Hi,
I hv reg my boy under phase 2c (we are sc). But was Abit lost dinking of transferring him to guangyang bcos of wushu as the sch i reg him has limited CCA and other reasons too. My only concern is I’m staying near Potong Pasir not sure if the sch bus can send my boy back. We are outside 2km. So not sure if I shd Trf now or wait till dec den Trf him. Pls advise. -
The school offers higher Chinese from P1 and has variety of CCA which they screened suitable candidates in P1 to join. Those not selected can also join the CCA as long as interested expressed by child n/or parent. My DS was selected for Weiqi n as he is interested in Wushu, the teacher in charge gladly allowed my DS to join where he enjoyed himself very much in both CCAs.

Yeah I saw their CCA list in sch website look interesting but does CCA play an impt part during primary sch time? Dis current sch I reg my boy in is less den 1km fr my house whereas GY is more den 2km. Not sure if I shd just withdraw him now and register him at phase 3 or just wait till Dec.

I would advise you to call up the school to register your interest and intention before phase 3 starts. They should be able to advise you. Cheers.

Yup I called them up and they told me to withdraw fr that sch and reg on 29 Aug. since I’m a SC I will be given priority over the other. So I’m in dilemma now. Is it worth to go base on CCA and other factors.
-
It depends on you. I personally like the varieties they offer.

How abt going to the school to take a look? The environment is nice - facilities are new and I love the fact that it is single session.
If I’m not wrong, GY has 3 niche CCA: handbells, badminton and wushu. This means the participating students who do well in these CCA can make use of it to apply for DSA.
It also depends on your son. Does he show interest in wushu and have the aptitude for it? U gotta see his personality and ability and gauge from there. Sometimes what we as parents want are not what the kids want. Distance plays a big part in my opinion, u are talking abt 6 yrs of to and fro commuting. Also, for all the effort, he might end up not being keen in wushu but smtg else. U can probably take up wushu outside as an enrichment too. -
Hi kikimama,
I was seen the sch but not for my boy. GY is actually under my 3rd choice but I did not reg under phase 2c bcos 1)my boy wants to go to the same sch as his kindergarten friends 2) worried GY does not hv sch bus to send him back
Hmm… Did not do my hw well dis time sigh!! If I don’t see CCA not sure whether the other factor play apart in the Trf now.
I wonder if any parents withdraw fr phase 2c and register in phase 3! Sigh -
If GY is yr 3rd choice n u hv a ready gotten into yr school of 2nd choice at ph 2c, near to yr Hse. Then stay in the school gotten at ph 2c. If ur kid doesn’t enjoy his p1 on the school, then transfer at end of p1. Cca can always be enrolled elsewhere not necessary from school.

Ok the 2nd reason is 2nd choice sch has lot of foreigner or INternational students. Due to the location and I oso some were send over to spore and study but parents. My concern is these IS psle may not be an impt exam in their life result in the teachers not willing to teach them since a matter of time they leave spore. Will dis pull down the standard of the sch. I did called sch recently and ask if next yr has hw many sc, pr and is. They did breakdown on the number so far ok but will dis affect the moral of the teacher if overall has more IS.
