Choosing and Evaluating Primary Schools
-
jedamum:
I realised our bus route is not very efficient. I'm eyeing a school just outside 2km. Merely 15 minutes drive.Distance is not an issue if you intend to engage school bus service.
but what others said about CCAs and occasions when buses are not available, that will be a headache.
ds1 is in a school 1-2km from home:
But by public trsansport, I will need to transfer 2 buses & the bus detour around housing estates, plus waiting time, easily took an hour to reach!
Even school bus is not a good solution. Ours will be the last few stops after dropping off everyone else. School bus journey is at least 40 to 45 minutes -
I intend to register my gal for 2013 P1 with NanHua and we stay at yew tee. I just called the bus company to find out the timing of picking up and alighting. Pick up at around 6am, alight at around 2pm+. Now I am not sure if I should just let my gal go to a school which is nearby our place or still go Nanhua as we are phase 2A2 eligible. :slapshead:

Afiqa.z recent post provides real life experience of what the child would have undergone, and it ain't going to get better as there will be more after school commitments.
You have around 2 years to \"do something\" ie P2B near your house or move nearer to NH. Ultimately decision time is in June/July 2013. -

even with the short drive to school, sometimes we prefer to leave home a bit earlier because when parents start arriving nearer to assembly time, the single lane road will get jam. -

If you are going to stay at Yew Tee, it's not wise to send your kid to Nan Hua. The travelling alone (whether by bus or car) kills.
why don't you explore Chongfu? -

Chongfu??! That's in Yishun :faint:sunny:

Hi parents… Need enlightenment for this confusing parent, We didn’t manage to get into Kong Hwa phase 2B within 1km, now I’m considering whether to continue the stressful balloting of phase 2C in Kong Hwa or look into Tanjong Katong Primary which I will be in 1-2km distance… My son loves sports and music and my concern is that if I send him to a stressful environment like Kong Hwa it might backfires and he may not like school ( he learns better from play or outside classroom environment )… What will u do if u will me and why ?
