How far off are you from Temasek??? Temasek is very popular now and friends have good remarks about it. My impression is that it's all in the east.Hi,
Infact, I am old ger of Temasek Pri unfortunately it is too far for me.
Just to share, we used to stay in changi and my girl is at maha bodhi. The school bus picks her up at 11.45am as she is the last and she reaches home by 7.20pm. Now that we move to upper serangoon area, the school bus picks her up at 11am!!! and drops her by 7pm. Nearer but need to go earlier becoz the bus need to ferry other people.
In our case, we were contemplating over TNS as we can try under 1km but I just find it too risky so I still prefer to fall back on maha bodhi as it is definitely a breeze to enter via phase 2A1 or 2A2. No sleepless nites over it and the opportunity cost to me was great if I were to lose MBS for trying at TNS. We are now within 1km from HIPs and around 1.2km for Rosyth. Hubby is \"convincing\" me to put the youngest in a diff school to have a different exposure...I told him that he must be crazy. He didn't realise that we are so fortunate that we didn't have to go through any PV or balloting....
Just different views for thots : ) -
J2mum:
haha maybe. which estate r u staying? i'm doing PV in kong hwa right now. another 20 hours to go before next year's registration.Hi,
I just came to realise there are many parents living near Kong Hwa. I live the school too. Does that mean we are all under the same estate?
My ger is 4yo this year and she will be P1 in 2011.
Kong Hwa is also my 1st choice and Katong Pri is my 2nd.
I do hear my colleague mention about Haig Girl but I have a younger son. I dun want to go searching for school after 2 yr.

Way to go waterfall! Halfway there already. What jobs did you get other than the P1 registration duties you did? -

Last year PSLE was not really impressive, only 99.8% passed. 59.8% A/A* for English, 53.1% for Math, ... -
For Kong Hwa, last year 87.5% went express… As for Haig Girl 94.5% went express stream.
Result speaks for itself… -
Is there a school \"opening\" hours for cars to drive in? Tried twice at other times to find the big main gate closed... :oops:
I meant for kong hwa school... -

[/quote]Is that so? I know of someone who puts her son there and they actually did PV to get in. The son is in P1 this year and so far, I've heard nothing but good comments abt the school.MMM:

My child's classmate's mum also went through the same thing to try to get her child into Temasek for next year P1. It appeared to be very popular in the east and she was sooo relieved when she got a place. -

How did you get all this info on % who went to express? I am keen to see the % for MBS.For Kong Hwa, last year 87.5% went express... As for Haig Girl 94.5% went express stream.
Result speaks for itself...
BTW, it appeared that the take up rate for Haig Girl is not very \"robust\". Not too sure why. -
