Tanjong Katong Primary

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.

thanks for the clarification, i have also checked with a friend who is a teacher & she told me if balloting is required, then distance matters.

i also cant find any result for last year but yes i think i read somewhere in the forum that for year 2010, no problem for 2c, balloting is required only for 2c supplementary.

most likely wont consider canossa as i prefer to put my 2 kids in the same school. dont want to go thru another stressful time for my younger boy.

Hi mummies who are considering TKPS ... Allow me to share regarding workload in this school.. So far my son in P1 hardly comes back with school work, even if there is, very minimum and manageable in less than 20 mins. School holiday so far only asked to read 10 Chinese storybooks and write a review of 1 or 2 sentences looking at the space given, which I think is manageable.. And the rest of the holiday is my work and play, play and play. Hope it helps and good luck

Hi LNHQ


This thread is so quiet, really appreciate your feeback!! Is your son enjoying school so far? I actually assume that the school will operate in single session by next year, till i checked MOE website that its still going to be PM session for the lower primary. I’m within 1-2km so hope there’s no balloting required.

Hi mummychia
Yes my boy is happy in this school. It was a blessing in disguise when I was force to choose another alternative. But like all schools, is the teachers that counts too. Single session won't be so soon which I didn't know why. I was under 1-2km last year This year seems to have lesser intake. I remember last yr was 270, this year became 240. 1 class lesser. So you confirm choosing this school or still thinking ?

They have reduced the intake this year. Wonder why?

Hi LNHQ


oh dear this year reduce intake, hope its not too competitive & needs balloting
most likely i will confirm this school though still feel abit wasted as i'm a PV from another school.
yes i agree teachers play an important role & i'm glad to hear that the teachers here are good & your son is enjoying school

[J2mum]
