Good to know that you have a plan. All the best.

Actually by P3, will you still want to move your child out unless it’s GEP?


After 1 year in the school, my kid had already formed friendship bonds etc and he won’t want me to move him anywhere.

interestingly, the same reason for getting into these old, traditional schools is for the chinese culture/values and beliefs, hoping that it will do more good to our pampered kids.

nan chiau is 1-2km from my place and out of reach now.

hongwen, my boy can go in as 2A2 in next yr registration, but it is 10.6km from my place..

Wow 10.6 km! 6 yrs, plus later CCAs and supp classes...........of course there are many who travel from one end to the other end. Only you can decide......

1. anyone can update on HWS status at 2C? how many in 1km? although no chance at from past years, still wait for 奇迹 before submit at sub school


2.wow, 10.6km is very far then, not sure how long the travel dist. but one pv from HWS also gave up HWS and register and Nan chiau, travel for an hour from home to school and another hour back to work lor…so, really depends on parent ; think and count the time too for the kids to travel before we decide to put them in our "ideal" school

i chosed hws as all schools are within 1 to 2km except bendemeer

Distance can be very deceptive since we aren’t birds and cannot fly from point a to b. The one grouse I have with their current site is that it is very far from the mrt station, and the walk is relatively quiet. Any dangers are probably in my imagination but still…


well, I know of pp who live in jurong WEST and send their kids to schools in Bt Timah/Orchard - some thrive, some wither. I know of pp who are staying in pasir ris and planning with no 2nd thoughts to have their kids go to their alma mater in bt timah. fyi, both parents working in all cases.

For the case of 2A2, it really will be a pity to give that up - imagine father and child go to same school together. But still the call is personal and definitely based on individual situation.

hquek you walk very slowly from mrt station to school? :evil:


I find the walk alright and I'm carrying bb leh. Maybe becos I'm trying to lose weight :rotflmao:

If I walk fast will reach gate 5 under 10 mins.

There are usually uncles and aunties talking walks or pple going to work. You walk that stretch very early in the morning? Or we talk different routes?
