Hi, I am stuck with 3 choices, hope for some advice.


1) Anderson pri - my old sch but meaning I have to shift back to amok
2) mee toh - currently staying within 1km
3) rivervale - within 1.5km.

Which is a better choice, in terms of character building and academic?

Your place not too far from Anderson Pri right?

I am currently staying in punggol. If I don't shift back to amk, think it will be tiring for my children to travel to and fro when they start having cca.

If you dun mind shifting back to AMK, just do it! Always better to have a guaranteed seat in a popular school like Anderson. Mee Toh is very popular so you may not even get in.


Nowadays, parents really pamper the kids hor. In the past, our parents just made us take school bus or public bus. We kids did not even complain. I know of classmates who travelled from jurong to toa payoh. So travelling from punggol to ang mo kio isn’t that bad actually.

Do you plan to drive your child to/frm school? Punggol to/frm AMK is actually very very fast by car.

Hi miffy_ang
You are facing the same dilemma as me, my gal can go RGPS under 2A2 as mummy is x gal there.. But distance is the main consideration, actually Punggol to AMK is not that far as compared to Punggol to Bukit Timah..should really consider that. We still have about 3 weeks to think about it. All the best to you and to me as well.

[cherrygal]

Definitely. Punggol to Bukit Timah is no joke, plus the massive jams…


Punggol to AMK is OK.

Hi,


I’m considering placing my son in ACS but can’t decide between ACS Primary (at Barker) or ACS Junior (at Winstedt). Any advice or feedback on either school would be appreciated. Thx

Help! I am having trouble choosing between Kuo Chuan and Yangzheng Primary. I live at Lorong Chuan and both schools are less than 1 km for me. I am a PR too. So which school will be best for my son who is p1 at 2013? . Please help us. Thank you

I am PR. Hence P2C for me. Do I stand a chance for Rivervale Primary (Sengkang)? Or for Compassvale Primary? Nan Chiau is a forlorn hope.
