:?

new here...and definitely new abt the primary sch system etc..
how do u all find out about the pri sch, like war cirrculum, ECA etc?
whether single session or not? via each primary school's URL? or there are somewhere that have these kind of information/summary?

VIRGO! welcome to KSP :hugs:
CCAs and peek into school life, you can get from the school's website.
Single session or not, you can go to http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_index.asp and then select your choice of schools - the pop up page will display the whether its single or double session. Do note that the CCAs listed in the pop up list may not be accurate. for CCAs, best is refer to the sch's website.
finally, do read http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3311 - a lot of info for you to digest.

Hi which khatib area are you? Khatib should be within 1km to Northland. I stay at khatib area too. <1km. Blk 6XX... Me too not ex-student nor belong to the clan. The only way is PV. You may email to northland begin of next year for 2006. As I registered begin of this year and they reply me for born 2005 will notify me again on this July. So at least you prepared yourself earlier. Never try never knw mah..

hello

hi hi,


How about Xishan Primary School? Very little is heard about the school.

I am choosing school for my child born in 2004. At this moment, I am skewed towards chongfu over northland for the folowing reasons:


1. Chongfu is stronger in Chinese and I believe most good student can score well in Maths and Science but it is the languages that give the ace student the edge over the rest. Students who does well in their languages, especially Chinese, tends to do better in terms of score.

2. Chongfu school's physical environment is better. I have visited both school during the PV meet up and I find the physical environment of Chongfu much better than Northland. Chongfu appears to be bright and airy while Northland has more dark corners.

3. Chongfu has good results in their table tennis team. Dun underestimate the possibiity of DSA , had a colleague whose daughter is good in table tennis....DSA to Nanyang Girls...

4. Well this is bias but I dun like the Northland teacher (yah just that one teacher) that we met during the PV session...so stuck up...whereas Chongfu...the principal was there too...they areso sincere....

So for now....Chong fu is a clear choice...will only change if SNGS select us for PV.....

I have 2 girls (twins born in 2005). Currently, we are evaulating our options for Primary school.


We have already confirmed the distance from SLA website.
Chongfu - 1~2km
Northland - 1~2km (from my parent’s place)

I’m actually very keen in CF as I feel that the chinese tradition is important. But Northland is also not bad as well.

2 things I’m concerned about:
1) Can i apply PV for the 2 schools?
1) When should I join PV?
2) Does my twins actually stand a better chance when it comes to ballot?

1) Yes.
2) Now. Last closing date is mid 2010 but some schools start early.
3) Twins count as one chance, either both get in or both don't.

Hello all,


Chongfu just called me up to say that I qualify for Phase 2B registration and to go for Jul 21 registration. However I live more than 2km so will require balloting Balloting date this year will be on Jul 24 2pm. Not sure what's my probability but if dont try, chance is zero right? If I am successful, I will open a new thread Chongfu 2009 Cohort to share my kid's Chongfu experience as well as parents' networking from the same kid age group !

Wish me luck !!

...Wish me luck !!

Good luck radiantmum! At least you get a chance to ballot in Phase 2B. Not many get that chance if they are staying beyond 2km of the school for Phase 2B.
