I got into Keming but I am not so happy because I wanted my girl to get into a girls school...Is Keming really good?

Congrats!

I believe all schools are good. It all depends on what you are looking for.
For KeMing, the academic focus is pretty strong. In a way, your gal will be 'well prepared'. Whatever it is, it's great that your gal is in there now. If I haven't moved, I would be applying for KeMing too. I used to live just across the road. Hated the morning assembly then

Thanks for the info...I guess I have to accept it! Will take time though. Glad to hear that the academic focus is strong. The admin staff and teachers were actually nice during the 1 hour that I was there...

I understand what you mean. I'm also planning to put my son on wait lists for other schools. Will see how things go.

Look on the brighter side, at least the schools we registered for are nearby. That's a plus.

Bukit Timah Primary School. That's the only school we stand a chance without any stress. :lol: Looking for a boys' school for him too.

The nearest school we qualified for <1km is CHIJ (Our Lady of Queen Peace). Guess that's where we'll register our gal 2 years from now.

Good that you are within 1km for CHIJ. As for Bukit Timah, my nephew and niece are there.

Er, so which school will your gal be going? Keming?

BTPS will be single session next year too. Unfortunately, they have still yet to decide on the school hours.

The only grouse I have with the school is they took Robotics and Chess off their CCA list. I was hoping to save some $$$ by letting my son join them as CCAs. Now, got to fork out money from my own pocket :moneyflies:
