cluster


Alexandra Pri would continue to attract more applications base on the profiles of P & VP.But guess thier term of service usually 5 yrs to 7 yrs would need to change.
