To some parents, they devoted more time to help their children to cope with the upcoming sch life instead of struggling about fighting for PV etc. Like my neighbour's DD, really a good boy, very Guai and like to read or study. He is in boon lay garden pri sch, and happy about that. while my girl, the totally different type, need to be pushed a lot to 写字 :oops:

nolah, doesn't mean devote time for PV then can't devote time to help them prepare for P1 mah

actually can be quite the opposite due to the kiasu-drive

sometimes, we also got to consider if a specific school is ideal for the character of our child..

bingjun.g:

will definitely wait for the results for PV of RL, see how. if not get, also feel relieved, not my problem liao mah, exempted from struggling-for-RL then

at least, I've not heard that not enough jobs for PVs in RL and don't need to fight for jobs one..

bingjun.g:

if RL restrict the PV number further down, the competition will be even tough liao, now already 300+ applicants?

300+??! :faint:

[bingjun.038257g]

How do u know which sch fit for our child leh? The top sch shd hv much more pressure for the child, my girl is kind of shy and doing thing slow, maybe not fit her. hehe, actually she likes to play only~


Heard from the vice P of RL during the PV interview, said the applicant should be over 300+? I am the 270+


Nowadays it is more and more tough to be parents :stupid: struggling to get PV, at least 40 precious hours, work with and support and love our child thru the sch years... :scared:

Rulang, Shuqun and West Grove are already balloting. No point wasting time. I am worried because I was banking on Frontier Pri. The school filled 227 out of 235. They will go balloting tomorrow. Grief!

[Willow]

yeah…i got a shock too…the new school was one of my backup plan…didnt realise it is going to be so popular…

[ish]

I am shocked to see 227 registrations for Frontier today. Is this a record high for single day registration?

- under P2C, West Grove is dark horse, overtake Shuqun & Rulang.

- Frontier is shocking !
almost the entire school been taken up, left only 8 vacancies.

if Frontier parents can unite together in soul and spirit, form a powerful force in unity and forceful strength, write a letter to appeal to MOE to replicate the best teaching practises from Rulang, the best teaching methodology, the best teaching curriculum from Rulang, take whatever ‘goodies’ from Rulang, get HODs from Rulang to handhold new teachers in Frontier for a period of time, ie. dun waste time re-invent the wheel all over again … then i believe one day, Frontier has a great potential to become Rulang (II) campus.


then if can’t get into Rulang, never mind … still got Frontier.

[phtthp]

better still … if Frontier Principal can form a curriculum committe to look into & examine very closely and adopt not just the best practises from Rulang, but also to consider and evaluate carefully the best practises coming from Nanyang, RGPS, etc. then Frontier one day may even overtake Rulang’s academic standing. ie. get the best out of the best !

Not sure of West Grove's stats shown here. I've applied today for my daughter. I was there around 10:30AM and my application no was 295. There were about 20-30 people already in queue behind me.

Hi,


Yah, I was really impressed with Frontier’s enrolment rate! Can’t be the school staff sotong, keyed in 227 applicants instead of vacancies right?

What’s the selling point of this school? Did MOE send a solid team of teaching staff there to kickstart the school?
