[Bedok] Primary Schools

sugarpie2honey,
Thank you for your data! How did you find the info? from their website?
Ngee Ann and Haig Girl are still my choices for my daughter, but recently my friend told me Ngee Ann is better because it is affiliated with Ngee Ann secondary.
If my child did very well in PSLE as she could get more than 250, it does not matter. But if she did not, the advantage could make a big difference.
What abou CCA? May I know P1 students can start CCA in Ngee Ann or Haig Girl?
It seems like Haig Girl has more selections.
What do you think? I want my dd to enjoy activities other than studying. -

The CHIJ's exact percentages came directly from their website. Then I checked Ngee Ann's website and found they actually list the students scoring 250+ and tell how many in each year's cohort, thus a simple calculation to get their percentage. Still wishing to get this data from HGS. I did dig up a letter from the principal dated 4 Jan 2012 in which the principal from HGS congratulates P6 class of 2011 and says, \"About 9% of our P6 Class of 2011 was offered places at secondary schools such as Dunman High School, MGS, RGS, SCGS, SOTA, and TKGS through Direct School Admission.\" Still, I would like to get the exact info for apple to apple comparison...
Your point about secondary affiliation is good. ...very true!
As for CCA's, true again that there are more choices at HGS.
What HGS has that NAPS doesn't is:
Basketball, Bowling, Netball, Swimming, Red Cross, Ballet & Tap, Gamelan Ensemble, Handbells, Debating Club, MRL Club, Science Club, Let's Act, and Math Club.
And, the CCA's NAPS has that HGS doesn't is:
Table tennis, Soccer, Floorball, Lion Dance (included in their Wushu), Guzheng Ensemble, Chinese Orchestra, Caligraphy (perhaps could be taught in HGS' Chinese Cultural Club?), Robotics Club, and Scouts (of course).
I enquired earlier this year for my P1 son at NAPS as to whether he could join the CCA -looking for something sporty. I was told that they usually wait til end of P2 to invite them in for such CCA's, but that they could try for any of the performing arts CCAs earlier. However, just last week, my P1 son was invited to join in Table Tennis CCA which I'm very happy for the opportunity and believe it is because of NAPS being very responsive after conducting a parent survey last term regarding CCAs. I had noted on the survey that I would prefer him to start a CCA ealier while in P1/P2 academics are less taxing on his time.
My HGS daughter was invited to join Dance CCA towards the end of P1. Seems the schools are always on the lookout for any talent they can grow and stretch. I would think for the performing arts, music, and such, the earlier they start, the better!
Nice to share info with you! Thanks again for your previous sharing of PSLE data when I was struggling to find it. -

Dear Kiasu Mummies and Daddies,
I need some advice for next year's ballotting strategy: :nailbite: given its Golden Pig and additional 1200 children of school going age (SingStat) its gonna get worse before it gets better ...
2B I will try for St Hilda's (not a great chance but something)
however as we live on the Bedok side I am struggling with my back up plans for 2C.
Opera Estate or East Coast Primary (we would be outside of 1-2 km for most good schools like Red Swastika, Yu Neng, Feng Shang, so no need to even try... :sad:
Both of these schools are ok.. the only difference I guess is that Opera estate seems homelier, smaller, friendlier.. so anyone could give me some advice that would be great.
:imdrowning:
Thanks in advance. -
I'm in similar situation. My girl also born in 2007 and out of the range of all the better schools. I want to try for St Anthony’s Canossian Primary. My chances are quite slim as I'm staying in Chai Chee which is more than 2km away. Head from a mother who has 2 kids in East Coast Pri that they recently changed principal and he is good. Strict in discipline. Her kids are doing well in this school. Opera East Pri is actually nearer to my house. I'ts have more international students compared to East Coast Pri.
