Compassvale Primary

[cucam]

Hi all,

I’m still considering whether I should try my luck at Compassvale Primary or Rivervale Primary at this coming P1 registration. Both will be under Phase 2C, so I have to choose either one of them. I’m within 1km for both schools.
anyone can enlighten me what are the strenght and weaknesses for Compassvale Primary that I should know about?
thanks so much for your input!

Hi, anybody has attended the orientation day at Compassvale previous years? I’ve registered my daughter there this year however we’re not in Spore on the Day. Can you tell with me what do they share on their orientation day (school tour/book sale/uniform sale/etc)? Is it worthed to cut short my holiday just to attend the orientation?

thanks so much!!

Hi All, I’m new to this forum… My elder son is currently 5 this year and am preparing for his registration as it’ll be next year… Just called Compassvale Primary and they told me that application is still open for kids born in year 2007… I have just submitted my PV application to Nan Chiau, but I think chances are low as I’m staying 1-2km away from the school…


I understand that NCPS will not accept any applications for anyone staying >1km away from the school for Phase 2C, therefore if my PV is rejected, there is absolutely no chance to get in…


I’ve basically shortlisted 2 schools should my PV application get rejected… They are Rivervale Primary and Compassvale Primary… I believe these 2 schools should be one of the better schools in Sengkang… Would there be a need to apply for PV should I go with Compassvale Primary?

And anyone can shed some light on the performance of the school in terms of academics and CCAs? I always believe there should be a balance between academics and CCAs like sports/music etc…

My last choice is to enrol my son in Sengkang primary, which is only one street across from my blk… And I think it should not be a problem getting into the school under Phase 2C Supp as it is not one of the popular schools…

You may try to call the school or go to it's website to find out. Some schools put up such info on their school website or notice board. Don't just look at 2011 PSLE result. It will be more accurate to base on past 3 years result.

Hi metalsubzero, I think you should become a PV of Rivervale to increase your chance of getting into the school. Base on past years history, if you are accepted by Rivervale, most likely you will get a place in that school. Your chance of getting into Compassvale Pri is good if you are within 1 km, even you are not a PV. I don’t think you get a chance to get into Nan Chiau, which is the most popular school in Sengkang. You have to be within 1 km in order to apply to be a PV. Last resort, join the Hokkien Huay Kuan in order to get into phase 2B, provided your hubby is a Hokkien.

the website of this school doesnot even show the result of 2011 PSLE achiever. they don’t entertain by calling the general office.

Does anyone know for next year (2013) P1, is it in afternoon session or morning session?


I called the school about 1-2 mths ago and was told it will be in afternoon session…
When I called again last week or so, they said they are not sure now…

Anyone have kids currently studying in this school who have any details to share? Thanks in advanced.
