I believe your son lose the chance if he put st hilda's as his third choice. As mentioned in http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/secondary-one-posting/option-exercise/
\"that he/she must indicate that secondary school as his first choice of school in order to enjoy the priority admission to that affiliated school..\".

Well, I have the same problem as you. My son scored 219, we intend to put in this order..
1st st hildas (nearest to home)
2nd st gabriel (boy sch)
3rd st patrick (boy sch)
4th compassalve sec
5th & 6th ?

So... have you conclude ....?

Btw, anyone has any views about these school?

Hi


My kid got 210 for PSLE. Am thinking of either Manjusri or Bedok South Secondary school as 1st choice.

Does anyone have any feedback about these 2 schools?

Would appreciate any inputs. Thanks very much

Manjusri is notorious. Bedok South is good but heard also dropping.

I am not familiar with the public transport system :oops: as I have been driving in the past. Could anyone help to advise what is the easiest/fastest way to get from Pasir Ris or Tampines MRT to

1) Cedar Girls
2) TKGS
3) Anglican High

Many thanks in advance!

1. don't know
2. From Paya Lebar MRT station (bus stop just outside the station facing the mosque not Singapore post) and take any bus going to Parkway from there.
3. Walk from Tanah Merah MRT station (it's the nearest from Pasir Ris).

Thanks tutormum. I have discussed with my DD and we decided to stick to Cedar as the 1st choice despite the distance. I hope she will be happy there. :nailbite:

:congrats: to your daughter ... she made an excellent choice - trust me Cedar is far from boring ! ! !

Let's just say if by any chance she doesn't like the school ..i am sure by end of first year she will begin to like it & to really enjoy it.

Also has she decided on her CCA? Need advice on that ?

Thanks Maisy. She likes TKD but there isnt such a sport in Cedar. She wanted to try either softball or netball but hasnt decided. So what you do you recommend?

Your daughter's interest sounded v much like mine when i was younger... i did TKD too (outside school)

During my time, there was no softball but yes netball was good. I took up NCC as I enjoyed rugged activities ... we experimented with 3 different type of rifles (Air Rifle, T-bolt & M16) and i enjoyed the camaraderie-hood built over various camping trips - it made me a very independent & busy girl who has no time hence for all those BGR issues... my other ECA was swimming but...swimming was never Cedar's forte So it wasn't that taxing... Besides, I was a Prefect (Prefects in Cedar has a lot to do & we observe every rule closely) ... Hence it was \"blessing in disguise that swimming was not that taxing\" ... With so many things on hand (not to forget my TKD & tuition outside of school) - where got time to think about boys....sigh.. hahahaha

Your daughter seem to know what she wants .. so good...let her choose for herself then
