Hi everyone


Any updates on this school? Doesn’t seem to be much talked about it on the forum.
I live in the 2km radius and considering this school for my son for P1 2020 intake.

Any information about the school culture will be much appreciated.
Cheers

Thank you @Zac’s mum. Decision weighing heavily more in terms of where he will get space. Not so much on what is a "good school".


Cheers

All points much appreciated @floppy


I have been studying balloting history since I joined this forum and yes you are right about not taking a chance with a school that traditionally goes to the ballot.
So indeed the decision weighs heavy.

Thanks again.

Hi everyone


Newbie to the website. Wonderful insight on all groups.

Have some questions for below schools for my son’s P1 registration for 2020 intake.
We are PR and will apply in phase 2C, I did not do any PV, and we have 3 schools in less than 1km radius:

1) St Andrews - they have said if no PV and PR then chances very low. Is this true?
2) Bendemeer Primary - No open house to judge school culture. Any advice on reputation / perception of school?
3) Hong Wen - same as St Andrews have said if no PV and PR and not chinese then no point in applying. Is this correct?

In the 1 - 2km radius we have below school:
Cedar Primary - they have no open house so hard to judge school culture. Any advice on reputation / perception of school?

More than 2km radius option:
Tanjong Katong Primary - going back to main campus in 2020. Open house revealed single session and reduced number of seats. Any advice on whether worth trying for this in 2C given we dont stay close by? We will be happy to move once my son is in though.

Any advice / tips are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Will be great to get some feedback / info -


1) Is there any open house for Cedar Primary for 2019 P1 registration exercise?
2) Any general feedback on the school for newbie parents in 2km circle for school?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Everyone


I am a newbie here and have spent a long time reading through most of the posts discussing choices of school and the process on this forum.
Thank you to each and everyone for the information shared. Very helpful indeed.

My son will be going for P1 2020 intake and we are considering TKPS or Cedar Primary for him.
We are Singaporean PR and want a balanced co-ed school for him.

Will be very grateful for any advice from the experts

TKPS Questions:
1) I believe the school will move to the old / newly furbished campus in Jan 2020. Is this still the plan or will 2020 P1 children go to the current campus?

2) We are not in the Marine Parade GRC and wondering what are the chances for us in P2C?

3) What is the general reputation for this school - academically and CCA wise?

4) Is the student ratio a true mix of nationalities and backgrounds as their website suggests?

Cedar Primary Questions:
1) I believe the school is meant to merge with MacPherson Primary this year. Has that happened or will it take place in 2020?

2) We live in the Bendemeer area and come in the 1 - 2 km radius for this school and wondering what are the chances for us in P2C?

3) What is the general reputation for this school - academically and CCA wise?

4) What is the student ratio like?

Thank you so much in advance!

I believe the school will move to the old / newly furbished campus in Jan 2020.
Even though we are not in the Marine Parade GRC we will the school distance will be a small price to pay for a good fit.

I will be very grateful for any responses to this post regarding the below questions:

1) How is the current spirit in the school in relation to the teachers attitude and response to the students?

2) Is the student ratio a true mix of nationalities and backgrounds as their website suggests?

3) Are the CCAs still a balanced focus along with academics?

4) Anyone can share the bus operators number so we can check our distance accurately (we are in the Bendemeer area)

5) Are the chances for PR still comfortable in the 2C stage?

6) Will the school be a single session school in 2020?

Thank you so much in advance!

Any thoughts on Cedar Primary given that it is expanding?


Thanks in advance.
