Could anybody recommend a primary school?
Could anybody recommend a primary school?
Dear Parents,
My son will go to school Jan 2009. We are singapore PR, but my son is not. so we have to wait untill 28 August 2008 to register him. But I am overseas from middle august till now.
anyway the nearer school all have no available places when i visited them on early august.
Could you give me some advice on how to register him? can i register him later? If a school has no available places, can i register him there as a students that pay higher fees?
thank you and regards

Try Raffles Gal primary School.
they hv gifted pgm if your child is bright.
methodist gal is also good bcos secondary you can go easily as they say have affilations. Some catholic school CHIJ also hv affilations.
Raffles has no affilations so you dun get priority if yr child results not so good. They hv to go to the Sec school which their gardes meet unless they have special talent like sports or whatever.
Good school hv a lot of rich kids, many peer pressures , lots bday invites.
Got bullies in school too

molihua,
I don't think you are quite the walking advertisement for the type of schools that expats are looking for. One of the things that they DON'T want is to have their kids growing up and writing like you do. If you are going to write on an Expat centric board, you should have the courtesy to type in English rather than little schoolgirl sms-texting. Here we tend to try to use the full keyboard as we are not limited to the length of our posts. This way most here don't have to try to decipher what you are actually writing and can spend more time on the information being given.

Sorry, places in local are NOT allocated to expats based on where we live. If ANY local school has space available during the third stage of balloting, then you can line up at 6am to be the first on the list. For expats, it doesn't matter where you live, it only matters if the school has space available during the final balloting exercise.
