For boys, there are four Methodist schools - ACPS, ACJS, Fairfield and Geylang Methodist.Hi, I am new here. Started reading this cos I thought I should get some ideas first though my son is not due for registration until 2012 (2013 intake).
I am Christian so I want my son to be in a Christian school. I have 2 school of choice & unfortunately, both I have no affliation with cos I was from RGPS and I cant register my son there. DH school in the East & no longer around.
Choice of school:
1. ACS (Primary)
2. Fairfield Methodist (submitted PV & awaiting for school to call in June)
3. ACS (Junior)
Any other Christian schools around? Not keen on Catholic schools if given a choice. Residence wise, I am flexible as I am currently staying with my parents & depending on where we want to register my son, we will move near there. I understand the min. validity of address is 6 mths prior to registration but heard of cases where they got the address 2 weeks prior.
Good to hear any recommendations.
Two Presbyterian - Pei Hwa and Kuo Chuan
Two Anglican - St. Andrews Junior and St. Hilda's
and a host of Catholic schools. You can see the whole list of schools on this page: http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/listing-by-planning-area/
What denomination do you belong to? Because if you attend any Methodist church (there might be other conditions), you are allowed to register in Phase 2B. Ditto with the Presbyterian and Anglican schools, I think. So that could help narrow your choices.
On address, there is no rule saying you need to have lived there six months prior to registering. You can literally change your address on your nric the day of registration. What counts is that you must truly live at that address, and intend to live there throughout the six years of your DS' primary education. Good luck! -
With the new electoral boundaries, I may have shot at choosing either fairfield Methodist or ACS. Which one would be a better choice in your opinion?
Would appreciate your thoughts as I'm in a bit of a loss. I've read a comment from someone who also has a choice of these 2 schools (by way of Methodist) that putting the son in Fairfield would seem like discounting the child's ability. Do any of you have the same thoughts?
I was originally planning to put my boy in Fairfield but lately I notice that the results of Fairfield appear to have somewhat deteriorated from its heydays and less stellar compared to ACS: is that a fair assessment? But I do have friend's kids in Fairfield and they're very happy.
I'm at a loss now. What would u do if u were me? :idea: -
Hi,
I’m currently staying at Bishan and will be registering my son (2005) for P1 this year. Initially I thought that my address was within 1 km of Catholic High so I wanted to try registering for it. But i just found out its 1.1km and i have not been able to do PV cos we have been living overseas for the last 5 years. Chances of getting a plc seems really, really slim so I am wondering if we should just forget about CH and just try Kuo Chuan cos we are within 1 km ( I’m not even sure which phase should i register under cos i’m so confused!!!). Is anyone familiar with Kuo Chuan Primary? Is it any good?
Am sure there are lots of parents who are like me that worry that if they do not try to send their child to a top school…would we be depriving them of a good foundation? On the other hand I can’t help but think that if they go to an average school and perform…they can still get into a good secondary school which i feel is just as important. I have friends telling me that sometimes it may not be a bad thing to put the child in an ave school where he is happy n triving than to have him suffering with low self esteem and struggling in a top school.
Aiyah! Real headache!!! -
email to cath hi, if the sch confirms u r out of 1km, can really forget it cos there is already balloting WITHIN 1KM for phase 2b and 2c if u double chk wif the balloting history. ask the sch abt the balloting history.
kuo chuan is ave national ave i heard.
cath hi i feel is for the cream of the top -
last year there were only 9 seats each for phase 2b and 2c for cath hi.
not sure if history will repeat this year.
if u choose cath hi at phase 2c and dont get in, got to double chk balloting hist of kuo chuan to see if still got seats at phase 2c supp -

Thks! I will email them to confirm. I heard about that and I'm not sure i want to go thru that kinda stress and end up not getting a plclast year there were only 9 seats each for phase 2b and 2c for cath hi.

Seems like Kuo Chuan din have any vacancies left after phase 2C last year. Wonder if year 2005 had more babies than 2004?
If I'm within 1 km of Kuo Chuan, no PV...which phase should I be registering under? 2 C? -
2c
2b is for pv or church members -
