I checked out the FB page and website links already, seems like not yet ready. If any parents are able to access, update us?

They say "end May", "early June", so could be slightly later, I guess. Though I don’t see why they gave out the brochures but the sites are not ready, hmmm

Thks for the info!!! :rahrah:

you're welcome yerdua.

i'll be at the launch for sure, need to ask several Qs. cos in quite a dilemma now. whether to let ds2 go there or not. he doesn't want to, wants to follow elder bro.
where's your kid now? you mentioned may transfer cos it's near right? but does your child want to? tat's the tough part for me, trying to convince ds2. ds1 won't be transferring cos he loves his school too much and he's doing well, so it would not be meaningful to transfer, but i was thinking the distance of the new sch is so much nearer, very torn.
plus who can resist something new?

Hi,

I also received the frontier primary school brochure yesterday!
It’s seem like the school has a better facilities and environment from what I have read from it!
Now I’m considering between West Grove pri and Frontier Pri…

West grove is nearer to my house but i might have to ballot >1km under 2C
Frontier will be under 2B.

Hi Dec, where do you get the Frontier Primary School brochure from? I only get Xingnan Primary School brochure & Open House Invitation letter through my DD's Kindergarten.

I got both Xingnan Pri sch and Frontier Pri sch brochures from my DD’s kindergarten.
So are you going to Xingnan pri sch Open house?
Which school are you aiming?

[Kabby]

hi marilyn,

i got the brochure through ds2's school too. Xingnan as well. i've typed out most of the info already (for Frontier). now just waiting for their FB page and website to be up, then we can have a look at their other facts.

LKVM:

What kind of issues one can forsee for 2 siblings going to different school?

1) 2 different sessions especially if the school is dual session and usually P1 will be in the afternoon.

2) Run 2 different schools when come to attend school activities Parents-Teacher-Meeting (P.T.M.)

Above just my 2 cents worth of thought :imcool:
