ChiefKiasu:

Yes, most new parents tend to over emphasize on getting a \"good\" Primary school. It doesn't take very long before we realize that the more \"good\" the school, the more kan cheong we are in trying to ensure our children can do well in it. It's tough being a KiasuParent, isn't it?

You're rite! That's why I prefer a 'normal' neighbourhood school, hopefully my girl can fit in as an average kid :lol:

My kids are currently learning swimming from a private instructor, so far so gd. At least my girl's not so afraid of water anymore. Used to be a chore just washing her hair.


Hi Vividlaurel,

Any idea what time's the orientation on 21 Nov?

Classes that my kids go to are: Swimming, Taekwando, CMA & Lollipop (art sch). CMA's the only academic-related sch that they go to. Just want them to enjoy themselves with non academic-related stuff b4 they start primary one, when they will be loaded with homework & classes

Hi Kiasi-dad,

Hv u receive the confirmation ltr yet? I've not...Just wondering whether the rest receive it or not.

Hi, I'm new to Kiasuparents and hv just posted in the Newbies thread for a short intro of myself :lol:


I've not received any letter yet but think my girl should be in cos' we're within 1km and according to the latest moe website http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/balloting/, only those staying within 1-2km needs balloting.

Anybody knows when's the orientation going to be? Kan cheong now cos' dono how to prepare her for primary one next year
