2013 P1 Registration Exercise for 2014 In-Take

[phtthp]

hi Power Puff,


perhaps study minimum 1 year at Catholic High (CHS) first.
do not give up your husband’s precious legacy for your son, which years later can be passed down to your future grandson. Bear in mind: no matter how many times you shift house in future, never lose your son’s P1 CHS report card. It is crucial, $ cannot buy.

Not to worry. Although CHS is SAP school, P1 / P2 lower primary Chinese is still manageable, not difficult. After one year, monitor situation.

from now till Jan 2014, still have 2 years.
for Chinese - try to enrol yr son in one of those centres above parents encouraged. Every child differ. Try out one term first. if not ok, try another centre until son happily settle down.

can consider kumon Chinese.
The advantage / strength of kumon Chinese over Berries is:
for kumon, son practise reading Chinese everyday. Berries, Tien Hsia only once a week.

below 2011 psle.
Quality passes (Percentage of A/A*):

Catholic High vs. SJIJ
====================

Maths 74.6 % (CHS) vs. 56 % (SJIJ)

Science 77.0 % (CHS) vs. 54.9 % (SJIJ)

Chinese 87.5 % (CHS) vs. 55.1% (SJIJ)


English 82.2 % (CHS) vs. not revealed by SJIJ

Thanks very much, KS Parents for your kind advice. Yes, will certainly consider your suggestions carefully. Have signed son up for a trial at Lorna Whiston’s and see how he copes. Would like him to be challenged and yet have a happy, balanced lifestyle. As to how that’s to be achieved is my challenge haha. Keep up the good work!

anyone staying in Toa Payoh,considering CHIJ (TP) as i am living < 1km . Checked with their school and they no need PV. Considering other route like joining as community leader but other mummies from this topic forum told me that i might be too late. Have anyone tried this route? Also any idea whether Marymount convent is gd (my backup plan)?

Hi hi


Guess I'm quite late in joining this group, my little piglet DD will be joining the fray of applicants come 2014 enrolment. Didn't realise PV has already started, what more ended in some of the schools :scared:

Am considering schools around Queenstown / Bukit Merah area as I'll be moving to Dawson Estate sometime in 2014. Any good recommendations? I have seen pretty good feedback on Zhangde Primary School, but in terms of distance, Queenstown Primary School will be the nearest (< 1km) , Gan Eng Seng, New Town & Zhangde will fall between the 1-2km radius.

Have considered River Valley, but distance is rather far, and besides, their PV application has closed already :oops:

For GESPS, you may like to start reading from Page 33 of the Bukit Merah thread for more information:

As for Queenstown Pri, the Queenstown Pri's Parents Networking Group will give you an idea:

If you are very keen about Zhangde and if your schedule allows you, perhaps joining as PV for the school may be the best way out.

Hi,


pressing panic button. My hubby just checked out this morning at the Nan Chiau Primary for my gal born in year 2007, and understand that registration for PV just open. But saw from many that it had closed. Cross finger, pls advise!

Hello! I’m new here.


I am wondering if I do PV for my gal but in the end, couldn’t get it or choose not to go for the school, can I use these PV hours to enrol my younger son in 2B, say 2016 registration?
