      Townville and Teck Ghee have good review from others parents who stay around my area and also a feedback from 1 of the Guan Yang teacher that GY is not that great.


      I intend to register my DD to Marymount Convent, does anyone has any feedback to share with me?

          CHIJ Our Lady of Good Council, are you refering to the Tao Payoh CHIJ. My friend daughter was from there now in CHIJ TPY secondary. They focus alot on English and character buidling. I heard it is good.

              CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel is located at Burghley Drive (Serangoon Gardens). It is not affiliated to CHIJ Toa Payoh. It is affiliated to St Joseph's Convent at Sengkang. It is quite a small school and like most convents, they focus on good English.

                If you want a Catholic school near Bishan, the nearest would be Marymount Convent. You can try for Phase2B (no need to volunteer) since you are Catholic and most prob no need to ballot coz Marymount Convent only requires balloting at Phase 2C Supp. This is becoz most Singaporean parents will try other more popular schools first before coming to Marymount. However it is actually not bad so if you are not that kiasu, you can consider putting her in Marymount during Phase 2B and there will be no competition even if you are >2km away.

                Likewise for CHIJ OLGC at Phase 2B. But CHIJ OLGC fills up at Phase 2C within 2km. πŸ™‚

                  Thank you for your advise. Seem it will works.

                  We're not that kiasu to enroll her to top branded school, it will be long journey for our daughter I dont want to stress her too much in her young age eventhough she is a smart girl.

                    Hi, do not go to AMK Primary school, the principle is not responsive and some of the teacher are violent and not responsible. They do not really prepare the student for their PSLE and if you refer to their website, their PSLE standard are below national average.

                    :spam: It depend , my eldest kid did quite well in her PSLE there!
                    Intend to enrole my second child there in 2 years time as next year the school will go single session after the upgrading work.

                      Dear parents, any comparison on the different IJ school… OLGC vs St NIcks? Which is better? Based on curriculum, TSR (teacher student relationship) as well as any other things that we as parents need to know? Do enlighten us. Thanks
