Hi,


our daughter (SPR) is due to start Primary School in 2013. We want to put here in a local school. We attended a seminar by MOE but still there are a lot of questions. For us her academic results are important but her personality even more. We dont want her to be pressured into something teachers want her to be. So my questions are:

- Which schools are looking more towards the overall development of the children and not so much on the academic results? Should we look for an autonomous school - not a true blue government school?

- Some of the govt aided schools teach only Chinese and have the SAP program. Should we avoid them for our Ang Moh kid?

- We have a shortlist of schools (East Coast / Siglap): East CHIJ (KATONG) PRIMARY, East ST. HILDA’S PRIMARY SCHOOL, TEMASEK PRIMARY SCHOOL , TELOK KURAU PRIMARY SCHOOL. It seems that it is very difficult to get into St. Hildas and Temasek. Any comments on our choice of schools?

Thanks a lot! Karin
