If you stay near the school, school bus may not be that good an idea.
They really pick up the kids very early.
My kids used to take the school bus but eventually we realized that they could have an extra half an hour of sleep if they walk to school.
Saved some money too.

Not very near sch..so will need to send her to & fro.. Most prob will send her in the morning n opt for sch bus after sch..

Timing after school is OK.
In our estate (Faber Hill) initially there were enough kids to fill one school bus.
But a lot were put off by the timing eventually and stopped using it.

Hi, ngbrdad, thanks for the information. Seems like to take this TAG class offer is the better choice.

If you receive the letter inviting your kid to join the twinning system, take it.

Personally I find that twinning really helped my DS2 in his development , not only in school work.

He is learning a lot of history , geography, general knowledge in social studies, picking up computer skill in CEP lesson etc.

It's the best of both world. You do mainstream math, science and English, probably at a more advance level compared to the rest of the classes, but take same exams in these subjects.
The they join and take same CL/HCL as the GEP kids.
They take the GE social studies exam too even though it's not graded.

I agree. TAG class has its advantages such as smaller class size -25, better and nicer teachers according to my son. He does not want to go to mainstream class now cos he's really enjoying himself in TAG class

Yup I agreed fully.
My DS is enjoying himself in TAG.
He would have suffered in GEP had he qualified .

Now thinking

1)should I go for Qifa since I am the ex student there.
2)Do PV at Nan Hua since MIL within 2km
3)Do PV at BPPS since mum within 1km.

Please give me your advise.

3)Do PV at BPPS since mum within 1km.

Please give me your advise.

1. Ur IC indicate which add.
2. NHPS is balloting within 1km in P2B this year and their selection i quite tough.
3. BPPS is balloting within 2km in P2B for this year also. They accept all the PV. If u use ur mum address, it will be within 2km not 1km ( as caregiver )
4. U may want to enrol ur child to Qifa in P2A2 1st then monitor NHPS and BPPS if u apply as PV.

Ur child born in which year?
