Maid:
Suggest you target a few suitable schools and go for their open house. Trust me, you get lots of info from the open house.


I am not staying in Sengkang, but off hand, some schools to recommend would be Xinmin, Zhonghua, Nan Chiau. Heard from friends that Sengkang and North Vista are not that bad too.

If you don't mind a religion related school, can consider CHIJ St Joseph's Convent too.

CHIJ St Joseph COP is about 225. If you are considering Girls-only schools & don't mind travelling CHIJ st. Nick/ CHIJ Toapayoh or even RGS are 30-40 mins bus ride.

RGS is moving near RI by then.

The discipline there is SUPER strict, which is good. Every morning, the teachers will be checking your attire and stuff like that. The teachers are AWESOME and it's gonna be a SAP school next year! Nan Chiau High School is definitely a good and nice school! 🙂 I'm a student @ NCHS, so any questions about the school, you can ask me! 🙂

I think with crystal8135's daughter's results, if she can score well enough in the PSLE(well PSLE is unpredictable!), she can also consider DHS.My seniors there lives in Sengkang and I don't think its really far, since there is the circle line(Mountbatten).

Cedar Girls'(Potong Pasir) and CHIJ St Nicks(Toa Payoh?) can also be considered.
Hi, thks for all ur recommend, yes ST. nicks is in my consider, will also consider Xinmin & Zhonghua which is what Mrsseah recommend, and Cedar is the new list as i check is not so far from SK by mrt. hope my daughter can get well score in PSLE.

1. Xinmin @ Hougang - They're known to push the students to study hard. During exam period, they have very large countdown boards & they will always remind students to plan their time well, start revision early, etc. I have good impression of their students from my trips there to invigilate and join in teachers' trainings and some school events.

2. Zhonghua @ Serangoon Central - I've not visited the school before but my NIE classmate is teaching there and she told me that the school is good. She likes the students there (well-mannered) and she did mention that their results are good.

3. PLMGS @ Lor Ah Soo (btw Kovan & Serangoon MRT) - My alma mater and I taught there before. They take in a wide range of pupils with different academic abilities. And they have different programs (numerous) to cater to different groups. For the high ability students, they have Maths Olympiad trainings and Accelerated Maths program where the girls at S3/4 are doing A level maths. They also offer Music at O level. I know of many girls who take 9 - 10 students at O level at the school and scored very well. There's also a change in Principal last year. She's very good. Dynamic and a motivator. She's pushing the school to new heights with good changes made. You can take a look at the school website (go to the individual dept website to see what they do and what they have to offer). http://www.plmgss.moe.edu.sg (Go and look at 'Programs and read up about ACE program for high scorers)

Around Sengkang, there isn’t really good secondary schools. I live near to Compassvale Secondary, Nan Chiau High School etc. But for me, I don’t think I wish to study in the schools around Sengkang. If there were a good school around here, I would definitely go for it, especially since I hate waking up in the morning and my father prefers me to study in a school nearer to home.

I think with crystal8135’s daughter’s results, if she can score well enough in the PSLE(well PSLE is unpredictable!), she can also consider DHS.My seniors there lives in Sengkang and I don’t think its really far, since there is the circle line(Mountbatten).
Cedar Girls’(Potong Pasir) and CHIJ St Nicks(Toa Payoh?) can also be considered.
I hope my post has not offended anyone, this just purely my opinion and no pun intended!

I get very good feedback from her (her dd is Sec 3 this year). She said Zhonghua is strong in Chinese. 😄

My son is in Xinmin Secondary School, Sec 2. Xinmin was awarded the School Excellence Award in 2005. It is a vibrant autonomous school. I am glad I made the right decision in opting Xinmin for him. The school is within walking distance from home. I am praying and working hard with my second son who is taking PSLE next month so that he too qualifies to go to Xinmin.

Their school open house is held twice a year. The second one is in Nov.
