Chongfu Primary

CFS generally is rather a good school in Yishun. However, the standard dropped few years back…since some of the better teachers either retired or transferred out.

Those days, the better teachers (first 2 classes P5/6) were really very "pushy" in term of academic…and students did very well in PSLE.
These 2-3 years back… PSLE results are not really fantastic.

Depends on what you value the most in the entire process. By the way, historically phase 2B and < 1km, confirm can get into CFS without balloting. Ai Tong standard is higher I think but CFS is nearer your house. Either way if your son is going to a rather good school so unless you think he can be the top student in Ai tong, otherwise I see no problem why CFS is not the choice school instead since it is much nearer.

Hi ,
Thanks for your advice..Just want to know when you mentioned historically confirm under phase 2B and<1km, So does it means this also provided that PV is needed also?So stressful as I am full working mother and if not wrong CF require 60 hrs of PV and that was alot compare to others which need to clock 40 hrs ?

Hi Mummies of CFS,


I am new here as planning for my DS’s future… Though he is just 4 this year… Everyone around me kept asking me to start looking out. And here I am…

I am ex-student of CFS and working in Yishun (just opp CFS) but staying in Sengkang now. So am thinking to move to Yishun and enroll him into CFS in future.

I have a couple of questions to ask and need advises. Hope all the experienced mummies can help me. TIA!

1. I heard that we need documentations to prove that we are the ex-students of CFS i.e; Report book. I tried searching high and low for it and could not locate it at the moment. Just wondering if there is any other ways of proving? I have the class photo of Pri 6, not sure if it’s help.

2. For being ex-students of CFS, which phase will I fall under? Is it high chance to get in?

3. Is CFS a very academic school as like what i have heard. Are the students there very stress?

I think that’s all for now!

Thank you Mummies and have a nice day!

Regards,
KK’s Mummy

Hi, I was asked to go for CF PV meeting next Wed for my son 2014 Pri enrollment.


Has anyone go for this kind of meeting b4? Going for this meeting does it means that I definitely be chosen for PV?

What kind of questions will they ask or what is this meeting for?

As I m staying more than 2km away fm CF, what is the chances of doing PV?

If I m chosen to do PV, I know that I still hv to go thru balloting, hence what is my chances of getting in?

Can anyone kind mummies pls help out in the queries above?

[gretel]

Hey bluemon did you go to the PV briefing in the end? What does it talk about can you share? Mummies here, the recent change whereby priority is given to citizens do you think there’ll be a drop out of PV applictions by citizens? since now they have a higher chance? the past balloting results will not be so accurate with the change in law… your thoughts? as i’m also trying to get my child into chongfu but didn’t get selected for PV (wondering what’s their criteria?!) so hope to try luck with the change in law…might get better chances for singapore citizens… sigh!

DD says parents are to write comments in the Holistic Report (yellow form). Has anyone done that already? Comment on what? My DD's behaviour or her teacher's comments about my DD. If it is for my DD, how would I know how she behaves in class? :? :?:

[rykiel]

How you consider stressful? There is homework everyday and they teach higher Chinese since P1.
