What do you mean by \"school ask you to withdraw\"?

If you do not get into Phase 2B, its understood as \"unsuccessful\". And you would have to try under 2C. Meaning you would have to apply again.
Upon submitting documents, you can check with the school on your chances, ie with 1km, 1-2km and such.
Hope that helps

So meaning to say if u r unsuccessful in ph2B, u don't have to 'deregister' or submit another form to withdraw, right? You can just go for the next phase to apply.

I'm staying in SengKang as well. I've registered my son under Phase2A2.

Travelling time (by car) from Seng Kang to Kong Hwa is about 20mins.
By Mrt (Buangkok MRT) to Kong Hwa (Dakorta), including walking, is less than 40mins.

It seem that taking MRT is 40 mins whereas taking school bus pick up time is 5.40am. The kid does not have to get up so early if travel by car or MRT comparing to school bus.

Some good statistics u have collected. I am staying in sengkang as well but doubted letting him go on the train alone in the first year... The ironical fact is that unless u r that early or late to avoid the jam, the mrt may be faster than driving. Perhaps erp for kpe may be started real soon. The traffic is getting worse by the day. Imagine with the new condos and flats coming online.

Hi, just a word of caution, the Dokota train station is not very near to school and its not sheltered.

Is Higher Chinese a compulsory subject starting from P1 in Kong Hwa?

Hi,


I’m new here. Me making plans for my gals (born 2009). I know its still early but if to do PV or RC or join SHHK, i really need to get moving. Haha… super kiasu.

I’m staying in Blk 5 Pine Close and KH is the only school that is within 1KM? May i know the strength of this school eg CCA beside their Chinese. I really need advise if i need to do PV if so what is the criteria they look for?

Many thanks.

I hope to share a concern and understand if others face this too. My ds is in 3/1 n I realize that the Chinese teacher for his MT never update us on upcoming CA or test so far. Very often I get the papers thereafter only to realize there was unit test conducted previous week. I asked my ds but answer is always he doesn’t know there was test n neither did his classmates. However for the English medium subjects, I do get notes or letters stating test dates n topics. Now I m not sure if this is my child’s oversight or there really was no notification on Chinese tests etc ? Can any parent of 3/1 verify ? Tia.

Did you try to clarify with the teacher? Hmm yours in P1 or P3? Mine p1, we did get the exam time table for the whole of term3 & 4 at the beginning of term 3 and that includes the chinese exam dates as well.

Parents should certainly get a timetable for any important tests which also include the pre-tests (not included in any Sa or Ca) for Chinese subject and definitely not after the tests.

You should call the Cl teacher to clarify.

My kids in p1 & p5. Both brought back letters for all subjects - test dates. But not for mock tests. Best to check with MT teacher.
