Dear parents, need some advice. My DS is 7 years old. We went to the neighborhood optician to check my son’s eyesight and they say he has 75 degrees astig in both eyes. We are worried that if we let him wear glasses now, his eyesight will deteriorate very fast. We are thinking of getting a second opinion. Is there any good eye doctor to recommend? Thank you

phtthp:

go back to Catholic High primary, got good affliated Secondary school awaiting your son. He can have peace of mind studying there, for next 10 years, from Primary 1 until Sec 4.

The standard of Catholic High, is also academically higher than that of Princess Elizabeth.

since your husband is an alumni (means Phase 2A(1)) :
no need to shift house, whatsoever.
You can call up school now, confirm if school bus go your house.

after checking, if school bus arrive your house at 5.30 am that type of timing (means your son have to wake up at 5 am, to get ready for school), consider drop Catholic High. Reason ?
Your family will find it hard to \"tahan\", wake up everyday for next 6 to 10 years, at 5 am. Then, just enrol him into Princess Elizabeth.
But, if school bus fetch your son around 6.15 or 6.30 am timeframe, then is ok, go back Catholic High.
it makes a world of difference : between waking up 5 am daily, vs. waking up half an hour later to 1 hr later, every day, in the long Term.

But, if after checking, no school bus go your area : then, just enrol him into Princess Elizabeth (Bukit Batok), nearby your house. Unless you or your spouse have car, can transport him to school every morning for the next 6 years, on your way to work, come rain or shine everyday. Or unless you shift nearer to Catholic High. If stay nearer to school, school bus fare also cheaper.

the timing of the school bus, fetching your child : is crucial, over next 6 long years ahead, including transport for CCA days.

for children born 2009 onwards :
CCA become part of the New Psle Banding assessment evaluation criteria

This is also the time, to compare & contrast what CCAs are available in Catholic High, vs. Princess Elizabeth, for your son to choose from.

Thank you phtthp for your advice. There is school bus but very early... We are now leaning towards Catholic High Primary... will have to see how the property market goes in the next couple of months...

My boy is born in Nov 2011. My husband is an alumni of both Catholic High Primary (Bishan) and Princess Elizabeth (Bukit Batok). We currently live in Bukit Batok but am considering whether to move to Bishan if we decide to enroll boy in Catholic High Primary... any comments about the two schools?
