Hello everyone,


I see many comments where the abbreviation 'DS' was used. May I know what does that mean?

Thanks in advance.

i am in a dilemma now. Lets say i have equal chance in getting into SHPS and Poi Ching. But Poi Ching is just opposite my block, while i have to take feeder bus to SHPS. And SHPS is moving to temp school in Bedok on 2013 ans 2014.

Which school should i choose? My girl is not the extremely gifted type. Is SHPS more academically stressful than Poi Ching? I know SHPS is very popular but is it more suitable for my girl?

Any parents in singapore (including myself) are dying to put our child in this kind of branded school, but it is our child who will be in the school studying there for the rest of his/her 6 years of their life. So choosing the school that suit our child is very important. And primary school now is not like primary school our time, start by primary 1 already, they have so many activity, so choosing school which is near to our house is also a bonus to our child. All school in singapore is a good school, it is etiher popular and unpopular school. Just my humble taught.

Thank you for your kind advise. Both schools are very near convenient for me. Only that Poi Ching is super super convenient, super near to my block. But it's a SAP school, I understand that higher Chinese is compulsory (correct me if i am wrong, please). And i can't understand chinese.
