All about Transferring to Other Primary Schools

Hi all,


My son is currently in P2 n is in a all-boys Catholic school.

I'm curious to know what school as I am also considering sending my son to an all-boys Catholic School. Don't have to name the school, but can you share where this school is located as a clue?

I'm surprised with all the injuries, the school has done nothing.

I've had multiple conversation with the form teacher with regards to d matter. I demanded d sch to act as a mediator & settle d matter amicably. Best they cld do is, call both parties down & \"put all issues on d table\". Im nt asking for damages, but a simple apology. At the same time, d parents would know how their child behaves in sch & EDUCATE him at home. Im still waiting for d reply fm d principal on tiz... :stupid:


Meantime, d bully is currently being suspended fm sch for 3days. This was done only after i told d teacher i am considering to opt for a legal advice.

D school too cant ensure that my son will not b in d same class as d bully again next yr coz according to her, class allocation r based on their results. Considering tiz isn't d bully 1st offence, sch shd really DO something abt it. Haiz.

Looks like there is some, but a little, progress on the matter

Press on.

some schools' admin are like \"不见棺材不流泪\"....u need to show your determination to pursue then they will be serious about it

ideally is to transfer the offending party out, not your son, from the class

Sad..& disappointed... I must say d whole system failed coz d new principal is incompetent. She was fm another sch & jz got her promotion tiz yr. Ive applied for a transfer to an affliated sch & is praying hard for a slot. Results will b out in early Dec.

**There is only 1 all-boys sch in Hougang.

Suggested that, but according to d principal, chances shd b given to d bully. \"We shall forgive & let him learn fm his mistakes\". :stupid: & 1 more ting,

I shd consider sending my boy to meet d sch counsellor for being quiet & \"withdrawn\". :x :x Guess d principal is confused or stg. :stupid:

I am considering transferring my son to another school with affiliated sec…to reduce my stress and anxiety level, and not having to compete with other Dragon year boys for a place. After reading some posts here, I’m rather worried if I should do that…to start all over again in a new environment is rather painful.

He will be P5 next year? Generally kind of 'late' to transfer at P5 because most would transfer latest by P4. I noticed there are a few who transferred at P5 in my dd's school though. Do-able if you can find a school and your ds is agreeable

the school can admit the transfer any time there is a vacancy
