Some time ago, we made a trip to tour Nanyang Primary, the then preferred school as it is viewed as the top primary school in Singapore by many. However, the results for Nanyang is not rosy, as balloting is required even for kids staying within 1km in phase 2B. So, Nanyang is largely out of the picture for conservative me, who might not be able to weather through the tensed balloting for my children's future.
Actually, when it comes to primary, there are two school of thoughts and I see merits in both. One school advocates branded school where the children meet the right group of peers, the other believes ordinary school where your kid can shine anyway if he is the material.
Since Nanyang is out, we left Nan Hua and Henry Park, and we paid a quick visit to both this Sat morning.
Nan Hua: squarish layout (am I viewing property?), Chinese culture, beautiful fish pond, impressed by the Chinese poems on the corridor arch. A little run down, pretty noisy as it is along MRT line.
Henry Park: quiet, relatively new with a modern finish. Irregular layout hence might be hard to find your own classroom. Had a hard time to find the washroom when Mei needed to pee. Can you spot the washroom hidden in a zoo?
Nanyang: a pic from the Internet. Great landscape and building nested in a quite surrounding, strong Chinese atmosphere, seems to have the combined merits of Nan Hua and Henry Park, but it is a school out of reach.
我们心仪的三所小学：
- 南华：可能性90%如果我们搬家
- 恒力：可能性99.99%如果我们搬家
- 南洋：可能性60%如果我们搬家
怎么办？
