[Jurong West] Primary Schools

[ish]

Hi all,


I’m deciding whether to go for Jurong Pri or Frontier Pri. Any advice?

Thanks!

[Dec]

Thanks for the info:)

I’m thinking of West Grove Pri, it is very near to my house.
What do you think of the school ‘standard’ ?
It seems to be a very popular school at my side! It is popular because of their good academic or new family staying nearby?

I meant a lot of new family staying nearby the school:)

Dec:

Just check what is the difference between the new school and the established school? What is the Risk??

Hi Dec,

I agreed with Kabby reply on the risk involved.

Just to share my 20 cent worth

1) CCA not confirmed yet. What happen if your child like none of the offered CCA
2) Outsourced after school care - not too sure is this a good thing. i look at it like HDB's DBSS scheme. Bell and whistle with a permium
3) New means experiment, Will the 1st batch be guiena pig i.e what was taught in 2012 for P1 will be diffient from P1 for 2013 onwards.

on the flip side
1) The Principal is able to assemble his own All Star Cast rather that teacher being assigned by MOE. I think this is encouraging.
2) The PSLE result for the 1st batch will be the report card for this school. I hope extra effort will be put in to make the 1st batch a success.

Cheers

It depends on your home distance to school and which phase of registration do you fall under

for Phase 2B & 2C and within 1 KM,I place my bet on JPS and let nature take its course.

other then that, forget about JPS

ya superdat, CCA is another concern. thanks for pointing that out. i need to make a proper list cos i keep forgetting some point now and again.


thanks RRmummy! you're so funny, you made me laugh.

Champion, may i know what makes you choose CPS ?

Hi LKVM, it’s Jurong Primary at jurong east.


Hi superdat, for JPS, its phase 2A2. but the school is further away from my place. Frontier Primary is very very near my place, I’m not a grassroots member, so phase 2C. And I know friends wanting to enroll their kids at frontier primary too.

Still can’t decide…
