[Marine Parade] Primary Schools

[Augtsh]

Here’s a piece of information for the parents of all P1-going children next year after a visit to my elder child’s pediatrician this morning. There are some recent changes to the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule, with the latest stating the need for children ages 6-7 to be given a) Oral Sabin - 2nd booster, and b) MMR - Booster (2nd dose). As I was advised, both vaccines will be given at Primary 1 by MOH in school at no charge. So parents, there’s no need to waste money on them as part of the P1 prep.

yeoh_tt, dun give up! I will enrolling my boy in 3yrs time under 2B <1km and I alrdy feel the heat now! Gosh. But if I were in ur shoes, I will def continue in 2C TNS. I’m prepared if really cannot get a place in TNS, any school nearby MOE posts my boy to, I will be ok. My pt is all schs in the east cannot be that bad. Ultimately it is still us parents putting in the effort to give our children an all-rounded education.

And TNS for me is really for convenience too, as it’s a 5min walk. Any other sch, even ngee Ann would require sch bus alrdy, if u get what I mean. Good luck!!

Actually, does anyone know if unsuccessful in 2B, and continue to 2C, will we have priority over those who just registered in 2C? And does distance still play a part in 2C? Tks

Hi Pumpkin Pie,

No priority. Everyone starts fresh. Distance still plays a part.

Hi pumpkin pie. You need to start working the ground in order to secure a phase 2B recommendation in 3 years time if thats your intent. What's your plan? PV, Clan or Grassroot work? Have fun.

Hi Augtsh, actually Im not sure what else should I be doing to increase my chances. My hubs is a member of SHHK, so going by that route, though I know that doesnt guarantee us a recommendation letter. Lately I heard getting tougher and tougher. Do you know what is the \"criteria\" to get the letter?

Your child in TNS now? How's the school system and teachers? Hope not too stressful. Is TNS going to change to single session soon?
