[Bedok] Primary Schools

[June]

Anyone can share yr advice?


We did PV for Kong Hua, like the school very much though it’s a SAP school but not as stressful as Tao Nan. We choose that school as my DS is very strong in his 2nd language and not so academic driven.

However in case we can’t get in the school, there aren’t much choices of school near our place, Telok Kurau (within 1km) & St Stephan (within 1-2km) but DH prefers mixed school. Explored Ngee Ann and Geylang Methodist but outside of 2km. Help! Will u go for St Stephan phase 2C so not not to jepordise the opporty?

st stephen no ballot for last year (1-2 Km0, as for ngee ann. no ballot as well..... so it should be quite 'safe' if u choose ngee ann...

i find the school not bad, as its under the NGEE ANN KONG SI, it has affilation to ngee ann seconday (school of distinction) . so if u want you child 一路上to secondary school. then its a good choice. my cousin did a 'search' and say the PSLE passing rate is quite good.....

she doing PV in ngee ann.

as i am a teochew and rather involve in the teo ann huay kuan, the children from ngee ann is always call to perform during big days... their chinese orchestra and chinese dance ( but i think boys dun need chinese dance as CCA ) also from what i know , this school's performaning arts good, i also understand that they will have their own concert yearly at victoria concert hall....

Why Yu Nen is so popular? I saw her PSLE pass rate is lower than national average but has quite a few very high score student these years.

How about St. Antony Canossian? PSLE result not so good but 7 people voted for it as preferred school and is it 'cos of its affiliated schools?

my daughter is from st anthony's .. i find it a good school. it emphasize alot on characters . also the girls don't 'even make loud noises' during school recess and in between school times... i really like this school.


and this year the secondary school is awarded 'school of distinction'. so making it for difficult to get into the secondary. with affilation , PSLE for express is 188, without affilation IIRC is 238 or more.

so its certainly a good choice

it is a catholic school? will it embrace catholic faith on the student? i worry it will confuse my kid as she grow up with christian foundation.
