Beacon Primary

[tauruswhite]

Hi all,


I just received a letter from MOE yesterday that my son is offered a place for P1 at beacon primary school. I am happy to find this forum of parent’s networking from beacon. So hope that we can get in touch. I believe your input On your experience with beacon will help me a lot to adapt with the p1 in Singapore since this is the only son i have and so excited to see him entering P1 at local school.

I am living at bukit batok and wondering whether any parent come from bukit batok as well?

I read this school is a bit new, just recently officially open in 2010.

However i am interesting with CCA available such as robotics, wushu etc.

Welcome to Beacon.!

we were just offered a place at Beacon too. We will be traveling from Jurong East. I have no idea how we will do that …


Did P1 orientation day already pass?
What is the extent of the school bus service? We are some 14 kilometers away from the school.

We plan to visit the school on Monday to register.

Hi.! Dalila,


You may want to contact Ling Wei Transport Service to ask whether they have the route to your place.

Thank you concerndad…


I contacted the operator school bus, unfortunately no route from bukitbatok to beacon.

My husband trid the following route: bb-mrt bukit gombak-mrt choachukang-LRT bangkit-walk for ard 300m, it takes ard 45 minutes.

A bit troublesome, i feel pity for my kid, he has to wake up very early then.

Anyway, despite of the distance and troublesome on the transportation, we are still happy and excited to enroll our kid to beacon. Hope that we can make friends with parents from beacon.

@dalila: there will be an orientation for P1 this saturday, 21 Nov. Hopefully you have been contacted by school regarding this coming orientation.
The registration start at 8am and the event will be until 1pm.
