Alexandra Primary

[Fi fi]

Dearkids:

hong:

anyone planning to send your child to APS?

Yes,I'm sending my dd to APS under 2C

Me too. sending my girl to APS. Am with 1-2KM under 2C. Hopefully don't need ballot and get a placement :xedfingers:

[MMM]

hong:

let me rephrase a bit.

\"renowned principal from MBPS\" to \"principal from renowned primary school\"

My kids are from MBS. While Mrs Lim didn't build MBS from scratch and MBS was \"popular\" since 1970's, I personally like Mrs Lim for the following :
* She focuses the resources on weak students. In MBS, the class size for weaker students are much smaller. This allows the teachers to focus on them. On the other hand, those stronger ones are also not deny of support to do well.
* I suppose she is the type of principal who will allow the child to go on standard module unless there is really no choice but to do foundation subjects. So from this perspective, her thought is more for the child than the school \"reputation\"
* Very supportive principal. When my kids have SYF, she went with them on competition day. In fact, my ds recalled fondly that she was sitting beside him and asked him not to be so uptight. Coming back with victory, Mrs Lim and the other teachers lined up to welcome the kids back. The kids definitely felt valued.
* On rainy days, you will see Mrs Lim and VP standing at the gate helping to shelter the kids.
* Many a times, I see those ex students coming back to pay her a visit. This tells alot about the type of principal she is.
* When kids go on overseas trip, she is always there to send them and fetch them. This is regardless of time.

So yes, Mrs Lim will definitely be missed by my kids. I believe the students in Alexandra are truly lucky to have her.

I dunno who's Mrs Lim except she's from Maha Bodhi but I do agreed with u regarding her values both the weak & strong student(I heard this from some mummies out there) therefore,I'm giving it a shot to register my dd tmr even though I'm staying more than 2km away :xedfingers:
Pray hard !
