Kenny22:

Is your dd in P2? Just found out that my kid's Chinese teacher also Ms Zhang, and most of her Chinese exercise work since january not marked.

Almost all her marking just ticks, without dates written.

Hi Kenny - my DD is in P3. It might be the same Ms Zhang. Apparently she will only mark the work after they complete the chapter. That's what she said when I asked about the unmark work.

Hi,


Any idea can we bring our kids for holistic assessment briefing and workshop this sat?

Gluttonish:

Really looking forward to the Teachers and Parents meeting next week. Hope to speak to the new P to understand more about her and her direction for EPS.

Gluttonish how was yr meet parent? Manage to talk to the new P? Actually I think she is very friendly except still new and need to get to know more about our Sch and know what we parents are looking for b4 she can do much. I think we should give her our support n talk to her more often because if we parents don't support her then there is really a limited area of what she can do. I heard she was a teacher in RI and was a VP in AiTong before , so her experience is there except need our feedback. Our old P was able to make it partly also because there are a group of parents who willing to feedback and he willing to accept and make the changes to improve. Personally I think the new P is more approachable not doubts the old P have done quite a bit for our Sch. Anyway he had left n will not be back to this Sch is a reliably, so lets us support the new P and see what she can help us make our kids learning more enjoyable.

Hi SPI - I was so blur. The PTM for P3s will only happen in June. So nope - didn’t get to meet the new P.


Agree with you that we need to give the new P our support, but we need to be given the opportunity to do that. The parents involvment activities in EPS is rather low as compared to other other schools, hope they will improve on that. Some schools also have a purchased e-platform where the interface is like FB, teachers can communicate with students and parents easily thru the interface. Spellings and Ting Xie list can also be uploaded there. Given a chance to talk to the new P, I will definitely suggest to look into these areas. On the contrary, my DD finds the old P more approachable, maybe they just need more time to create the bond with each other

My DD and I was looking thru her old books, and happen to see the ‘autograph’ that Mr Chia signed on her sch mag on his last day. She look at it and said in all fondness that she was glad she managed to talk to him and get his signature before he left. From there, I feel that he has really done a very good job as a P. No doubt the PSLE results wasn’t great, but the definition of success comes in more ways than one.

With such a predecessor, the new P definitely has a big shoe to fill. Hope she can live up to our expectations and create a new legend.

My DD started school with a new set of teachers to replace the FT and chinese teacher.


Anyone’s class has a change of teachers too?

Hi,


There is a new MT and CME teacher in my kid class too.

Common. With new leadership, teachers will seek transfer elsewhere if the leader is the authoritative type. With an outflow of experienced teachers from Endeavour, I expect the new teachers to have bigger shoes to fill. The principal only needs to give directions and the ones doing are the teachers. Think about it. The new P could be the no nonsense type aka fierce.


If the principal still Mr Chia, I will go all the way to even take the chance to try ballot in for the school. But change in leadership, I won’t think about it. I wrote on Mr Chia’s blog comment before that if he were still the principal, I will send my child there, if not, I won’t send my child there. Reason:The one who implement all the new changes in the school was Mr Chia. It is up to the new P if she wants to follow Mr Chia’s original plan for the school. She is the new Principal, I will expect to see many changes and I do not want my child to be a guinea pig to try out those new changes.
That’s my thoughts to share for now.

I like the environment at endeavour pri school, and the way that the new principal n teachers dedicated to ensure that every children are doing well in school.

Semgal can tell us how is the new P fierce? Only heard from my kids that she talk very long during assembly and want to fall a sleep but i see them more \"Guai\" now la after all the \"chanting\" I ask them is the new P fierce they say no leh. Did you or yr kids experience any fierce encounter about the new P? They only say the Chinese teachers fr china mostly more fierce.

Actually I think if you really like Mr Chia as the P, can consider transfer yr kids to HPPS, I think he will be most happy to accept yr kids. Instead of sending yr kids to a school that u feel so uncomfortable and stress everyday. So unhealthy for you and yr family members. Further more HPPS is a \"branded\" school can grab this chance to enrolled them there.
