qms:

Actually, would you be able to share what is not good about Concord? Not stressful enough for your kid? :scratchhead:

ya!!!!

hahaahahaa.... its good for the children but to me...like not preparing the children leh....tat's why i in dilemna lor....

I heard from neighbour whose P4 nephew is in CCKPS has remedial lessons after sch even though he's in the top class....whereas my boy who is in the top 3 class in Concord can 'report home' everyday! Remedial is really only for those weak students.....

Another fren whose P3 girl is in the top class in a popular Yishun neighbourhood sch also has remedial lessons after school

M i being too paranoid??? being tooooooooooo kiasu??? or remedial lesson is the sch's way to maintain its student's standards so as to uphold the school's popularity??? :scratchhead:

I m worried that the school doesn't prepare them well for their PSLE. But looking at Concord's achievement for the 2009 PSLE, they also produced top scholars too....although scores not as high as tat in SV la....

Or i expecting too much?? :lol:

Hi to Parents out there,


Does your child studying in either one of the above 2 schools? How is the current standard of curriculum like?

For 2012 registration, I am considering Unity as it is less than 1km from home but DLS seems to offer a varied CCA.

Any comments or advise?

Thanks.

Hi , if you child is boy, its better to consider for DLS due to affiliated school .

Hi all,


Anyone knows the PSLE 2010 results for CCK Pri?I don’t seem to be able to find out any info.

Yew Tee Pri and South View Pri have their results available on their websites. Seems to me that the results are comparable, with Yew Tee Pri doing better in some subjects and vice versa.

Thanks!

I called up CCKPS and confirm that they did not post their PSLE result but i read somewhere that they do produce top sch of 275 and above.


I am less than 1km away from SV, but rejected as PV for my DD P1 in 2012. My DH is an ex student from princess elizabeth primary school (any comments on this sch??).

Should i chose:
1. PEPS but need to travel quite far and pay monthly school fees of $100 (i have anothet DS born in 2007)

2. Go for ballotting for less than 1KM in SV??

3. CCKPS or concord??

Any advice please…

PEPS is not that far from CCK lah!
Bus fees may kill, but I will go for PEPS. if commuting became a concern eventually, it may be easier to transfer to CCKPS or concord compared to PEPS which is rather popular in Bt Batok.

but eventually, it depends on your expectations of primary sch education. there are also a lot of benefits of sending kids to schs that are only a walking distance from your home. because time spent commuting to sch can be used resting or doing more worthwhile work at home.

personally to me, i will see which school offers me a better chance of entry because both are popular schs in CCK. I think SVPS phase 2C is very very competitive.

hi geksim_mummy,
is it too late to share my views?
my ds1 is also in a neighbourhood pri sch that is >1km from my place.

we were told during PTM session this year that the kids will be having remedial class once a week (for ds1's level). personally, i hope that remedial classes are for weak students than above average student, because i feel that as a SAHP, i can make better use of my son's time at home.

my personal opinion to your 'situation' is that if you cannot fully embrace the fact that your firstborn's school is suitable for himself and his siblings, how are you going to stand to face sending your dds to the school that have not gain your full support?

MHO.
