[Bishan] Primary Schools

[meiah]

By that time, then see how. Most likely IJ, if not probably Marymount or Canossa Convent. Or else maybe get MIL to go MOE to "soompah" and try for St Marg’s.


But anyway, 95% should be girl’s sch.

Always got stupid plan in my head.

Normal route:
Plan A: IJ tpy. Fail, try Pei Chun. Fail, go Canossa Convent

Make Statutory declaration route:
Plan B: IJ OLGS, Watch St Marg’s. If got space, register, if not, stay at OLGC.

Plan Go back to alma mater, but in Tampines!! Too far.

Anyway, if you or your dh is ex-pupil of a primary school, you will get priority registration. No need to ballot typically.

Thanks meiah!!!


Sorry was busy to check, child sick.

huh... But all your choices like a tad far from you hor??

[meiah]

Hope your kid is ok now.


No lah, maybe only 3 schs far. The rest are ok. Anyway, dd is in N1 now and is already taking sch bus from tpy to potong pasir and back, so travelling is ok lah. She’s such a great time manager by the way. She’s sleeps on the sch bus for her beauty sleep! Once reach home, then play like mad!!

Guess what? I just picked up the phone and called Guangyang Primary. The school confirmed coming back in Dec 2011, will operate at Bishan in Jan 2012. Also made appointment to "visit" the school. First time of my life doing this, gosh! I have never imagined myself doing this for my dd.

[joyfulsally]

So how did you find Guangyang Primary? Personally since my son is there, I find the teachers very warm and friendly. My son loves going to school and is happy. I hope you will like the school too. The new building is on the way up and looking grand. Heard there will be lots of facilities too.

Meiah, your dd sleeps on her way back!! Wont she feel grouchy when bus reaches home and had wake her up to alight? Awesome leh!!


Oh, btw, i passed by Ai Tong the other day, the kids were rowdy! And i was shocked to see them climbing up the slope that was beside the school that was in front of a road!! Nearly fainted! It was so dangerous!

I am now in the mist of visiting schools. Sigh…

Joyful Sally, What are some of the facilities that the new school (gyps) will be having?

[meiah]

No lah, she auto wakes up when the bus rounds the bend to my block.


Generally, most pupils are alright. Though there are always rowdy ones in any school. Pupils profile these days are way diffferent from our time. My 2 ds goes to CHS. Rowdy? Sure. Fun? Sure too. Kenna stressed? Definitely.

You can register for Bishan schools but you will be in Phase 2C.

For Bishan St 12, the nearer schools are Kuo Chuan Presbyterian and Guangyang. You should not need to ballot for either school, being within 1km of both. But Guangyang is now operating at AMK St 23, while their Bishan St 12 site is being rebuilt. According to GY website, the new school will be ready next year...hopefully there's no delay.

As for KCPPS, heard that they will be moving away in the near future so that their current school can be upgraded. Not sure when though.

Heard KCPPS will be moving away to AMK St 23, but probably only for upper pri pupils, cos AMK St 23 buildings may not be able to accomodate so many pupils.
