Hi, first post in the forum! I'm an overseas-based mom who met up with a friend recently and was chastised about not being more proactive about getting my kids (b.2009, 2011) into a good primary school in Sg. Popped by here and am absolutely horrified how far behind I am!

well in my view every primary school here is a good school. Except that it is branded or not.

many see it as good cos of past results. Why good results? Maybe alot of motivated (those whose parents are more educated, well off, somebody in society) kids went to these schools n made it there before. Or you hv foreign kids who are more motivated (obvious reasons) than local kids n they go all out to get good results!

now that our govt hv stepped in n put in more efforts to ensure even distribution of these kids n ofcourse principals with good track records,then we will see alot more good primary schools in our neighborhood. Don't you think so?

Silent reader reporting!! DD born 2009, having a huge headache choosing a primary sch. We are catholics and wish to enrol DD in CHIJ. St nick is one of our choice but we are living in simei currently. Hoping to be able to get a flat near st nick by this year.

Another choice will be st hildas at tamp but unless hub is able to join them as a pv otherwise the chances getting in is slim. >_<|||

The chances at St Nick's are even slimmer than St Hilda's, sorry to burst your bubble...

Dear mummies and daddys,


Can I check if I want to do the grassroot way. Can I volunteer if I am not residing in that zone? I went down to bishan cc to collect the volunteer form and this guy kept telling me there is no guarantee that I will get a recommendation letter. I said if my attendance is perfect and actively involved I don’t see why not right? He still insist no promise.

I am also a shhk member for almost a year. Called up and asked what is e criteria for getting a recommendation letter. The officer told me they have no clue. Anyone has clue so that I can try this route as well?
