Hi,


Any parents out there have experience sending their kids to iMAN Kindergarten & Childcare at Pasir Ris or any of their other branches? Would like to know your views on the school, teachers & environment in general.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting this question but I'd appreciate all the opinions you parents have. Pls redirect me if i've posted in the wrong thread..


My 1st is gonna attend his P1 next year & I have narrowed down to 3 schools.

Tanjong Katong Primary
Reason being - Dad is an old boy., therefore Direct entry. Their sports activities entice us plus our boy is more of an outdoor person. Our boy has shown interest in Golf recently & the school has that as CCA.

Hougang Primary
Reason being - Their close proximity to our 2nd's childcare centre. Plus they have a student-care which our 1st can attend before/after school. Teachers from the childcare centre can fetch our boy when he finishes school. HPS fantastic array of outdoor activities/expeditions is very enriching as well. Would make his 6 years in school an enjoyable experience. However, spoke to the teacher from HPS, about 40 applicants were not succesful last year.

North Vista Primary
Reason being - Brand new. Prob no balloting is required. Opening hours at 8am is perfect. No rush in the mornings.

We live in Punggol Field & we fall nowhere near the 1km range of these schools, therefore our chances are narrowed, specially for Hougang Primary.

We're both working parents and we have actually checked for a transport that could fetch/send if supposedly we were to go for TKPS. If we were to choose HPS, is it too late to find a house near HPS now & I'm really unsure if its a good idea to move closer.

Currently none of the pirmary schools in Punggol area attracts us.

Hi Moms & Dads!


Thanks for all the replies & suggestions. Will need to do my recce-ing & visit the schools personally before can decide if the childcare is good for my todd. Mabbe might see Pocky7C at the open house if we happen to go at the same time!

Thanks Moms & Dads for all the replies.


TKPS is one of my options as my kids wouldn't need to go through balloting coz dad is a former student (from before the merger) & that saves the stress we parents have to go through. However, of coz, choosing a primary sch is critical... cant leave things to chance. Still a bit of time left to decide on a sch for my kiddos. Wish all parents the best of luck in getting the sch of your choice! :celebrate:

Hi, there’s not much written on Tanjong Katong Primary. The school website does show a couple of good achievements both academically & non-acedemincally. Appreciate if the parents from TKPS could write-up a bit on TKPS. I’m interested coz firstly I like the fact that the sch is in a good neighbourhood, there’s good balance between sports & acedemic within the school & it has a good international mix. It would be interesting growing up & having friends from around the globe.

Does anyone know of any good childcare in these East areas? My kid is turning 2 this June.

I'm a former student from Haig Boys primary which has now merged into Tanjong Katong Primary. Can I be considered as a former student? Will I be considered under Phase 2A2 or do I have to go through balloting?

You will need to check with the school to confirm. There is a good chance they will accept your case.

Loads of thanks Chief!
