I see on their website that there is some major upgrading in 2013 but cannot find any details. Would someone be able to enlighten ? Thank you!


Happy new year!!!

Have gotten through to SHPS, but understand that it is relocating to Bedok from next year for 2 years. Is it ok to relocate closer to the interim address of the school (i.e., Bedok/Tanamera) so as to reduce travel time for my kid? It will mean shifting and a lot of hassle, but was thinking that if it reduces the travel time for my kid then it may be worth the effort. 2 years is a long time

Also, MOE has the expectation for the kid to stay in the same address for primary school. I believe the primary purpose is to ensure the kid stays close to school, but if the school itself is moving, then is it a consideration? Anybody done this before? any advise?

maisy:
I see. So if one happens to stay within 1km of the temporary site, one won't be eligible for the \"within 1Km\" registration (even though temp site will be used for 2-3 years ie roughly half the child's lifetime in the school)? Is my understanding correct? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you are correct.

Moving temp to AMK. Will be back at the same location in 2015


Even though some schools are moving to temporary holding locations, distance from home to school is calculated based on original premise and not at temporary premises.

Now, they are looking at whether any possibility to move to a temp location…

Hi

when upgrading, what does that mean, will move to the new location or still stay in the same school premises?

I had a question, if Rulang and Nan Hua, have a choice, which school will U let ur children apply:

Rulang : I stay within 1 km from Rulang
Nan Hua : I am ex-student of Nan Hua

I am a working mum but most of the time work from home, but if I have meeting that I need to attend and go back to office, I will send my kids to my kids to clementi (my mum hse) ie walking distance to Nan Hua.
With that, will U apply for Rulang Pri or Nan Hua Pri?
I would choose Nan Hua as it was a 99% comfirm a place for my child.
