It is a blank slate, so it has the potential to become very good or slide... It would depend a lot on the P's vision and her team, I think.

Hence, I would need quite a bit of info before I decide. Like, who will be the P, how many classes are they opening, how many levels and how many teachers. Would they have enough teachers?

According to MOE,
the P is usually appointed in Dec. :shock:
The school will commence operation with P1 classes only.
Opening of P2 and above classes will depend on demand and resources.
Interested parents can approach the sch (when functioning) to put child's name on waiting list for sch to gauge demand.

I think the P and VP should be known already? Cos they'd have to put together the team and they would be putting out fliers and advertising soon. They won't have a Phase 1 for P1 Registration definitely. No Phase 2A also? But I think they'd have to put out their publicity and the info for parents before Phase 2B at the least, otherwise they won't get their students?

I heard that they'd release more info to all parents at a soft launch later on, and they would let the community around here know abt it. I'd definitely go and attend to know more.

One fun thing about new schools is the uniform. Usually they look good and are more contemporary/ modern?

I'm curious about the uniform too!
Now, I wonder what will be the new school's name?
Hopefully, something hip! :lol:

So you will be registering your dd/ ds?

If not, probably more for my dd2, 3 yo.

Hi all,


There will be a new primary school at
Jurong West Junction of Jurong West St 61 and 63
(Next to blocks 656B and 658C), near Pioneer MRT.
It will commence its operation on Jan 2012
for primary one pupils.

How do fellow parents feel abt a NEW primary school?
Will you send ur child there?

I am wondering what school that is.
It is actually in my consideration bcos it is near to my home.
Hb likes the feel of new schools. Haha.[/quot


I'm considering too. Brand new facilities. I heard rumors that student from Jurong west primary will either split or move into this new School while they are renovation their own premises. I welcome the idea and hope both my girls will be in this very very near to home new school.

Hi Marilyn_28,


Thanks!
I sure like the name 'Frontier Pri Sch', sounds more hip! :lol:

It will be good if MOE can start collect responses from interested parents for the other levels soon!

Hi Judy,
This will be good news for me cos probability of opening other levels in 2012 will be higher! :celebrate:

I heard from a friend about this. Any parents can comment?

Personally I’m quite shocked to hear this. If memorise cheng2 yu3 or vocabulary, it’s ok. But to memorise essays, that’s stiffling creativity development in the child. What will come out of this kind of education is a child who is superb in memorising, but lack creativity.
any one knows if shu qun does this?

We let us know how it went

Dear all,
I am very keen to transfer DS to this new school due to the distance.
Pls keep me posted.
Thanks inadvance.

Don’t be suprised that Boon Lay Garden primary school might closed down and I’m afraid that all the students will transfer to this new primary school eventually, I think it might happen 换汤不换药, this been happening many schools in Jurong area. Close down to make way for condo developement? Possible!
