Many parents have said they love Eton House but I am not sure why as the only good points are: they have holiday classes, school buses are available for children who attend after school activities.

Hi PaulynY, I can confirm that if you and your children are on DPs you are entitled to enrol for both international or local schools in Singapore, without applying for a student pass.

The impact is that EP holders have Buckley's chance of getting a half decent school anywhere near their suburb. Incorrect, PR are still allowed ...

When we tried to get our eldest daughter into a local school a few years ago, we were allocated a school that was several kilometres away. After asking around it seemed that no one thought very much of this school, which was apparently why few local parents had enrolled their children there and why ...

I bought a car about 3 months after we arrived. This was about 7.5 years ago. At the time the children were still young, with the youngest being just a few months old.

Bluenose, thank you for that.
Trying to find a reasonably good piano teacher for around $150 to $180 per month, has been challenging.
