Sis brenda, go for greendale, will be safer....it have been improved in the sch over the years. Ignore those rumours flying around.

brendawanwan:

those who cannot get into Mee Toh Pri, can share will you be gg for Greendale or Edgefield primary?
I still cannot decide.

I see no diff between the two.
But if I'm given a choice (and distance priority same-same), I will pick Oasis.

GYPS : perhaps Moe can consider re-name it to Yang guang (Sunshine) primary, then perhaps more students will come to be enrolled.

Big taboo to change any character in a 100-year-old Chinese school name. 拆人家的百年牌匾？’光洋‘的’洋‘是’南洋 (Singapore) ‘的’洋‘，不是’太阳‘的’阳‘。The character is already enshrined in their 100-year-old school anthem.

Am left with no cherries to pick! GYPS under 1-2km radar, FTPPS, <1km. Now I just have to teach my child to be prudent, err, sensible, hmm, no monkey business, mind your manners… force myself in PV then equipped myself with a light-up fly-swat that goes ‘zappp’ when a fly is caught and flick all the flies away. And try to fall in love with whatever the school dish out!!! Then tell the kids with problems to come to Auntie AGONY to solve problems rather than asking your peers. Auntie says they can’t help much at this stage, wait till they grow older.

The only song I have in mind for past 3 days is nothing about National Day but Welcome to the Jungle.

I went to Bukit View’s website and found this. The temporary relocation to Jurong East will be inconvenient for you.

Why don’t you choose Lianhua Primary, which has 112 vacancies and is not too far from you? Have a look at their website, you can see the activities which the kids do: http://lianhuapri.moe.edu.sg/whats-up-at-lh

The other school (Dazhong Primary with 114 vacancies) is located nearer to Bukit Gombak, which I assume is too far away for you.

Huhu.. Lianhua is quite far too... the next option for me is bukit timah primary.. not sure how this school is doing.. cant find much review on this school too

But if you are closer to Bukit Timah Primary then go for it. Many many KSPs have already commented it is a good school. My friend’s DC over there also doing ok so far (now P2). Only 79 vacancies left, so u need to make sure your distance no need balloting.

If you were to consider the below 3 Schools which one is better?


Bendeemer Primary
Farrer park Primary
Stamford Primary

Farrer Park
Stamford
Bendemeer

Why don't you look at the school's achievements and CCAs? It's important because some schools don't support/participate in certain national level competitions or offer certain DSA-useful activities. 'Useful' as in for your kid. Could otherwise be useful to other pupils who have an interest/talent/aptitude in that school's fixed menu of CCAs/competitions.

E.g. Farrer is strong in Dance and has been getting Distinction in SYF. The rest are Accomplishment. So if your kid cannot dance, then...

If u are within 1km from ftps, consider trying your luck for mcs? Just my 2 cents worth as ftps most likely will still have seats in phase 3?

Reason? Nicer name? :rotflmao:[/quote]Nicer name helps
Oasis - brand new school, brand new facilities.
Current students get to mould its identity and from what I've seen of several new schools, the new schools' leaders are very \"on\" and hands-on.

In terms of take-up rate so far:
Greendale - 126/320 i.e. 39.3%
Edgefield - 178/280 i.e. 63.6%
Oasis - 220/320 i.e. 68.8%
As a new school, there has to be a reason for it's popularity relative to the other two :evil:

Hi,

I am new to this forum.
I was unsuccessful in phase 2C and is now awaiting Phase 2c Sup. I must say it was the most disappointing and terrible feeling. I was lost for the next 2 days but am now slowly getting over it and reorganizing my thoughts.
Anyone going through the same experience and residing in Jurong?
