[Choa Chu Kang] Primary Schools

Hi


My kid is due for P1 in 2012. I didn’t know CCK schs are so popular until I read this thread. Almost fainted. Yes, wanted DLS as its opposite my in laws’ pl as they will be fetching him. Another attraction is affliation to SJI.

Is being a Catholic certain to get a place?

I was not familiar with the other schs like Unity, Yew Tee, and Kranji pr as these are also within 1 km fm me. But further for my in laws.

Distance is my priority. But with DLS being so popular, wld like some advice on the rest of the schs.

Also, during my era, there was the typical "ah beng" schs where kids will loiter around and spew vulgar language loudly in public. I think u guys know what I mean. Hope no one gets offended but are there any in the CCK area that I shd avoid?

but dls is moving to teck whye for 2 whole years so if distance is a factor, would it affect yr decision??

btw, being a catholic would not gurantee yr kid a place but would put him in a better position during the phases of registration; he will get to be registered in phase 2B.... looking at dls's history, at some years balloting is also needed for phase 2B....but not for last year....

De La Salle School will temporarily function at holding location, 38 Jalan Teck Whye S(688945) (Former Teck Whye Pr/Sec), from Jan 2011 to Dec 2012 due to upgrading.


Do note that the school's permanent address will be used for distance measuring in case of balloting during P1 registration exercise.

Any parents have children who are already studying in cck pri? I wld have thought this sch will be my final choice due to proximity reason. But tis morn, I saw my neighbour bringing her son to sch. & since her son is studying in cck pri (or so I thought), I casually asked her how was the overall standard of the sch. But was astonished to find that she had transferred to concord pri due to ratio of ethnic reason as well as a too relaxed environment (read : little/no homework). So if any of you has children presently studying there, wld appreciate if you can offer some advice. TIA!

Most Pri 1 have little or no homework.
