[Tampines] Primary Schools

[lynhong]

Called up MOE & GMPS to find out.


Must say nowadays the response very fast.

Eg.
I graduate from GMSS but not entitle to reg under other phrase except 2C cos it’s not a "Full" school.

Meaning as long as the primary & secondary has the same principle, then it’s consider a Full school.

Hi Chief,


You mentioned Red Swastika as a pretty good school. It is betty than Zhongshan or Chongzheng?

Btw, anyone has comments about Tampines Primary School? I know this school has a lot of interesting initiatives but not so sure about how good the school is.

Hi,


Anybody know about Yumin, Tampines North and East Spring?

We are staying 1 km from East Spring. Within 2 km from Yumin, Tampines North, CongZheng.

I have called CongZheng, seems we do not have chance. Therefore only left Yumin, Tampines North and East Spring

I am thinking about Yumin. But if you were me, which one you will choose?

How about Primary school in Pasir Ris? Except Pasir Ris and White Sand (which I think both chances are quite slim), which other school is good in Pasir Ris?

Thanks

Red Swastika has a much better academic record than either Gongshang and Chongzheng. All 3 are very popular schools and require balloting under Phase 2C.

Tampines Primary is a small school and not as popular amongst Tampines residents. It did manage to produce a top 10 PSLE student in 2006, though. The question is whether that is a fluke or if the school has really got the processes to continue doing so.

Hello, I am also one of the worried mother who is looking for schools in Tampines for my 6 year old daughter. Anyone out there knows about schools like East View Primary, Tampines Primary School, QiaoNan Primary school, etc. Would appreciate if anyone can advise? I am within 1Km of St. Hildlas Primary but I know the chances to go in there are very slim.

We are staying within 1 km from East Spring too. I asked some parents & tutors. Some have good feedback some don't. Some said lack in the academic standard.

I think a lot of parents choose East Spring is because of location wise, as within 1 km from this school have quite a number of HDB flat.

Hi


Any parents register their child in Poi Ching today for phase 2B? Just want to gauge how’s the respond as I’ve heard from parents who went to RSS and Temasek Primary, there were almost 20-50 parents who have registered just in the morning itself.

Please provide some updates as I can’t wait till end of tomorrow to see the remaining vacancies for Phase 2C.

You can call up Poi Ching to check. Usually schools will reveal the numbers as some parents has to make decisions if they are eligible for more than one school.

oh ya, silly me. Thanks Red_Rhino for the advice, have already enquired from the school. Think this whole registration has really stressed out all parents with kids going P1 next year.
