Hi mummies,


Just wanna do a check if anyone would be registering their kid at guangyang pri for 2012? Its coming back to a brand new premise and i wonder if that would be a plus for them.

Hi mummygina, the fact that my son returns home everyday with stories to tell and looking forward to school is a good indication that the school is doing something right. In terms of learning and teaching it really depend on the teachers and not the school. The profile of students in both msh and chs is about the same, I feel. And both are offering hmt.

mummygina:

Thanks bigfoot and Grandmaster. Going by statistics alone, MS wins.

Bigfoot, what do you like most about MS? Do share. Thanks!

A new school building would definately be a plus for guangyang pri due to the improved learning environment and facilities. Sometimes the environment does count for the kids as this will live in their memory forever. Have the impression they are on the rise. Of course for top academy concern they can't match CH in the community. Sometimes you just have to weight your priority.

Thanks for your sharing Bigfoot. I think it's also a testament to u and your son's caregivers that he enjoys school

I am considering between AT (<1km) and KCPPS (>2km) for phase 2B. Last yr for AT, <1km also needed to ballot compared to all those in 2B for KCPPS got in. AT is really ideal for us as it is walking distance. Shall I try for AT if applicants exceed places or go for the sure win KCPPS?

You should wait till Phase 2B to make the decision. See the number of applicants at AT exceed by how many places and whether you should take the gamble. Staying within walking distance of a school is really great advantage.

Thanks Zeemimi. I was quite confident of getting in as from 2006 to 2009, all <1km 2B got in but then last year had to ballot. Now v scared. Wondering if we should still take the risk even if know have to ballot cos a Spore citizens, we have 2 chances.
