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?

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.

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:

So, to save \"future\" problems, I am \"dumping\" DD2 together with DD1 next year to the same school - One Bird Kills 2 Stones - Get Jie Jie to \"look out\" for Mei Mei :snuggles:

To be frank, have the same thinking like you since last year too :evil:....but...but...whenever I recall the :scared: moment sitting in the hall, waiting for the balloting result, my body still shivers! SO, finally decided drop the idea 死心吧! :laugh: and can :siam: the waiting anxious moment :stompfeet: :slapshead: :stupid: ....

ya i’m thinking along same lines, that’s why very torn.

i’ll probably sit down and list all the pros and cons then see how? also discussing with Dh…

I think Frontier is single session, so should be similar timing as CPS, but the PTM and other activities could clash.

the other advantage for siblings to be in the same school is that big brother can pass down many things to 2nd one, save a lot…

grrr, still mulling over it.
one impt Q would be CCAs too. i am concerned that for a new sch, since low no. of pupils, and less teachers initially, the CCAs offered may be very limited and may be ds2 won’t like any of them?

Hello Friend :hi5:,
Pass down? Haha...for my case, all my DD1's P1 & P2 textbooks have already been donated out every year . And the other reason I did not keep the books is because DD1 has written down many notes on them so I feel \"not fair\" for DD2 to use hands-down and DD2 might take the \"short-cut\", take Jie Jie's written answer and presume she herself already knows the work (My DD2 is a very cheeky type :evil: ) ...That is my own view and approach for my kids.

LKVM:

yeah thats why me too taking the view though its little early for DS2 but still must think before do anything lor

Hi, your DS2 born Y2008 rite? My No. 3, DS Y2009 so maybe nearer that year, we will be sharing & talking on this topic again :rotflmao: :rotflmao: ....
