[Serangoon] Primary Schools

Cartier,


The PTC on 29/5 was rather short. We were there on time but waited for almost 30 mins before it was our turn. The form teacher rushed through the session with us as there were still many parents behind us. She gave some comments about my dd....didn't have time to go into details...I was a bit disappointed ....didn't get to meet the chinese teacher as the queue to meet her was also long .....

For the june holidays, there is only 1 holiday assignment to make a lantern in preparation for the lantern festival.

It must have been dreadful for you with the long wait and hectic manner the session was conducted. Probably one of the trade-offs with a huge and immensely popular school. Still, I appreciate your sharing with all of us.

Did your dd have to take any 'entrance' test before being posted to her current class?

I stay in Serangoon Central, I am doubt to registered my gal to CHIJ OLN or Yangzheng Primary School. for me more preferred YangZheng, but my husband always quarred over this because he strongly preferred girls school. I am really very doubt as the date of registration is coming soon, I can't decide as I dun have any friend's kids study in this two school before, any friends can help to give some advise please.

Thank you very much and deeply appreciated.

My friend's son studied in Yangzheng, she has good things to say about the principal and that the principal is working towards pushing the school academic standards progressively higher.

Hi, Cartier,

Thanks very much for your info, Deeply appreciated![/quote]Not at all, I didnt help much.

BTW, were you refering to CHIJ OLGC at Serangoon Gardens which is nearer? I believe for CHIJ OLN (Upp Serangoon Road) at phase 2C there will be balloting for >2km. Alternatively you can try PLMGS, isnt it closer to your home?

Cartier,



I really deeply appreciated your helpful info, actually I more prefer PLMGS as the PSLE results more good & the other main reason is nearer to my house - Yang Zheng oso. I heard my collegues said she not prefer CHIJ school as the school system is a little bit slow than others school.
CHIJ OLN really quite far from my house but I got no choice as my daughter is under Phase 2A2 in CHIJ OLN, for others school all under phase 2C, I think the chance can register in PLMGS is very very limited. That is why I very doubt & worry is if I take the risk try to register her in PLMGS on 28th Jul 09, then if fail balloting, I dun know still go chance to register her in CHIJ OLN or not, (the date for Phase 2A2 - 13th Jul 09).

Since she qualifies for 2A2, better make good use of it as most of the schools around this vicinity will require balloting. What do you mean by 'a little bit slow than other schools'?

Hi,


I just went for Roysth's PV interview. Too nervous to ask when will we be notified whether we are selected or not. Shall I wait or call the General office up?

Tks!
