Would Haig Girls be more suitable for child who is not academically inclined?

you stay in the east ? can consider Haig Girls, CHIJ Katong primary. These two Girls' schools are much better than St Anthony Cannosian primary

Alternative for me is to select east side schools. Between haig girls and chij Katong, which would be better ?

[phtthp]

CHIJ Katong has advantage, due to affliation to Secondary school. On last day of Phase 2C, monitor closely. If you can enter CHIJ Katong without balloting, go ! But if need to ballot, enter Haig Girls #2 choice, because Haig Girls no affliation. Primary school wise : both are good


That is, if you are staying in the east.
If you stay in Queensway, then choose CHIJ Kellock, also a good school.

Phtthp, CHIJ Kellock is moving out of its Queensway holding site after Dec 2018. From Jan 2019 it will be back to its newly renovated permanent site in Telok Blangah.

Yes. P1 stress level already way up high.

Please consider your other nearby options. RMPS has reputation of most stressful in that district.

Thanks. Would Haig Girls be more suitable for child who is not academically inclined?

If you are looking for a less stressful school, then what about St.margaret’s? Take note that they will be moving to holding site at the current MacPherson Primary School in 2020. Affiliation to secondary school also and currently, the smps students need only an aggregate of 200 to secure a place in Express stream (while +/- 240 for non-affiliation).

Thanks! Actually all 4 schools are about the same walking distance.
Am keen to go for West Spring. I got a friend with kids there who enjoy the school, but i think there is a chance of balloting for SC <1km. So it's whether to take the risk, or go for either Greenridge or Zhenghua. :scratchhead:
This stage of life is such a headache...haiz
