Primary 1 is an important milestone for children as they start their formal learning journey and make new friends. Do you have a child who is going to Primary 1 soon? If your child is born in 2017, you can register him/her for admission in 2024 from 4th July 2023!
Some schools are known to be stricter, some have Special Assistance Plan (SAP) while others may have representation in the Singapore National School Games, etc. As every child is unique and learns differently, a suitable environment that matches his/her strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes, etc can make a great difference in your child’s learning journey.

We know how tough parenting can be, so here’s sharing the personality traits of children born in 2017 to help you choose a suitable school environment and activities for your soon-to-be Primary 1 child.
