Why is First Toa Payoh Primary School not hot at all? Besides the PSLE results, what is it about the school that parents don't like? :?

I don't stay in Toa Payoh. That's why I can't \"see\" the difference. Care to share?

Hi

I am rather surprised by the low no. of applications for Marymount Convent. Does anyone know what;s the reason for that? Principal issue? Lousy teachers?

Anyone has an idea of North Vista Primary and the Reggio-Emilia approach that it adopts?

I asked a couple of mothers who stay in my estate, abt Marymount Convent (their daughters are there). So far the girls are happy and the mothers have no complains too. I think the sch location is not too convenient for most ppl, hence the low application.

As for myself, I went for CHIJ TPY because of the secondary sch affiliation. I balloted and got a place today. If I didn't, I will be happy to send my girl to Marymount otherwise.

I agreed with dun wanna stress out (wow!)…Marymount Convent is a good sch (my fren’s dotter is in it), but it 's rather an inconvenient place, that’s why the take up rate quite low i guess…nearby MRT would be Marymount MRT.

but you can actually tell them your "foster parents" have all along been taking care of your child right? i meant how would they know if they are not the one taking care of your child in the past? sometimes a bit of white lie do help and is understandable right? they won’t go and check on your past right?
