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

Wow, you are also into TKD? Which club were you from?

Actually, my DD's 1st choice CCA is shooting/air rifle but this is not a popular school sports and I persuaded her to try others. :oops:

She wants to try alot of things and I am trying to moderate her by asking her what she needs and prioritise. Maybe I will ask her to check out NCC if she gets into Cedar.
