At 22%? That's lower than last year's 29% leh....

High because she is registering this year, BigD. Any number is considered high for parents of later phases.

Hi all,


I’m actually quite torn between West Grove and Xingnan, dun know which school choose as first choice yet.

Heard that WGP standard has drop, how true is this? can anyone verify this?

I have been to Xingnan Open House, quite impressed with their ECA and heard from my friend who is a teacher there sayign their school Math is top.

Can anyone share with me?

Also, does anyone have the link to calculating the distance between sch and home?

Thanks so much for the help.

Hi cincin,

Sorry I do not know the standard for Xingnan and WG.

For distance between school and home, check this link out:

For the school distance I would suggest u to contact the school directly!!!!

I do agree with LKVM. That would definitely be faster.

Just let them know your address and they will be able to let you know which distance category you fall into..

Good luck!

I have been following those 2 schools and havent heard the standard of WG dropped leh :? though I have heard the standard of Xingnan has gained but i heard mostly for Chinese... Xingnan is quite out of way for me thats why its not my 2nd choice but if its near ur house u can make it ur 1st choice :celebrate:

LKVM,

Thanks for replying as well. Actually Im staying near Pioneer Mall, and Xingnan is rather far off for me.

Xingnan has got a special class for chinese which need to be paid for, maybe that's the reason why chinese is improved.

my hb wanted a girls school for my dd to go into but is reall hard as all the girls school are not in our area. headache....

[cincin]

Oh and one more thing. Is there a good student care centre in our area?


I have just called up XNP, the officer say im within 2km.

WGP- within 2km
XNP- within 2km
