Flyinggoddess:Hi parents, m in dilemma which to choose.
1) Chij Oln
- I like the single sex school but it's far from my house as I stay in punggol. It's either by school bus( ard 6.15am pick up) or public bus.
2) edgefield primary
- walking distance to my house.
3) waterway primary
- new school therefore no pressure. 2 LRT stops away
Hope to get some advises here. My first choice is CHIJ OLN under phase 2B. Buts still contemplating due to the distance.
:thankyou:
You may want to list down what are the factors and prioritize them. Some of the factors include
- Distance (too far)
- School bus pick up time (too early)
- History of the schools
- CCA that your child likes
- Single/dual session
- Preference of a proven school academic records.
- Student Care Centre (where applicable)
Your child will need to cope with the stress from homework, travel and time, hence you may need to evaluate and choose accordingly.
If your child can cope, I would advise entering the school under Phase 2B to avoid the stress of Phase 2C.
You may also want to check out the history of the Primary 1 registration for the respective schools.
