Hi all,
I am a parent with my daughter in the 2025 intake. Is there any whatsapp group for parents? Thanks!

Hi all I am new to this forum and parent with my girl in the 2025 intake. Is there a WhatsApp or telegram group for parents? Thanks!
Phase 2C results were done and dusted. After the announcement that MSHS (Primary) will go co-ed and expand the school capacity I always had that nagging curiosity; is demand within the locale of the school really rising?
so i had decided to crunch some data again. the rough and somewhat simplified assumption here is that phase 2c is a proxy of demand by proximity; with more dwellers within a locale demand for the school in phase 2c will go up
the table below shows number of applicants for phase 2c within the Bartley/Bidadari/Potong Pasir/ Hougang cluster. i chose this cluster to see the effect on demand from new HDB estates in Bidadari and Bartley
a152e95e-dd46-4910-98c8-d1a1fb46cf55-image.png
historically, PLMGS (Primary) always commanded strong demand being the only girls school and affiliation to PLMGS
St Andrew’s Junior comes in second in terms of demand as one of two boys school, i guess the higher demand is because of the affiliation from junior to secondary to jc which gives parents a peace of mind when it comes to handling their child’s progression
this is then followed by MSHS (Primary) a boys school which offers SAP and affiliation to MSHS
Cedar Primary bears the brunt of being within proximity of these schools which offers various programs and affiliation. unfortunately, while it bears the same name as Cedar Girls’ there is no affiliation between Cedar Primary and Cedar Girls’
the first batch of Bidadari BTO was launched in 2015 and completed in 2021, from the total applicants for these schools in phase 2c over the years it appears demand has indeed risen, hitting >400 applicants for the first time in the last 10 years (i don’t have data before 2015)
and it appears that this demand has not peaked as a walk around the Bartley and Bidadari estates will show that there are residential dwellings still being built
now i wonder how many more classes will be added when the school expands capacity. will we see another Nanyang Primary (390 annual intake)?

Hi Parents,
My child has just gotten a place in ACS J for 2025 and I’ve received an email from the school for my child’s student profile data. May I know what’s the exact purpose for the collection of my child’s learning behaviour? Are they going to group the children up base on their behaviour and abilities?
Secondary school tuition plays a vital role in helping students navigate the challenging academic landscape of secondary education.
As students transition from primary to secondary school, they encounter more complex subjects and a greater workload, which can sometimes be overwhelming. This is where secondary school tuition becomes essential.
Secondary school tuition provides personalized attention and tailored learning strategies to address each student’s unique needs.
Whether it’s reinforcing concepts in core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English, or providing advanced lessons for students aiming to excel, tuition helps bridge the gap between classroom teaching and individual understanding.
jackfood\" post_id=\"2135672\" time=\"1719497779\" user_id=\"146842:Perhaps u can email the owners of the ranking website(s) to ask what were the factors considered by them?
I understand that every school in Singapore is considered good. However, when it comes to ranking, many people focus on popularity and reviews, especially during the primary school registration period. As a parent, you naturally want the best for your child. I noticed that Cedar Primary, ranked in the 70s, has a 100% acceptance rate at Phase 2C. On the other hand, I'm also considering YangZheng Primary, which is ranked in the 30s.
I'm unsure what factors contribute to the rankings and why some schools are more popular than others. I'm concerned about making the right choice for my first child by selecting Cedar Primary, even though it’s close to our home in Bidadari. I worry about potentially missing out on a better school option, which will also affect the choice for my second child in the future.

changni\" post_id=\"2126710\" time=\"1704841709\" user_id=\"124253:We are near Yishun as well and was considering to waitlist at the nearby schools.
I will share my experience as a mom to a Sec 1 boy this year (graduated in 2023). Still have a P4 girl and youngest in nursery 2.
If you’re looking for a holistic environment that balances grades and overall character development, Rulang is definitely my choice. The commitment from teachers my boy has had is exceptional, and given a choice to choose again, it’s Rulang for sure.
We moved to Yishun two years back and continued to travel to the school. We managed to transfer my girl to a nearby popular school in her P3 year. After a year of having two kids in two different schools, I can only say the difference is clear, from the amount of commitment from teachers, planning of holistic development programmes, discipline, character and resilience building etc. Despite the distance, we are now back to Rulang in P4 and will be looking to move back so that my youngest can also be in Rulang.
I can never be thankful enough for the positive parent-teacher collaboration through my kid’s growth over the years.
After coming across your post, I will reconsider our plan especially when my child is happy with Rulang.
Greatly appreciate your review and it comes timely for us. Thank you!

Hi Rulang KiasuParents
Really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on what Rulang’s preparation of their P6’s is like. Also, do they need to stay back after school often during weekdays for additional/supplementary classes? When can we expect intensive preparation for PSLE to start? Thanks for your time and answers. -
Up till now, the school bus guy still never contact me…
Me changing from afternoon session to morning session next year…
I hope no screw up on 1st day… -

anyone has any recommendation for a good maths tutor? At P1, she's only getting 70 +.. i'm a bit worried as i heard the children will be \"streamed\" at the end of P2 based on their P2 results... thanks. -

Hi
Do you know which is her weakness topic?
At P1, it is basic + and -.
Are her mstakes mainly from problem sum or fundamentals or plain careless?
How is her approach towards maths? Cos if she resist at this point and you push on for Tution, it maybe worst.
Just my 2 cents -
Hi ttyh,
thanks for your message.
from her mid year paper, she seems to have problem with things like 'more than' / 'less than'. simple and direct ones, she can do. but if you change the qns a little, she gets lost. she associates more than with '+' and less than with '-'. And also, there problem sums which she is not able to fully comprehend.
Honestly, she was so disillutioned after the mid yr paper. her teacher actually told her right at her face that her maths is no good. she came home feeling so sad and asked me to find her a tutor. (p/s: i thot it was rather insensitive of the teacher to say that). i had a hard time trying to do damage control and assure her that she is ok.
since the 4th term, i managed to sign her up for maths class. the class was very small, with only 2 students. she likes the class and we actually see some improvement in her yr end papers. what we are most pleased is that she becomes more confident and not that negative. hence, i believe she needs more practices and having someone to guide her along the way, helping to clear her doubts .. sad thing is that the center closed down this dec. hence i'm looking out for tutor for her now.
i hate to say this, but sometimes, i feel that it may have to do with her age. you see, she is a dec kid, hence almost a yr younger than most of her friends in class, less matured and less confident. i just wish to help to boost her esteem and keep her going and not lose interst in maths.ttyh:

One quick way is you create 20-30 questions by yourself, all drilling on less than, more than.
On problem sum, no chocie, throw her assessment books.
But the key is mark her paper everyday after you come back so that you understand what went wrong and correct it.
Try \"daily life\" maths on her.
i.e. whenever I go shopping for gorcery with my ds on Sunday, it's always impromtu Maths. I will ask him \"what is 3 packets peas at $0.99 each? If I give $50 what is the change?
If 10 eggs cost $2.30, what is the cost for 1 egg?
or 500ml Knife Oil vs 1Liter Peanut Oil, which is more?\" -

May i know if anyone can help me with the above? My 2 DDs will be in P6 and P5 at Rulang next year and I am worried that my P6 DD may be stressed up with the academic rigours of the school. Many thanks for your time and advice. -
Can anyone advise beside the 1A textbooks that we need to bring on first day, what about the exercise books? I’ve bought the Chinese flashcards too and do we need to bring on first day as well? Thanks!

I seriously doubt one needs to bring all 1A textbooks on the first day of school. Teaching is unlikely on that day since a lot of admin work to be done.
