Poi Ching

[rolexrolex]

Hi


I am the reverse of you both. I am staying in Tampines area and alumni of Pei Chun Public School. In the end I gave up Pei Chun factoring the traffic conditions and travelling everyday and joined Poi Ching in Tampines and my DS is happy there.

Hi ivylock and snowbell,
If I were u, I'll just enrol my kid in Pei Chun or chij instead, unless you're moving to the East, if not your kid is going to suffer for the next 6 years. My P3 in Poi Ching stay back almost everyday in school due to her chinese dance.

Pei chun usually phase 2c won’t hv space, I won’t choose chij cos my no 2 is a boy… Sigh.


Maybe I will be the chauffeur…

Also, check whether got school bus service fetch your dd from Toa Payoh to Poi Ching primary (in Tampines), and school bus charges per month (1 way or 2 ways.)

In case sometimes you not free to fetch your dd to school on certain days, still need to rely on school bus, throughout (P1 to P6).

[snowbell]

Yes. Pei Chun very difficult to get in phase 2c and chij is out of 2km. I am thinking of sending my girl to poi ching and get her take sch bus back. But not sure if sch bus comes to potong pasir. Anyone has sch bus contact? I am also worry when she in higher primary and needs to stay back late in sch. Will the sch bus still willing to send her home ?

Hi there,


May I know if the school bookshop is the only place to purchase the Yun Yu textbook/activity book? I called the school and the staff mentioned that the Yun Yu reading pen is only available for purchase during the MTP session. Any other options for purchasing the books and pen?

May I know if Robert Transport is still the bus vendor as that was posted rather early in the forum. Does anyone’s DD/DS take the school bus from Toa Payoh? If yes, may I have the contact please?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,


I would like to get the Chinese YUN YU workbook/activity books for P1 and P2. I don’t mind used copies. Pls PM me if willing to sell. I am flexible with meet-up timing and location.

Thanks!

I would support registration for P1 for 2009 intake is this year in Jul-Sep right?


I actually live right within 1km of St Hilda, and like everyone here, i would love to place my kid there.

however, i have also shortlisted Poiching as another choice…

I would like to seek advise, should I go for St Hilda’s or just skip and go for PoiChing?

I’m afraid that even though I live nearby St Hilda, I might not get the slot and end up in some duno-what school and even lose Poiching as a choice.

What would you parents do in this situation?
Both SHPP and PoiChing are within 1 KM of my residence…

Looking forward to hearing from all of you! thanks!

I went for PCS because of its SAP environment. SHPP performance are mainly due to her GEP intake. I have got 4 nephews from there as their mums were old girls, and frankly i'm not impressed with the school.

Above are my frank view only.
