Most of the kids here in S"pore will choose the primary school nearby their home as the morning session starts at 7:20(around) so if you live far away, the kids are very difficult as he/she may need to get up very very early to catch the school bus. Where are you going to live?

Does it mean that you are in S'pore now??

Recently there are the P1 registration. Usually the popular school will be chosen through the early phases so you can have idea which school are popular here.

Try to go to these website :

http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/singapores-top-primary-schools

kiasu means 驚輸 . It is to describe some of the mentality of the singaporean parents.

I think you can get lots of parent's idea on primary school on this web.

The other one is MOE you can check the recent registration status of P1. So that you know which school in yr area is popular.

Hi,
I also live near River Valley. How old are your kids?
In River Valley, there is a school called River Valley Primary School which is pretty good. Another good school are Radin Mas Primary School, CHIJ Kellocks(girlls school). These three are very popular in this area. As I don't know what is your actual location, do you know that to enter to Priamry school it has to count your distance from your home to the school??? ANother top school around your area is ACS Junior (boys only) but which is very difficult to get into except you live within1 km of the school.

For Music School, there is Yamaha in Plaza Singapura. What kind of course you are looking for your kids?

Raffles Girls Primary School is not so difficult to enter. FOr this yr, all volunteers can successfully go under Phase 2B; and for Phase 2 C, if you live within 2 km, you can also go straight in, no need to ballot.

It is different frm Nanyang primary, which is a SAPS school which means they are using both chinese and english as mother tongue. SO lots of parents like to send the kids to Nanyang.

I think Nanynag is more popular than Raffles Girls as the latter primary school is not affliated to Raffles secondary school

每次都聽到新加坡人說RGS是很好的學校,很難入...可能他們所指是中學吧!聽妳說,如果住2KM內,一般人都是有機會入到的,但會不會附近的樓價會好貴呢?定係大部份家長其實都沒有所謂,最重要學校在家附近,因新加坡大部份學校都不錯,而且很早上學,亦沒有香港好與不好的學校距離會差很遠?因此不會有很多人會因為學校距離而搬?

我都聽過南洋教注重華文,而RGS比較傳統,但我見RGS的中文書都是用Higher chinese課本...是否用什麼課本與中文程度沒有關係?

在七月尾各小學會開放3天讓家長去諮詢,我有一個朋友的仔再下年才上小學,父母便打算早一年去問定先,是否一般新加坡的家長都是這樣?

可否說多一些為何南洋近年會比RGS受歡迎?是程度問題?是教育方法問題?還是有其他原因?(香港新加坡學校的校長以前是南洋中學的校長,我想看看她在南洋的教育方法是否和SIS(HK)有相同的地方?

謝謝...

HI ANSON160102

I know there is a Fairprice supermarket in Killney Road. I am not sure whether you are living near this. But anyway if you live within 2 km of River Valley Primary School, the chance is very very high. MY daughter will be in River Valley Primary School next Jan as we also live within 2 km.
The music school you mentioned I don't have any idea. SOrry.

Hey if you need any help, you can PM to me. I also came here for 1 year and understand at this stage you may need more info about Singapore, no matter shopping or schooling....etc.

TO YYYY
THe reason for Nan yang more popular than RGPS is :
Nan Yang is SAP school
Nan Yang primary school has affiliation to its secondary school but Raffles Girls do not have.
But actually both are good and top school. My daughter classmates also go to these schools (because they do the voluntary works in the school)
The rent nearby these schools are high because :
many of them are either landed house or condo ;
If you plan to go to these schools, you can consider to do the voluntary works; otherwise you need to move there.
However some local parents tell me that these school if your kids score not good, they need to see the parents to discuss about that.

yanny,

Cannot belief you only stay in SG for 1 year but already very familiar with SG's educational system.

Actually I asked RGPS as I only know this school which my girl studies there twice and each time for 2 weeks. She likes this school but she is promoted to Secondary this year. According to your message, is RGSS more popular than RGPS?

What's SAP school?

Actually both RGSS & RGPS are popular but the former is very very difficult to enter. THey require PSLE (P 6 exam here)score very high. BUt in Singapore they also count the other talents like musical or dancing exam...

SAP school : SAP stands for Special Assistance Plan
this school uses both chinese and english as mother tongue. That means their chinese standard is also very high. I don't remember the no., but there shouldn't be many SAP school here.
When I came here, I don't know much about the system here. But since my daughter is studying local kindergarten and I met with other parents and some of them are very nice to tell me about the system here. But I found most of them are quite stressful under such education system and the kids have tuition around after school.

Can understand that there will be streeful for students in SG. During the 2 weeks in RGPS, my girl told me their P6 already finished teaching all subjects and doing revision tests all day long. They also have after school tuition from Monday to Thursday in school, every main subject one day. The students there also down count the days for PSLE...

Is SAP means gifted children class? There are 3 classes in RGPS P6 are gifted classes.

In SISHK, some students also go for tuition. Mainly for the subjects of Science and Maths. I was told by a student from SIS to another IS in HK, the standard for Science in Form 1 is close to SIS P4.

I am surprised to find out there are Science exercise books for Kindergarten students. I have bought one for my younger girl and found out it's not that easy in her standard. My girls likes to do the science as it's quite funny.

Hi yanng,

I have went to MOE website to have a look. I thought foreign students can only register under Phase 3 during P1 registration. Do you have to help your child change his /her citizenship in order to have a chance to register under Phase 2B or 2C? If I don't change the citizenship, does it mean that I need to go under Phase 3? Will there still be any vacancies for those Top school?

If my child is a boy, does he need to serve the army when he is 18 yrs old (if I change his citizenship)? Or he can choose to be either HK or Sin citizen?

Sorry for so many questions. Hope you won't mins.

Thanks!
