Hi
I am one of those first batch going to move to Bidadari estate. As i am new to the area and new singaporean i believe for a girl, cedar primary would be the nearest option? Both husband and i are working too, so we will be putting our girl at student care. Is there any recommendation for student care from expert? Thanks a bunch

It is very comforting to see this post. My son just enters P1 this year at Cedar Primary, hope he will enjoy.
No, there isn't any red cross in Cedar primary.There isn't any uniform groups in Cedar.phtthp:
Is there Red Cross cca, at Cedar primary ?
Which week-day & time ?
Since the thread's more or less dead now, I thought since I've graduated from Cedar recently, I could share what I know with any parents who wants to know about the school through this thread. To be fair, I wasn't the talented ones so I can't really share any personal experience about Cedar's talent management model, though I do have two close friends who were involved (two of the girls whose pictures are put up on the website)
For CCAs, there really isn't much of a choice. There were about 10 CCAs (which is a lot for a small school like Cedar) with two being invitation-only CCAs (unless you're invited to join them, you're not allowed to join that CCA.). I joined the infocomm club when it was created in 2016.
For the teachers teaching there, I must say without them, I would not have done as well in my PSLE (though my score wasn't really high) I took up higher chinese since primary two. For my primary five and six's higher chinese teacher, I felt that she really made me do the best I could for my higher chinese examination although I did not study for that subject during PSLE.
Everyone's primary five and six's higher chinese teacher will be the same so long as the teacher I'm talking about does not retire. For primary five, she would continuously let us write compositions during extra classes and it really worked, my results were a lot higher at the end of the year compared to the start of the year. At primary six, that was when things got a little tough. She would make us memorize 2 A4 pages of composition and then let us write it out word for word. I really hated it. But it also worked!
I was that kid who didn't study for any of her tests but fortunately, thanks to the help from all of my teachers, (especially primary five and six's teachers, because my results improved a lot from primary four. i was borderline passing all of my subjects except chinese in primary four.) I did better than I expected.
My memories of my friends in Cedar are definitely memorable. Somehow, I mingled with the smart kids so I always ended up ranking last among them. I am very glad that they did not make fun of me (because some smart kids would do so) but instead, helped me. It doesn't feel good to be called dumb just because my results weren't ideal.
Overall, I felt that Cedar was a good school for me. Although I will be moving on to secondary school now, I will definitely not forget my mother school.
For my cohort, I think 2 girls (in my friends group) went to Cedar girls, 1 went to RGS, there was one girl who scored 267 but I do not know where she is right now, 2 girls & me went to chung cheng high main & 3 boys went to victoria.
Sorry for the long post! :imsorry: -

My kid also in Cedar. Compared to other schools, the intake in past few years have been small, about 100 - 120 students per year because of the low population density in the school's vicinity. I would say this school has a small town atmosphere and each class size is 30, which is small compared to the popular schools. This means the teachers have more time to observe each kid and identify problems early, which is good. Being next to Sennett Estate and Cedar Girls also means the surroundings has fewer undesirable temptations and influences.
The downside of being small is that there will be fewer top students by virtue of numbers. In big schools with say 400 students per cohort, top 10% of cohort is 40 students, which is more than enough to form a class. However in Cedar, top 10% is exactly 10 students, cannot even form a class. Depends on your view, this can be positive because the top students will have more opportunities to interact with friends of wider range of academic capabilities and hopefully help develop better EQ. I understand that last few years' PSLE performance is slightly above singapore's average, so I am not worried about teachers' ability to manage a broader range of academic capabilities in each class.
Going forward, merger with Macpherson Primary is happening next year and the new HDB town will significantly increase the school size in coming years. The small town feel will be missed by some, though this will certainly mean a new chapter for the school. I hope the school will retain the smaller class size if MOE allows. -
