Woodlands Primary

[all.013398in.013398one]

:idea: As for school's 1st DAY,


I will not let my girl (P2) bring any textbooks until she brings
back the time-table.
I will also let her wear full uniform with a small bag.

Remember to purchase the school diary (Only P1s got them).

For parents with P1 girls, no accessories. Those with long hair,
please tie up the hair. Hair clips/band must only be either BLACK,
WHITE or MAROON (as like colour of uniform).

Do wear the school's socks, as everyone will be wearing that.
And your child will look out of place if you wear otherwise.
That is from my observation lah!

:celebrate: Hi mod,

Woodlands Primary is pretty okay as far as the teaching as well as non-teaching staff are concerned. Its facilities may not be fantastic, but I value the teachers, principals and support staff's passion for the school and pupils. The school compound is big, so not so \"squeezee\".
There is an extra indoor sports hall which allows for sports events
to carry on during wet days.

I will say it is above average in terms of academic.
I am happy that they are using the STELLAR big book syllabus,
so no English textbooks! Just story based
I find it reassuring as it's curriculum is not so \"cut-throat\" but still
maintained at a reasonably high level. Teaching is also well paced.
Pupils should be able to enjoy going to this school as they have many
other things that they learn that are fun.

For e.g., my girl loves the art and music lessons as well the P.E.
They even have a tambourine dance module for all P1s!
There is vocal training and compulsory swimming for P3s.

I chose this school mainly for its proximity, good comments from friends
whose children are already studying there, and being an ex-student,
my fond memories of my old school.

p.s. for WDP, I think not necessary to be PV if you are within 1km in phase 2C. But do check the stats for 2009 in this KSP thread to see
whether there were balloting in phase 2C. But for Evergreen Pri, you must
be PV in order to get into Phase 2B to have a good chance to get in.

Good Day!


Does anyone knows if P2 (AM session) has silent reading everyday
or only on assembly day?

My girls says yes, everyday.
So she brings her story book/mag everyday.

Dear ALL,


My P2 girl needs a dish washing sponge for her Arts lesson next week.
In case anyone of you missed out on that, be prepared.
EL Spelling starts next week too.

Nothing much this week.
Will have to come in next week for more action.

Hello worryfather!

Nowadays, parents tend to invest alot in their offsprings, be it time, money, love. So they want the best for them. In the heat of the rat race
that we ourselves are in, the obvious choice of school for our children will
be the one that is repeatedly mentioned by those around us, which is usually the one that produce the \"best\" results.

For me, I look at other aspects of a school because I was once in, but now out of the rat race, resigned from FTWWife to be FTHMomTutor
for about 8 years now. I was in the IT industry like you too..

What \"IT\" do you do in specific?

What do you want to know about Woodlands Primary? It has a rich kampong history!

I believe that if you are a star, you will shine wherever you go.
I proved it myself, as I was once a \"star\" of WDP. So there you go.
:celebrate: Cheers!

:rahrah: WDP's website is currently under construction.

I am really looking forward for a better, renewed and chic website.
Watch out the space on 1st Feb! :rahrah:

Hi all.in.one,


Yeah.. I think everyone nowadays very stress on academic result, I think I am one of them too.

I just don't quite understand why Greenwood, Admiralty Primary and Woodlands Ring Road seems like much more popular than Woodlands Primary when registration for P1.

Is it Woodlands Primary PSLE result worse than the other schools?
(Sorry, I don't really know the past result).
Is there anyway to check for a school average result? I don't intend to get my kids to be top student, but at least not too bad..

I am doing programming, developing application for my company. What about you last time?

Thanks.
