Me too. We are keen on Chongfu for our daughter, but we are not sure whether it is too stressful and academically driven. While we like the school being chinese-orientated and strict in discipline (based on what we hear), we also want a as-carefree-as-possible primary school education for the kids (though may not be possible in all schools now … haha)


sigh. I suppose cant have the cake and eat it.

any parents of existing students of Chongfu care to share their experience? TIA.

Hi,


My DD in ChongFu, she loves the school, but only primary one (too early to tell)…the form teacher will sms us to keep us update until kids keep notes to inform us…I understand from the other classes that the form teacher did the same too.

Parent day usually on weekend or weekday after office hours, quite flexible for working parents like us. Actually maybe other school is the same too, but I have lost touch…

Just transferred my son (P3) this year to Chongfu. I must say so far i am happy with the school so far. Its true the class teacher will update the parents with an update of their children when neccessary via sms.


Just felt that the prices of the canteen food a little pricer than our previous school though.

Students are very very orderly, which was totally missing from his previous school.

thumbs up! :love:

can anyone tell me whether the 2 condos Yishun Sapphire and Emerald are < 1km of Chongfu? Street directory and Singapore maps are showing me very different results, thanks

Use can.com.sg. Since their maps are from SLA, they should be the most definitive. If you want the community to help you, you need to supply at least the postal codes.

I think can call the school and check with them…I know Seletaris and Sensoria is within 2km…Most likely they are within 1km.

Hi all,


Anyone can share what typically is the Hokkien Huay Kwan membership tenure required for recommendation into Chong Fu primary school ?

Many thanks for your advice.

hi mummyies, no need to be so stressful for P1 registration actually. if u cannot manage to get into a sch u expected, yr child may still have a chance to be transferred at a late stage, as long his/her exam results/ranking are good enough. u may call the sch to check vacancies at P2, P3 or even later. i did so for my child and she was successfully transferred in P3.
