Thanks, Jtoh.


Care to share what are the things to look out for during the touring in the open house?

So for the girls, can start off at Nanyang at 8am, followed by RGS, grab a quick lunch, then off to MGS/SCGS.

But I say it's better to just choose 2 schools and cover those two schools properly in terms of going for the talks, touring the school and chatting with the students/teachers.

I would attend the Principal's talk and some of the other talks to get a sense of the school's ethos, philosophy etc. Then go visit the exhibitions, booths which are manned by students. Talk to the students and the teachers to get a sense of the school culture. Do you and your child get a positive vibe from the school? Is this where you would want your child to spend the next important 4 years of his/her school life? Take a look at the school's facilities and CCA offerings.


Which schools are you eyeing?

Hi Vanilla,

Hello jtoh,


Hi jtoh,

Sorri, I din know that your children are already in secondary school.Did they go through via dsa? Personally I would think gep students stand a better chance than mainstream.Thus, not very hopeful using dsa as a means to go into a dream school.
