[jeanieg]

Alkanet:

CHIJ has 12 seats left over stage 2B.


I don't think they're going to hv an open house...

Looks like me and some of the mommies who live >2km away have a good chance to get our gals in! :xedfingers: hope so...!

Just came back from Beacon’s Pri Open Hse this evening… Had an interesting discussion with the educators & was pretty satisfied with the school’s facilities. Observation made: Funding for the IT-related infrastructure for the school must be way above the rest of the budget of other schs in the area…

I went to Beacon Pri School Open hse too. I'm impress with the way they do the open house. It's really systematic, organize & effective. It looks like they've planned it very well ahead. And I'm under impression that's the way they do their operational too. :)))


Facilities is definetely their strong point. IT based - future school it is. :)))

Absolutely agree, regarding the budget.

Hi I was there too. Can't make a comparison because haven't gone to other primary school open house before. We like the IT facilities too and the school compound looks very spacious. DD was very excited throughout the guided tour and couldn't contain her smiles while sitting in the classroom during the demo on the classroom teaching tools. Believe she will be able to transit to P1 easily much much better than her mommy did donkey yrs ago :rahrah:

So you confirm applying f/ this school? I think can register online too. :)))
Are within 1 - 2 km?

Another thing to think about is... because this school is really new.. we haven't see their result yet... So for me, though I'm impress w/ Beacon, I still go to the old school that has been established for quite awhile. They hv more experience and we can see the result already... imho. 

Alkanet, eh I’m actually 1 year away from p1 registration. Doing PV there so brought DH and DD to have a feel of the school. Our options are open, at least this gives me a mostly guaranteed place in phase 2b then see how situation is like at phase 2c next year. Understand your concern about school having no past track record. So you will most likely go for which school?

i was at Zhenghua's and Greenridge's open house. I wanted to go to Beacon's but couldn't find babysitter for my 2 year old.


Do you think BPPS will allow parents to schedule a visit to the school? Just to walk around and have a feel (and see how the students carry themselves) of the school?
