Hi, My DD is in P1 now. Thanks for your reply. Shall monitor and decide later.

The other thing is your DD may love her current school and friends so much that she will not want to change.

Hi puff, FPS kept each class at 30 max as indicated during the soft opening.

Wow that is a v attractive point compare to most of the popular schs that have class size close to 40

Agree. She is quite reluctant to change but after I show the pic of FPS she said she will consider. Just monitor and see.

Typically all schools do that.

Upper levels P3 and above would be 30-40.

Only P1 and P2 30 max.

But ds1's P1 class had 24 or 26 at start of yr that time. Not sure exact no. I know cos his register no. always at the end, and then later in the yr some more transfer in, then his register no. change. So end of P1 he had about 28.

His school is a neighborhood one so didn't reach max of 30 in each class.

Hope in future even upper levels can have less students so each one will have more attention from the teacher.

Sorry. I think it is. Is Rulang that good a school worth travelling so much for?

If it's NYPS I can understand as it is very coveted but Rulang?

Hi apple79,

IMHO, unless you have the intention to move back to Jurong West area, the travelling required is really too far. There are a couple of days in a week when the P1s need to be in school by 950am. So they will be in school for very long hours. With so much travelling and having to wake up early, I think it can be really exhausting for the little ones..

JMHO...
