Dear all,


Hope to hear from your view:

I am staying near Jurong,

1.\tP2A2 – South View Primary school SV
2.\tP2B - Nam Hua Primary NH
3.\tP2B - Jurong Primary JP

I am assuming that NH is out for me which is my preferred school.

Based on distance travel:

1.\tSV is very far from my house, may take 25min to travel on car. Bus – maybe 1/2hr to 45mins. Impression OK during the open house.

2.\tJP takes about 5-10min to reach by car. Done PV, but I dun have very good impression about the teachers.

Which would you choose?

thks

Hi Hot,

Would you please elaborate on why you do not have very good impression about the teachers? I am registering Jurong Primary School under 2A2 but I know nothing about the school. Thanks very much.

Hi 2A2 means you or your hb was former students there..

I will be registering my ds there under 2A2 too.

It is a popular school.. as what others had mentioned.. but yes.. you have to consider the logistic issue too...

You also stand a higher chance to register under JP since you have done PV... and is much nearer...

Think about it..

Hi dankhim and mummy of 3,


My heart goes for NH, as its single session and in-house student care, shorter travel distance plus near my sis’s home who can also assist. This is my main reason for NH
I will still monitor NH for sure.

My plan is to register at SV first, then monitor NH and JP. But I really feel chill and not sure have guts to go thru balloting at NH.

I do have plan to shift near SV if I landed there eventually.
Question keep pondering me is, is SV the better choice compared to JP? Cos moving house for the purpose of being nearer to school is a big event though.

I have been trying to think of the pros and cons btw SV and JP:

SV –
far + double sessions + many school works + single session on 2016.
I wrote to MOE minister requesting for early single session – no news .
Although is not as far as <10km la…but considering have to get up in very early – no joke man.

JP – near + + double sessions + many school works + single session on 2016

If SV is operating in single session, I have no doubt about my choice of school btw SV and JP. Cos single session, I can better monitor my boy’s movement in term of safety.

My BIL said his neighbour’s son in JP, did very well in school but scored around 200 at PSLE. Does it give you any hint? My take is… sick? Nervous? Or … etc.

Hi alng,

I dun feel right to talk about the school here. In general, some teachers are quite lazy, bo-chiap attitude. I managed to talk to one of their staff during my PV, he was franked and agreed with me. However, I am still considering this school as I believe there are still many good teachers there. I went for their school sport event, saw some teachers were very involved with her team, cheered hard and very supportive. some even engrossed in their marking of schoolwork with crowds around them. They have very good horticulture teacher

So its still up to you to decide.

Thanks Hot for sharing. It is inevitable to have some good and some not so good teachers in every school, including elite schools. What is more important is the school culture, the beliefs and directions of the leaders (P and VP, etc) and the support from the school's other stakeholders.
