Thank you parents for your strong interest in West Spring Primary and registering for the chat session. We are indeed very encouraged by the very positive response to our chat session and would like to encourage even more parents to join us on that day. We like the idea raised by one of our forum participants, okea, that questions that parents have about West Spring be posted on this forum. As such, do start listing down your queries and we’ll collate the questions and address them during the chat session. In this way, it’ll be a more meaningful & engaging session for you on that day. We hope that after the chat session, you’ll finally make the decision to join us at West Spring Primary - the Choice School in Bukit Panjang!


Thank you.

Is the school single or double session?

[itskryptic]

Single session.


\"What is the school’s starting time?
In alignment with PERI initiatives, West Spring Primary School aims to be a single-session school committed to holistic education. To facilitate this, the school intends to start school around 7.40am. This will allow pupils to have adequate rest before they start school every day.\"

Yes. Those are my concerns too.
I had initially decided on Greenridge Pri but when I heard about the play based learning approach and SCC proposal in West Spring, I changed my mind. As a divorced mum, I need to place my son in SCC but instead of outside of school, I prefer one that is within school.
I had read from forums that new schools tend to have high turnover of teachers. I might be wrong but its good to know since our children is new to the primary school syllabus and if they have to adapt to new teachers after a while, they might be confused.

Dear Parents,


Thank you for your great support for our new primary school in Bukit Panjang.

Even after we’ve closed the phone line on Friday, 12 July 2013 at 5.00pm, we continued receiving calls and messages by emails from some more interested parents. As such, we’ve sought the help of Zhenghua Secondary to add in more seats in the hall for the chat session on Sunday, 21 July 2013 at 10.30 am with the Principal & Vice-Principal of West Spring Primary.

There will also be a simple display of the type of healthy & balanced food that the school plans to have for West Spring pupils on that day. More information on the school will be shared on that day. Do start listing down your queries and we’ll collate the questions and address them during the chat session. As such, in this way, it’ll be a more meaningful & engaging session for you on that day.

If you happen to be one of the interested parents who’d not been able to sign up for the chat session last week, please contact Mdm Noor at 6284 4967, Mon –Fri, from 9am to 5pm.

Closing date : Thursday, 18 July 2013 at 5.00pm

We look forward to having you and your child join us at West Spring Primary in 2014!
