You can forget about trying in P2C if your girl doesn't get into the school in P2B. Historically, balloting was conducted only for those living within 1 km.

You won't even get a chance to participate in the balloting. Hence, the two balloting slips for Singaporeans will not help you at all.

Hi all,


Could you share some advice on Gongshang Primary’s standard now - especially in the areas of curriculum and character development? Also, does the school currently offer Chinese as a Higher Language?

Thanks!

I view MOE website on all Primary school in Tampines.


School in Tampines which has at least School Distintiion Award is:-

St Hilda’s
Tampines Pri
Chongzeng Pri

I wander why is Poi Ching and Gongsheng is so popular? This school dont even have School Distintion award

[AZ020970]

Opps... Gongshang pri has school distintion award. Not Chongzheng... OMG this two name is so similar....sorryyy


so three good school to consider in tampines is:-

St hilda's
Tampines Pri
Gongshang Pri

I will put my daughter in Tampines Pri next year. Heard a lot of good comment on that school too as the school is improving each year. And I stayed within less than 1km from that school. Easy registration.

Hihi! Poi Ching is ever popular because it is SAP School.

There are only 15 SAP schools in Singapore. Poi Ching does not receive school distinction award as it is too new and therefore does not have enough track record (min. 5 years of PSLE results).

For the first 2 years, it reported outstanding results. Last year, the results were not great but definitely better than neighbourhood schools. I taught in Poi Ching as a relief teacher in 09 and can tell you that the school itself has many enrichment programs, be it Art, Physics Education.

If you forsee your child as an outstanding student (Top 80 in level), he can expect to go on overseas exchange programs every year from P4 onwards. To my knowledge, this is a rare practice for primary schools.

I cant remember the percentage, but a large number of students take up higher Chinese within the school. It is a great bilingual environment.

is Poi Ching starting single session next year? will the 2012 intake of P1 students in the morning session? thanks.
