[quote=\"enirac\"]my kids have just been transferred to Griffiths Pri this year... the new Principal was a VP of Rosyth and Tampines Pri.. i hope she brings some changes to increase the popularity and academic standing of the sch

Hi, may i know what you mean by your \"kids just been transfered to Griffiths Pri\"... Is is you ask for transfer or the sch transfer them. Before that what school does your kids attend to. And may i know, does Griffith Pri has student care in their school?

My elder boy was in TKPS and we moved to Tampines last year Nov. so i requested for MOE to assist to transfer them to another sch in Tampines area. Griffiths was the only sch which had vacancy and accepted them. Initially i was rather upset with myself for putting up the transfer request. But I hope it's a blessing in disguise with the new Principal onboard.

During the first day of sch when she gave a speech about what to expect from the sch, her slides shows students with different uniforms! I googled then found out that she was ex-VP of Rosyth and Tampines Pri. I guess she probably brought along some activities from her prev schools?

Yes, Griffiths has student care in their schhol.[/quote]Oh i see.... My daughter is in TPS. Yes the principal is very good. Quite sad when i found out she has transfer to Griffith primary.

Hi , can anyone advise us on which school to choose between SHPS and Tampines Primary ? We are singaporean and staying withing 1 km of both schools. Knowing that the chances are really slim in getting into SHPS due to balloting , is it advisable to try our luck ?

As per last year registration, both SHPS and Tampines primary goes on balloting for phase 2c. Let say if this year both schools need ballot for that phase, and you decide to register your child in SHPS, and after ballot in SHPS you didn't get in, you may lose Tampines primary too. And you have to register to any school which still have vacancy which may not be in your within 1km. But if this year Tampines Primary do not have balloting, then you are save, you can register to this school under phase 2C supplementary. You have to decide and plan ahead too. This is just a scenario for you to see. But i wish you best of luck in either of the school. cheers...

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.

We are Permanent Residents living within 1km of St.Hilda's. Is there any chance for our DD to get admission in Phase 2C?

Frankly speaking, with the new ruling, you can safely omit this school from your list. Singapore Citizens staying 1-2 km will take up whatever places left, if any.

Ya, after the new ruling came up, not only St hilda's, any other popular school also no chance. Under this Phase 2C, even singaporean also very difficult to get in.

TPS is doing a survey to have student care. For me i'm glad and hopefully it can be done.

Really? When will the Student Care be in operation? Any idea of who is the operator of the Student Care?

not sure when will it be operated and who is the operator. We just received the form to do the survey. Maybe if there is max student opt for it, they might consider to start operating the student care. I hope it can be done. I prefer the student care be close to the school, as now my daughter student care is far away.

BTW, anyone kid who is in TPS primary 1 got their kid name tag. I have not receive mind although i have paid for it before the school open. :roll:

Dear Chief Master and Parents,


Would anyone be able to comment on whether Gongshang or White Sands Pri is better academically? Any comments on the teachers and environment?

My husband is an ex-student of Gongshang and I stay within 1 km of White Sands Pri.

Thanks.

Definitely Gongshang. Your husband being an ex-student, easy admission.
