[Choa Chu Kang] Primary Schools

[West]

Hi All,


first of all, good luck to those school that need balloting. I went through it last year. from st anthony pri (hubby school) -> south view pri (volunteer , but 1-2km) so rejected -> de la salle (ballot in 2C) -> kranji pri (finally).

Kranji pri … hmmm … not bad so far, pri 1 and pri 2 afternoon classes, with some cca to try , then i think pri 3 they will select their cca. Teachers very prompt and helpful while study materials more or less same as other schools. Furthermore school is clean and tidy.

My kid do enjoy his lesson there, and since his chinese result not bad , was transferred to 1st class to take higher chinese (jus for fun at the moment). At the end of this yr, there will be changing of classes (based on result).

Hope these help !!

I am going to apply in phase 3. From the current situation I am hoping that I will be able to get only into teck whye primary or karnji primary. I would appreciate if someone could guide me as to which one among them is a better option.

Thanks.

Hi Tanadi,

If you are looking for academic excellence for your child, better apply to Concord Primary School.

In academic excellence, Concord is ranked ahead of all other CCK schools except South View. Concord is ranked higher than even De La Salle. So, if you are not residing too far away from Concord, I think you should seriously try Concord.

Regards.

I would definately prefer Concord or CCK primary, if I had a choice. But there is one more phase to go - Phase 2C supplementary. Am just looking for options, in case these two schools get filled. I stay close to both these schools. Are there any good schools in Bukit Panjang area, which are open for phase 3??

How about Zhenghua Primary? Heard they say is not bad as well. Should have some seats left for P2C. Good luck to you in getting into your choice of school.

P2Cs is still for singaporean/PR, for those who don't get a seat during ballot in P2C.. foreigners who are neither citizens nor PR will need to go for P3 & it will be a first-come first-served basis.

In an open forum like this, who dares to write any negative feedback about any school ? I’ve yet to see any. Most are just subtle hints. I guess no one wants to get shot but some schools are less popular for specific reasons. I find the most balanced feedback comes from those parents whose children have been with the school for at least 3 years. P1/P2…still too early to say. Ask around your neighbours or friends.

think tanadi is foreigner, that’s why asking ard now so that when phase 3 opens, can ‘charge’ down to reg asap since it’s first come first serve basis.
