Edgefield Primary
-
Hi Kathong,
I’m same as you. Thinking to register my daughter at Edgefield but not make up my mind. Could you pls share with me why you want to register yr son at this school? Did u consider the new school like Punggol View and Punggol green or even Mee Toh?
2011 PSLE:
Subject Edgefield (National)
Eng 99.6 ( 97.7)
Math 83.2 (84.2)
Chinese 96 (97.3)
Science 88.2 (90.5) -
Hi…
My first choice was Mee Toh… Cos i would like my son to be in a buddhist school. But i was not in time to do PV. So, my hope for mee toh is gone…
As for Edgefield, it is very near my hse as i stay near to SPC area.
My neighbour’s daughter used to be in edgefield told me it is a good school. the result is better as compared to mee toh.
Edgefield has a wide range of CCA which i think is also good for my kid.
How about you?? what make you choose edgefield?? -
Hi Kathong,
:D....actually I also thinking of Mee Toh, but at 2C think the chances are slim. I haven't decided should enroll at Edgefield or not as I'm also considering Punggol View. In term of result I think still Mee toh slightly better if based on 2011 PSLE. Anyway, result is not my main concern. I like Mee Toh has teaching student \"di zhi que\" and more emphasize on character building.
So the 2 new schools in punggol not in yr consideration list?
Read some \"not so good\" comments on Edgefield in this thread also make me abit worry should I choose Edgefield.
headache....... -
Not really considering the new school… My next choice is Horizon.
Edgefield and horizon both have their own student care. this is my considering factor too…
What make you consider new school?
Let not worry too much… -
Your neighbour’s daughter study at Edgefield? She like the school? Any comments on the teacher? I actually went to the breakfast with principle last wk. Everything look ok but just that their student care is using their current classroom for the student and may not have enough student care to cater all student.
I went to the road show for the new school too. What make me considering new school is because everything is new. The student get to enjoy the new facilities and get more attention frm the teachers as they only have P1. Both schools will have student care as well.
With the new MOE rules I’m thinking most singaporean with eventually get to enroll all their kids to Mee Toh and Edgefiled or Horizon. Will that mean the new school will have more PR and foreigner? -
Hi
my neighbour’s daughter used to be from edgefield. she is o level already…
you went for the breakfast with the principal? how was it? i missed it. i have a meeting so did not attend last minute. how is the school environment? can you share your findings?
I do agree with you on the new facilities and nice enviroment… and also on PR and foreigner issue… I’m quite concern about this too. -
So far the principle look friendly. They do not have compulsory CCA for P1 and P2. No exam and no homework to bring home. They do have some exercise at school but usually should be able to finish at school, and bite size assessment to test for the kid at school. Actually I think this is standard and same to most of the primary school example mee toh and the 2 new schools.
The school seem clean and nice. Student care will roughly cater 50 places for P1 student. The kid will have their lunch at canteen and shower at the school and sleep at the current classroom (using sleeping mat). They quite emphasize on dancing, every level will get to learn different dance. eg:cha cha. I guess thru this dancing can build up student confident, social skill and respect. He mention they will have a graduation ball dance for P6 student. Every student is looking forward to attend it as they will dance at the actual ball room.
Based on previous balloting result, they normally only able to accept student stay within 1km.
Another reason why I consider the new school is because their school timing is start at 8am instead of 7:20am. Maybe we can send msg to each other to share more infor on this. As I guess this is not a good idea to discuss PR and foreigner issues here

Hi All mommy,
I’m new here. My dd is in P2J (2012). Just finished SA2 but I think she dnt do well. Anyone can share how to get a P2 kid to do homework on her own. As she is still very playful. Memory also very poor. Especially Eng & MT (CL). -
