Thank you for your responses. Really appreciate it! It does help me to sort out my thoughts as well.


Both my husband and myself are SC. Now we are still living abroad and plan to move back soon. Therefore we are trying to plan ahead. Trying to look for the school for my daughter first, and then move to within 1km.

I’ve chosen St. Nicks, because my friends who studied there spoke highly of their school, they are also strong and opinionated women. Below are the reasons why I prefer St. Nick (of course these are based on what my friends told me) in order of importance:
1. Cozy, self-motivated and driven studying environment with caring teachers and principal
2. Well-mannered and down-to-earth classmates
3. SAP is preferred as both my husband and myself are from SAP schools, and do think that Chinese culture is impt
4. Allow individuals to blossom in their own ways (teachers are willing to provide flexibility to allow individual to develop in their ways)
5. Strong school culture/spirit
6. Secondary school affiliation
7. Strong academic

If anyone is aware of any other schools which will be able to offer such qualities, please let me know! Definitely appreciate that.

Have stated River Valley because it’s within 1km of my parents’ place. Is it a good school? And how it is a good school? Look forward to your replies. Thank you!

Amongst the 6 schools u just listed, your best bet is ...

Paya Lebar Methodist Girls primary : provided u shift to within 1 km of PLMGS, assuming that your daughter is SC. PLMGS is a very good primary school. PLMGS have got a team of caring (Principal & staff).

The other two All-Girls-school, (St Nick & SCGS) : competition is intense ! Under (Phases 2B & 2C), St Nick (within 1 km) competition is far much more intensified than SCGS ( within 1 km ). Seats (vacancies) are hotly contested.

The other 3 schools are co-ed (Nanyang, River Valley, Ai Tong) primary. For co-ed schools, you know lah, with the presence of K2 boys coming in to compete, fight head-on with K2 girls for seats, competition even worse (terrible) ! I would avoid \"co-ed\" schools under 2C

Unless

I have gotten a first cherry bite attempt at an earlier Phase 2B (if possible). Otherwise, if is just one single attempt at Phase 2C alone (only), I won't even attempt popular, co-ed SAP primary schools.

SC : Singapore Citizenship

Thank you so much for your responses! Really appreciate the feedback. Is PLMGS culture more of a caring type? Allow the girls to develop their personalities and character? I’m actually most focused on this as my daughter has a strong personality.

I’m considering river valley primary school because my parents live within 1km of it. And heard it is a good school in the past, but uncertain if it remains so now. That’s why I’m asking for any feedback on this school.

Hi Experts, I am currently staying near River Valley and plan to serve in the GRC here. However, I would like to have my girl to attend St. Nicks. Can I continue to serve here first and get the status as an active community leader, and then move over to near St. Nicks when she is going to apply for primary school? Apparently that’s what my friend told me that is possible, however I am really uncertain about this. Will appreciate your advice on this. Thank you!

Below is a list of shortlisted primary schools for my girl, will appreciate it if anyone can please share your feedback on these schools. I am still trying to figure out where to go as the only alumni we have is Maria Stella, which doesn’t really work for us. And we really want to look for a school with great school culture. Our preferred choice is (1) St Nicholas girl’s school - understand that if we aren’t alumni, the chances are very slim, but how about within 1km?


Below are our other options which we are considering:
2. Singapore Chinese girl’s school
3. Paya Lebar Methodist girl
4. River Valley Primary school
5. AiTong primary school
6. Nanyang Primary school - know this is a top school but i am afraid that it’s too stressful

Or any other girls’ school which anyone can recommend for us to consider? Your feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
