Hi All,


I'm a FTWM staying at Buangkok having 2 little rascals, aged 4 (girl) and 2 (boy) respectively.
Scratching my head over the schools to put the kids in too...

But keen to learn a lot more from the all the experienced daddies and mummies here...

Hi All,


Can anyone give any feedback on Temasek Pri? There doesn't seem to be much discussion about the school. I'm trying to make a comparison between Temasek Pri and Hougang Pri. My hubby is an old boy at Temasek Pri. We live wthin 1km of Hougang Pri.

So any guidance? Trying to find out more before deciding on what school to place my kids...

Thanks in advance....

Hi All,


I have been following this forum for quite some time to gain knowledge on Pri 1 registration. My girl is born in 2006. So now, I'm deciding what school I would like to register her in.

I am within 1km to Hougang Pri. However, my husband is an old boy at Temasek Pri (Bedok South). So now, I am in a dilemna to decide if I want to enrol her in Temasek Pri under Phase 2A2 when the time comes or to do PV for Hougang Pri and register her under Phase 2B. :scratchhead:

Any advice from the Kiasu Parents here? It will be greatly appreciated.

Both schools do not have affiliated sec sch. Both are good sch given their past academic records. However, if u are staying near HPS, it might be better to do PV at HPS. 40 hrs of contribution is still better than 6 years of long travelling time for your gal.

Just to share with you, I regretted my decision to give up the PV at HPS. IM staying more than 2km fr HPS thus if no PV means no chance at all.

Luckily we still manage to register DD in a sch which we like but of course it is much further.

Just my 2cents worth. You still have time. Consider carefully. Good luck!

Hi Cantbearit2,

Thanks for your prompt reply. If we decide to go for Temasek Pri, hubby and I are thinking to shift closer to the school when the time comes. The logistic problem is more for my boy who will still be in childcare.

There are a few factors that we are deciding of course:
1) Which school is better? Hougang Pri or Temasek Pri?
I called up Temasek Pri requesting for a visit, but was rejected due to security reasons. The next open house for the school is in 2012, when my girl is due to register.
I have visited Hougang Pri. It felt like a normal primary school to me. I saw the kids laughing, having fun during recess time. Talked to the teacher a bit who guide me about the PV program. She commented that the school results are getting better due to the cohort of students they are having. Their emphasis is a lot on other activities and CCA too. They believed in character building with academic advancement.

2) A few of my colleagues that I talked to said that they would choose Temasek Pri as I can get in at Phase 2A2. It will be more hassle free. I'm just wondering if Temasek Pri is worth for us to make the move?
I have been thinking about upgrading my place... cos it's getting rather crowded... my 2 brothers are staying with us too... so it's getting a little cramped... Just that I have very nice neighbours... it's like a little kampong at my place there and it's really nice to have neighbourly support when you need it....
So it's a huge dilemna... sigh...

Why is Pri 1 registration such a big headache??
