[Ang Mo Kio] Primary Schools

Fabbymum:

Hey tigger88, dun envy us...we went through many tough times doing volunteering, school hunting, house hunting, balloting for parent volunteer, joining RC, etc - hard work for 2 years before deciding for APS! I know it is the only school that offers IMAS2 program where students in P2 are selected to undergo some kind of talent development program for the next 4 years. Also, last year's PSLE top score was 272 and I like their approach which is more balanced between the Western and Eastern culture. My hubby and me also like the school uniform and my son? He likes the name Anderson because he relates it to Andersen Icecream!! :rotflmao:

Hey Fabbymum, do you mean that you went through all those PV, RC etc for other schs before deciding on APS? Wow, really put in a lot of effort.

After I shifted, I contacted APS for PV but was told it's already full (but I still went ahead to sign up for PV for my 2nd kid). Tried RC route too but was told that I have to join at least one year...too late for us. So no choice, gotta pray hard for P2C.

Ya. #1 is P4 in North Vista prim. At that time didnt know i qualify for Anderson 2A2. So, after failing ballot for Roysth, we had to find another school. North Vista just started so decided to give it a try. Regret, so not putting my others in. High expenses… and dont really like their method… but since she’s there for 4 yrs… let it be, cos dont how change of environment will affect her.


This yr my boy register SJIJ, hubby ex-boy.

Next year youngest gal’s turn.

I’m 1 crazy mom.

I’ve not planned logistics yet. But i suppose my boy will go by school bus cos SJIJ going single session next year. North vista only starts school @ 8am. Then will hv to see if Anderson changing to single session in 2013 or not.


Worry abt that when the time comes i suppose.

Me too. Registered my DS under P2A2 at APS. Surprised by the high take-up rate at P2.
