Can anyone share their experience with Pei Tong Primary School? Thanks.
Just curious, did they originally ballot for Nan Hua Primary (should be a lot of overlap where both are < 1 km) but were unsuccessful? Obviously, most people prefer one over the other. But regardless of whether one is lucky or unlucky, many things about the child won't change. If the child is smart and hardworking, there's a good chance he or she will do well.

The children doing well in school may not necessarily have anything to do with the school, it may just be that they are intelligent or hardworking as you've mentioned. But I definitely agree, the school plays a big part in nurturing young minds. This is why it's so important to pick a school whose values you align with.
What do you suppose are the reasons for their preference?NYY1 wrote: ↑Tue, 25 Oct 2022 5:54 pmJust curious, did they originally ballot for Nan Hua Primary (should be a lot of overlap where both are < 1 km) but were unsuccessful?

Not necessarily, the choice to subject the children to hours of tuition is one made by the parents, doesn't really have anything to do with which school they enroll in.
Generally speaking, most people will pick the more popular/famous school (or at least try for it) if they have the chance. Could be for history, culture, tradition, demographics, general popularity, and on the margin, possibly resources (CCAs, facilities, etc). Nevertheless, any of the primary schools here will get your child a good base in the curriculum and expose them to other non-academic activities.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Wed, 26 Oct 2022 1:00 amWhat do you suppose are the reasons for their preference?NYY1 wrote: ↑Tue, 25 Oct 2022 5:54 pmJust curious, did they originally ballot for Nan Hua Primary (should be a lot of overlap where both are < 1 km) but were unsuccessful?

Yes, ultimately it is up to the parents. But unfortunately the parental peer pressure to have your child perform is often higher in certain schools than others.Lisafuller wrote: ↑Wed, 26 Oct 2022 1:01 amNot necessarily, the choice to subject the children to hours of tuition is one made by the parents, doesn't really have anything to do with which school they enroll in.
I'm assuming Pei Hwa is more famous then? I've always thought they were more or less the same, though I've never deeply researched either.NYY1 wrote: ↑Wed, 26 Oct 2022 5:49 amGenerally speaking, most people will pick the more popular/famous school (or at least try for it) if they have the chance.

I believe you are thinking of Pew Hwa Presbyterian Primary School (PHPPS), near Beauty World? The above was about Pei Tong, in Clementi (very near Nan Hua Primary School).Lisafuller wrote: ↑Thu, 27 Oct 2022 12:19 amI'm assuming Pei Hwa is more famous then?

Ah, yes! The one by Beauty World! I know it's a SAP school but that's about it.NYY1 wrote: ↑Thu, 27 Oct 2022 5:57 amI believe you are thinking of Pew Hwa Presbyterian Primary School (PHPPS), near Beauty World?

Both PHPPS and NHPS are difficult to enter; they are SAP and SAP/GEP Centre.
