We are just a staying opposite Compassvale Primary sch so quite natually this was our 1st choice. Nan Chiau and Rivervale are both within 1KM. We had missed two of the North Vista Pri Sch open house however North Vista is still one of our choice. But we are 1.1Km away


We will be registering under Phrase 2C for our DS next week. I am still unsure to register on the 1st day or to wait and see till last day :?: To wait and see if there are any places left for the 3 nearer school?? or just go ahead and register at North Vista on day one??

IMHO, North Vista should still have places after Phase 2C but for Rivervale and Nan Chiau, sure to need balloting at Phase 2C. Why don't you try the popular one/preferred one then if ballot out then try the less popular one(which most likely will still have places).

But that's just my personal opinion...

Have a look at last year statistic, compassvale, rivervale and nan chiau all need balloting at phase 2C...

He said we dont teach grammr as 'Mary has a dog', they do write-ups so they learn from there. Quite worried how our child would be adequately equipped with the foundation if there is no systematic syllabus. Means we have to keep watch very tightly and make up ourselves if anything were to fall thru the cracks ?

Is he talking about the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1986&start=0 programme? If so, nearly all schools are adapting this programme. I almost got a shock 3 days prior to my P1's SA1 when i realised that he did not understand 'he eats; they eat' type of questions. Without systematic syllabus (textbook etc), it's pretty difficult for parents to follow and catchup. But we'll just has to make do and try to pick out the kid's weakness through usage of assessment books.
JMHO.

I think should be Reggio-Emilia approach.

\"Modeled after the Reggio-Emilia approach to education, North Vista Primary School is involving the communities to help build the school of the future. It is the first and only Reggio-inspired primary school in Singapore. \"

For me, I am really tempted as its single session and also got a BASC within the school compound..BUT...will also doubt whether this italian aproach will prepare the kids for PSLE?

I am also finding a hanyu pin yin class for my K2 girl, any good recommendation?


Is Beijing Language School good?
