Secondary Schools - West

If I am not wrong, you are considering St. Patrick because they give you a chance to go into Express by affilliation?


Judging from the choices mentioned, I believe ACS Barker is nearer to your home then St. Patrick. However, ACS Barker would only offer your boy NA. Nonetheless this is still much better then Express in St. Patrick.

I know of at least 3 cases of NA student in ACS Barket make it to Express after Sec-1. If you care to share more about your boy, please http://singapore.math-chinese-tutor.com/contact-us/.

ACS Barker is a much better school… the principal is Mr Peter Tan formerly of ACS Jr, a very highly regarded principal. St Patrick has a high number of foreigners (rather rich) … one of the CCA that is rather popular there is like Golf… ACS has more on character building.

I stay at Cashew Rd, see pupils from Chestnut Drive and Assumption Sch very frequently. I won’t recommend these two schs for the fear of undesirable peer pressure unless family support and guidance is very strong. JMHO

I agree with Jennifer re the 2 secondary schools.

but how about Fajar Sec? Any comments?

my neighbour’s son is from there and he is quite a quiet chap.

Pupils from this sch like to hang around the HDB blocks nearby in the morning. I always wonder why they don't like to be in sch early? The Malays pupils are noisier. Chinese ones seem ok.

The shop owner at a minimart in my estate has 2 children in Yusok Ishak Sec. She says the sch will push the pupils to work hard and she and her children are happy with the sch so far.


I take the LRT on some mornings to Fajar Mkt. The pupils from ZhengHua and West Spring are well behaved.

You stay at Bt Batok, St. Patrick is in East Coast Rd. Quite far leh.
