LKVM:

I am thinking I hope they have registered for the correct school... cause if I am not wrong the registration for Frontier is done in the West Grove and I hope parents didnt get confused?(just joking)

Else its too difficult to think when all the other schools have seats Frontier is almost full... its kinda scary??
So either the last day there will be too much of withdrawl or changes...

:yikes: :faint:

LKVM:

Thats an excellent news.. finally gahman heard us and Jurong having more schools.. I just hope they dont cut the seats from the current one to fill the new ones like this time

Yes, I was shocked to see the registration updates for Frontier Pri on the website! :yikes:

:xedfingers: for my DD2's classmates registering there as they fall under the 1-2km category so a bit dangerous...

How do u know which sch fit for our child leh?

Your answers are all in KSP

Seriously, there are alot of sharings in KSP on the schools and you can also chat up with parents in the specific school network. It helps you form a better idea of the school's way of doing things, whether it is very on or kinda nuah, whether it is very academically oriented, holistic, etc etc...if you have a general idea that it is a pressure cooker and you are very sure that your child will not thrive in that kinda of environment then you know which school to avoid

bingjun.g:

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~

Yeah, I think you assumption is generally true. I've seem shy girls blossom in the right environment so fret not :boogie: My girl still loves to play too...

bingjun.g:

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:

Yup, we are more involved as compared to parents of previous generations..
at times it can be :frustrated: and :slapshead: and :rant:
and sometimes feel like :imdrowning: and :lightrod:
but don't forget those times when they are :imanangel: and and :imcool: and
that makes everthing all worth while. :love:


Look at it this way, with PV you get to know the school better before you finally take the plunge to put your kids there. So by the time your kids are there you know the culture and teachers there a little better

:celebrate:

I was told that if we are within 1km of Frontier, the place should be confirmed. Keeping fingers crossed! Anyway, I am excited and I really hope I don't have to ballot.

Good luck hyundai9! :xedfingers:

Anyone knows whether Frontier got PV for next yr registration? not heard, right?

I doubt so. Since the teachers are not there yeat and the school premise is not fully constructed yet, the first batch of PV would most likely be for 2013 instead. JMHO

i am really curious at how many of the 277 are within 1km... looking at the # in WG, i can't imagine how many 2012 P1s there are in that area!!

seems that this new school is getting lots more support than the existing ones :scratchhead:
