Can someone highlight which school is better, Fairfield or CHIJ katong.


Many thanks !

I think it'll be hard for anyone to comment unless they have kids in both schools. Will your child be taking the school bus? If so, you will have to check if school buses from Fairfield will pick up kids in the East. All the best to you on whichever school you decide to go with!

Sch bus nowadays not cheap… and seems that there is talk about raising fares… saying like they need to fetch workers, cannot cope etc… and then sch kids may need to go to sch early early…


So… parents who are concerned about costs, logistics, and welfare of kids… do plan carefully…

Hi Chijoh2001,


I also did the same as you. The school staff advise me to have my hubby to stationed at the school that you registered earlier and yourself at the school under p2c. So you weigh your chance, if you think the chance good under p2c, call your hubby to withdraw then afterwhich u can register. Withdrawing no need show original ics, but registering you need originals. You can do this on 1st August, but make sure got sufficient time.

For myself, I still thinking which school to choose?

Thanks for your advice. I will be the bus driver lor before going to work. I also do not want her to wake up so early just to travel to the school.

If I register my child online at my preferred school, on the last day 1 Aug 2012 if I know the number within 1 km exceed the number of available seats for p2C, how do I withdraw and register at my next preferred choice if it can only be done onsite?

Actually, my mum is staying in Dover near Fairfield, but I do not have the intention to let my girl to stay over there. I will be the fetching her to school and then to work. After work, fetch her from my mum's place. Just by telling you, I already feel the hecticness! Haiz!
