All about Transferring to Other Primary Schools

[pherie]

My child successful transfer is to Hougang Primary, not Anderson by the way..


Anyway, I called up Hougang last Monday and was told no slot but I can submit for waitlist, which I did. At the school, I gave them my child's result list, and filled up a school transfer from. They told me to call them this week if I did not receive any call from them.

Last Fri, I called, they say they are still processing results.. I get my husband to called on Monday (who asked generally if there's vacancies), they say no vacancies for P5 (4 standard subject).

This Wed, I called them again asking for result of my child's transfer application. Same answer... but said she'll check with Principal again as they are still processing the option forms. Half hour later they called me again and told me there is a slot for my child and asked to go down and get it processed. I was overjoyed. Guess we were pretty lucky.

Wow, nice to know that Anderson, my alma mater has waiting list.

Hi pherie,
May I ask how you manage to transfer your girl? I heard that every school operates differently but for my case, I guess my chances very slim as I heard from a parent that she was on waiting list since his son was P1 and his boy is already P4 now.

1. CHIJ (TYP)
2. Nan Chiau
3. Hon Wen

All applications are successful. Now my wife and I are deciding which school to go to by 18 Nov. Anyone has any recommendation for the above schools?

Thanks for your clarification.

Based on past years' P1 registration statistics, (2) is the most popular choice among the three schools.

What are your considerations?

Hi, just wondering whether anyone here has applied for their child for transfer to Maris Stella Primary next year and have gone for the entrance exams? Have you heard back from the school regarding the outcome?

Nan Chiau belongs to the group of hokkien huay kuan schools. If you have a younger boy that needs to enter primary school soon, then choose either Nan Chiau or Hong Wen. If you want an all-girls environment for your gal and you want her to excel in English, then choose CHIJ TPY. If none of the above, then would just advise you to take the most popular.
