[Jurong West] Primary Schools

[Champion]

Hello All,

I \"interrupt\" here to pose the following question cos don't know where else can I do that lah

Do you feel that schools around JW areas are not quite accessible via the public transport (and here I am referring to SBS Buses and not taxis )

Example 1: If you are staying near Pioneer Mall and your child is studying at Xingnan Pri, how did you go to the school?

Example 2: If you are staying opposite Pioneer Mall (Blk 71+ series to 735), how do you get to Corporation Primary School?

Example 3: If you are staying at JW Central 1 (Blk 68+ series to 69+ series), how did you go to Jurong West Primary School?

The above are just a few examples as I have friends who are not driving (just like me :lol: ) or who are SAHM who need to send/fetch kids to school. Whenever there is a need to be at school (for eg Parent-Teacher-Meet), they will always say,\" so troublesome to change bus, so have to take taxi lor!\" :laugh:

. 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.

hihi :hugs:
you have a point there... ds1's books are quite worn. but i still kept last yr's. he doesn't write notes lei... his uniform may be able to be passed down too but certainly not shoes! his shoes get worn out every 6mth! so black and dirty too. :frustrated:

very true... maybe can feedback to MP, see if can get sth done? my place to ds1 sch no direct bus that stops right at gate but must take 157 from interchange, 4 bus stops, then have to walk in. quite troublesome indeed.

actually nearest to my place would be Frontier then JWPS but i don't like the stress of balloting, and don't want to do PV so JWPS is out of the Q.

nearest to you and lkvm would be West Grove, is it?

My DD’s kindergarten is Ichiban childcare at Yunnan cresent( recently change to childcare).
Since you are doing PV so your chances will be higher compare to other:)

I am staying >1km from West Grove but afraid not able to get in under 2C if there is balloting…Frontier Pri will be further from my house and there is no direct bus to the school.
I’m considering between West Grove and Frontier!
West Grove already has the ‘standard’ there and is nearer to my house. (need to ballot)
Frontier is a new school which has a better facilities and environment but don’t know how is the ‘standard’. (no balloting).

Any feedback about West Grove facilities and environment? I have called them to check whether they have any open house but the lady sound not so friendly and said NO. Maybe they are a ‘popular’ school that why a bit papaya…he!he!

not many schs having open house is it? so far, i’ve only received xingnan’s. feel like going for open house just to take a look even though most prob not choosing, too far. from their brochure, it does look attractive.

Hi mummies,


How come there’s a 2B phase for Frontier Primary?

Isn’t it for parents who have done PV?
