besides Ngee Ann and Bukit Panjang that introduce \"Bridging Chinese\" (for students with little or no Chinese exposure at home) very early in Primary 1, another school is:-


Paya Lebar Methodist primary (refer slide 11) :-

in all schools P1 Term 1, Chinese teachers tend to teach hanyu pinyin quite fast.
They usually combine han yu pin yin with tingxie.
example:
\"sha fa\" - then the child will translate, interpret & write out the Chinese han zi (sofa) for tingxie. Thus it is good that close to K2 Term 4, if can, try to expose your child to han yu pin yin - but preferably after your child has cleared and finished English Phonics.

I think the bridging thingy is pretty much across all primary schools

Hi,


Can anybody tell me which GRC i should approach if i like my boy to go to tan nan primary. He is born in 2007. Is it a better chance than parent volunteer?
:thankyou:

Generally, we volunteer/join at the GRC we reside and if qualify for P2B as GRL, we could register our child into schools within the same GRC where we serve and reside.

I am not sure which GRC does Tao Nao belong to. Have you tried calling the school and ask them?

It should be ....Tao Nan and the school is in Marine Parade.

Born in 2007, meaning registering next year. So, most likely, she is too late to go by the GRL route.

i have not checked with the school yet, thinking of joining SHHK but i am not a Hokkien, not eligible. I tried asking them about PV, and was told may still need to ballot even if clock in 60-80 hrs work. Very worried.

Even if you succeeded in joining GRC and qualify for P2B, you are still subjected to balloting if total applicants exceed vacancies. Do you say within 1 km of Tao Nan?
