Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools

[Aksz84]

Dear Parents,


Just a quick check. Any parents who kids are in Pathlight now and is intending to take Mother Tongue (Chinese) PSLE?

Wanna check is there and my recommendations on enrichment/tuition for learning Mother Tongue based on MOE curriculum?

My boy is in mainstream P1 now. But is in the progress of getting into Pathlight.

Thanks in advance!

I believe Pathlight students do not take MT lessons at all, neither do they sit for MT at PSLE. They will be assigned a MT grade based on their exemption.

Should be able to. I believe the MT exemption will continue in secondary school and beyond.

Hi All,


Need some advise, planning for my boy’s primary registration for next year. We will be within 1 km of Marie Stella and wife is alumni for Ai Tong, conflicted on which to choose. Some of our consideration are:
- Probability of getting into the school
- Academic stress
- Benefit one has over the other

Appreciate your advice and experience. Thanks in advance.

I would think your choice would be simple. Just take advantage of your wife's status and go for Ai Tong.
Ai Tong may require balloting in Phase 2A. In the rare chance that you might get balloted out, you can try for Maris Stella in Phase 2C.
If you have asked this question a year ago, I would recommend that you do PV in Ai Tong to get to know the school better and get a chance for Phase 2B. But it is too late now for that since you will be bidding in June this year.
