Hi kiasubeng


Thanks for the info…

Hi parents here,

I have a son who is pretty slow in learning and very short attention span. I wonder if TKPS will be too fast pace for him.

Any parents have similar experience to share with me?

Hi J2mum


My gal is also slow in learning. I’m considering to put her in TKPS or Geylang Methodist Pri. Although Kong Hwa is the nearest to my place but have decided to give it a miss as I dont think my gal can take that kind of stress. Which other schools are u looking at? Your boy will be P1 next year?

hi, can i know how is TKPS compared to Haig Girls primary? I am contemplating between these 2 schools for my daughter.


However, Haig Girl’s is nearer to my place (less than 1km) whereas TKPS is within 1 to 2km from my place.

What is my chances of getting to TKPS if it is around 2km from my place?

My daughter will be registering for p1 next year.

Thank you.

my place is also within 2km to tkps. we will be under phase 2c, unless u are a PV, then u will be in phase 2b & 2c. personally i think both schools seems ok but i would prefer a cohort school, moreover i hv another younger boy.

actually i’m a PV in kong hwa but hv decided to give it amiss as i think it will be too stress for my gal esp she’s slow in learning.

mummychia,


I am stay within 1km of Kong Hua. We must be neighbour! After much discussion and observation on my son, my hubby and I decided to give Kong Hua a miss. I heard Geylang Methodist Pri has lots of homework too. That is why we decided to head for Tg Katong as a friend used to be teacher of Tg Katong Secondary which is next door and she told us the school is quite good.

Jessmei,
I heard lots of good comments on Haig Girl. U should take the advantage to register your girl into the school. The school has such a big compound despite is it just a girl school. My girl is in Canossa Convent as I failed to register her into Kong Hwa but it was a blessing in disguise cos her current school treats her very well.

yes we must be neighbours oh i'm not aware that gmps also hv lots of homework. i did post on that thread but no reply yet. my hubby feels we stand a better chance for gmps since we are within 1km compare to tkps within 2km. but i think since its all under phase 2c so makes no diff rite? so now we will go for whichever has more vacancies between these 2 schools.

actually my gal's preschool also suggested canosa convent but i hv another younger boy so i prefer to put them in the same school.

Hi Jessmei,


Haig Girl's is also nearer to my place (less than 1km). I had been to the school compound with my hubby last week, we love the school environment. I have heard lots of positive feedback on this girls school.

We are still deciding whether to put her to Haig or Geylang Methodist Primary which is between 1km - 2km distance. I heard from my friend who has a son studying P1 there, there are many homeworks, and the father after returning from a busy day work have to do homework and study with the child, very tiring and stressful for both the child and the father.

Looks like I better go for tkps since both u & j2mum also said gmps has lots of homework. Just hope there won't be any balloting.

So u decided to go for haig since u like the environment? I called up both gmps & tkps but they don't hv any open house :sad:

mummychia,


If u said no difference which is not true. At phase 2c, if the school is over subscribe then the school will divide the applicant into 1km, 1-2km and 2km.
I have not check the status for last yr but two yrs ago, there is no problem for appliants that is 1-2km and even 2km away.

If u want to know more about Canossa Convent u can go to the school thread I can provide more information, we better keep to tkps here.
