Have a backup plan, nevertheless.

Same here! :? :? Very much wanted to try Nan chiau but chances are very slim........ my next choice will be Compassvale as it's walking distant for my boy.

i was told nan chiau don't entertain requests for a 'tour'. :scratchhead:


i am concerned about the school's general teaching environment.. how's the tolerance for children who don't conform, or even deem as naughty?

anyone in the school can advise?

when u have such a good enrollement and every parents of sengkang drooling to put their ds/dd into this school. i do not think the principal give a damn about orientation, open house, tour or whatsoever.

but i wonder how true. i heard that the school only prioritise their attention on the top 3 classess of each grade. it appear that they are investing their main resource on the best student rather than the weak one...probably they have to maintain their reputation of churning out good students. As compare to a new school which place emphasis on the general well being of all to make sure they achieve a high percentage of passing psle.

Any parents going for Compassvale Pri?

[sushigal]

Compassvale and North Spring are good school. Gals are now in North Spring. I like the way the new principal runs the programmes.


Please don’t ever go to North Vista. Got gals out from there.

Compassvale students are rather polite. These are the older school with experience teachers.

Thanks Sushigal for the feedback

Will be going for Compassvale as it is within walking distance for us.

yes, that's what we thought too.. snob culture of those in high demand...
with over 40% already placed at this stage, i think the chances of getting in is even lower.
