Am i going to be one of the kiasu parents in Singapore? Well, the answer is i think so cos i have started to look out for primary schools that i would like my gals to attend. :P
Previously i have thots of moving to somewhere closer to some good schools but yesterday, i decided not to move. Simply becos the place where i am staying now have some reasonable good schools and even SAP school. I happened to chance upon this website - elite.com.sg and they showed me what are the schools within 1 and 2km from where i stayed.
What is SAP? In short, the school has rich chinese culture and they offer chinese as First Language. The two SAP schools within 2km to us were Kong Hwa and Hong Wen. Looking at the school profile and feedback from parents(online), Kong Hwa is a better school than Hong Wen.
These are the schools near me and my prefered list goes :
1. Kong Hwa (SAP) (Got direct bus from our house)
2. Geylang Methodist (1 MRT stop from us and affliated to Geylang Methodist Sec)
3. Hong Wen (SAP) (No direct bus)
4. Canossa Convent (Got direct bus from our house)
5. Bendemeer Primary (Not keen)
6. Macpherson Primary (Not keen)
7. St Andrew Junior(Not applicable since it's a boys school though we sure can get in cos affliated)
To get higher chances into the prefered school, the next thing to do is to be parents volunteer or get affliated either by religion or clan. Anyway now is still early to do volunter work and lets see which school we decide to apply in the end.. :P
Also saw there's a website that rank top school in geylang for 2009 - http://unofficial-sg-primary-school-guide.blogspot.com/2009/07/top-primary-school-in-geylang.html
