Hi, thought of register my son at Montfort Junior but not sure how is the school. Just heard some bad comments from my neighbour, just worry if I put him there. Can anyone give some comments if you have children study there.

Hi Antchin!


I am also thinking of Montfort for my son. I can’t seem to get much information on the school. Tried calling the school for a school visit and meet the principal but the school is closed to visitors due to H1N1. Would appreciate it if you would please share whatever information you have on this school. Thanks!

Hi,


I am staying in Hougang. I will be doing registration for my boy in 2010. I understand the PV application has been closed for most schools by now.

So looking at this year figures, Holy Innocent Primary and Xin Min Primary sure have balloting for Phase 2C.

Just want to check with you all - For Holy Innocent Primary , is it not advisable to put my boy there if my boy is just average in his Kindergarden ?

Any parents have comments on Punggol Primary ?

Hi,

I personally think it's too early to judge a kids ability at K2. Wanted to share that my son used to be a big challenge during K2. Cannot really read, cannot remember spelling, cannot recognise chinese words,etc... The thot of him gg to P1 is a nitemare. I set a objective that if he does not get call up for learning support or extra tuition in school, I am happy.

Probably he becomes more mature in P1 this year, he is coping fine in school. He scored band 1 results for all his subjects during SA1 in a SAP school. Also, we know that he feels proud when he does well so he is sort of more self-motivated now.

I have faith that if we give them consistent support at home, the children will not do too badly. So I don't think being an average child does not mean your son should not try for HIPS if there is a good chance.

Thanks a lot for the advise. maybe i scared myself too much.
