Hi,
If you are an old girl of the school, you will fall under Phase 2A...if alumni member, Phase 2A1. As for registration date, your daughter will given a booklet from her childcare/kindergarten in late June/early July with all the dates for children under diff phases.
This booklet is for children registering this year. http://www.moe.edu.sg/education/primary/files/primary-one-registration-info-sheet.pdf

Sorry to bother, but getting stressed out now over which primary school to put my DS in next year. I want to put him in the most suitable school for him but I really don't know how to assess that, i.e., whether he'll be able to cope academically in a good school or will he be underchallenged or his full potential not being brought out if not in a 'branded'/top school.


If you could choose between Henry Park or Fairfield Methodist (very good chance of getting into either school), which one would you go for?
DH and I were not old boy/girl so no direct experience in these 2 schools and not sure which school to go for.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!! :?:

My choice would be Fairfield. To me, it's simple - Fairfield is affiliated to a secondary school and subsequently to a JC, so if my child is mediocre in his/her studies, I won't feel so stressed out.

Henry Park, while good, is not affiliated to any secondary school so my child would have to work very hard at PSLE.

And Fairfield has the plus of being a Christian school that would also teach Christian values - important criteria for me.

So it depends on your situation, what you look for in a school, your chances of getting in, how far you live from the schools etc. Good luck!

I would choose Fairfield Methodist too. Reason is simple...Fairfield has an affiliated secondary school and it will help a lot with the lower COP (cut off point). So my child won't have to compete with other kids for a place...esp with tougher PSLE standards now. It's very stressful if my child is an average student and there is no affiliated sec school.

If you have a higher chance at Maris Stella, also have affiliated sec school, why don't you go for it ? Personally, I would go for a safer choice.

if i go for maris, to ensure no balloting at all, i would hv to shift house but not sure to be within 1m or 1-2km cos not many houses within 1km. 1-2km more houses but also means less chance and more risk.
