[Bishan] Primary Schools

[jor]

Just to touch a little on the alumni topic.


My mother went thru up and down, visit the school everyday beg the principal to get me into you know which school. Donated some money too. That was in the 70’s. Till now she still remember.

That time we stayed very far, i had to take 1.5 hrs bus each way to school every day. remember pocket money 50cents!!

So what you parents do now, your kids will remember.

Hello everyone. I am back. I went window shopping instead of waiting at home :lol: waited till 430pm only called the school. As expected, my boy does not have lucky draw luck (it runs in the family) so we have to go through registration process again next week. This time at AMK. Oh well. May be just not meant to be so we already prepared. Will pray that whatever school my da ends up with, he will be happy there.

:imsorry: At least you can tell yourself that you tried. Many of us chickened out of even trying for CHS. We all tell ourselves that it is God's will. I am still convincing myself that we went to another school for the badminton CCA (which CHS does not offer). No matter wat school our kids end up in, we kiasuparents will still give them the best and help them succeed wherever they are.
Good Luck at Phase 2C Supp and may you be spared the anguish of balloting.

Yes, now I can tell my ds that I tried my best. Now it is his turn to try his best if he wants to go CHS still I also prayed before that it is God's Will that we gave CHS two chances. Hope I did not misinterpret HIM
I also need to pray hard that I be spared the anguish of balloting again don't think can take it the 3rd time. So do hope that all those fall out from balloting today do not all flock to the AMK school of my choice next :xedfingers:
Wow, you already know which CCA you want to kid to join before P1? I still hope that my ds will try a few and find out what he likes eventually.

If you apply in both Phase 2B and 2C and you are a Catholic, you can try to put your DS on CH wait list.


And hope they will call you up.

If not, wait for end P1 for your kid to get and check if you can transfer, if not try end P2, if not try GEP end P3, etc.

Wow, it's like hitting TOTO... they must be ecstatic!

But after a challenging time coaching my ds in Chinese yesterday, I now wonder whether the kids who fought so hard to get into the top schools can all excel in there... guess we won't know till they try

DS almost made me vomit blood...
