i3mum:

Does anyone know if the primary school affiliation to Secondary will be removed in future?

Never heard of that. You got the info from somewhere?

[i3mum]

I was not sure, wanted to ask if anyone know if it will be removed in future.

Dun think they will remove the affiliation. It’s just that girls who want to enter the IP route must score above the COP given to outsiders as well. Those who only want the O Level stream can enter via the lower affiliation COP.

Hi cherrygal, I had the same thinking as you too. Hopefully they will not remove.

My son will be registering for P1 in a few years' time. I can register him in:

1) Chongfu School - Phase 2A(1)
2) SJI (Junior) - Phase 2A(2)
I prefer Chongfu as it an earlier phase, nearer to my home, more exposure to Chinese, and logistically convenient should I subsequently have a daughter.
SJI (Junior) seems more well-known and established and my Father-in-law and husband were from that school.
My son seems fine with any school.
What else do I need to consider to finally decide on a primary school for him?
Thanks.

hi asteria98

I believe distance plays a very important part in deciding the schools. Chongfu is a very good school in the North and since it is logistically more convenient, I will go for it unless you are a very \"on\" Catholics and want your kids to be raise up in a Catholic school settings.

I always tell my friends who are deciding on primary school, the distance is number one priority cause it is 6 years of travelling. One of my friend regretted now for putting the son in Bishan while they stay in Pasir Ris.
