Hi, my child is in PVPS. To be honest, my child form teacher is really good. But no all teachers!!!! This school set a very high standard, I begin to doubt what Mr Chua's said during the open house. My child have been busy with lot of homework, spelling and chinese spelling. All Singapore kids no childhood.

Hi parents, my son is in 1 Da vinci I fnd his home work volume quite ok having English spelling and Chinese听写 once a week each is normal in most school. He manage to finish his work on time in class so he doesn't need to bring back his work most of the time. I believe reasonable amount of home work is necessary for our kids to build their confident and habit for high primary education.

Perhaps you can share which class your child is in. My daughter is in 1 Curie. So far, her homework is manageable. Sometimes for 3 days in a row no homework. Spelling, etc is quite normal. And the words are quite reasonable I feel.

Mr Chua did say that if we feel that the homework is a lot, we should alert him and I think you should do that. From my past experiences, I find that he listens.

My child is in 1 Aristotle. Tuesday, our kids study till Tuesday 4pm, plus homework make them really tired.

Can i know for classes like Dance and Music that were highlighted during the Open House, are the instructors/teachers outsourced? I find them not being very patient and are poor with managing the kids.


Also, what are the enrichment classes that are currently offered to current students?

To be fair.. they do not really 'study' till 4pm. Coz for the enrichment programmes, they are mostly experiential learning.. so the kids are having fun.
But I do agree that perhaps the teachers should cut down on the homework on enrichment days.

I know exactly what you mean. The music coach was having a hard time controlling the kids. And on the other extreme, the dance coach was screaming at the top of her lungs trying to manage the kids.. hahahaaha.

The school offers 4 enrichment programmes : Choral Singing, Inline Skating, Creative Dance and Mosaic Art (covering Music, Sports, Dance and Wisual Art). But I'm not sure if the coaches during the Open House are the same ones engaged for the enrichment programmes.

Hi Parents,


Any comments and feedback on the teachers especially for Mathematics?

Are they patient and do they show any passion in teaching?

I was there too. I guess the kids were just too excited to try out the instruments. Maybe that room happened to be at a corner, many parents also crowd around there adding on to the chaos.

Are all those enrichment classes conducted only on tues ? How is it like? All in one to try out or can select only one at a time to start ? Any mummies here is a sahm ? I’m thinking of stopping work for a year to help my son with the transition through pri 1. Do you think it’s necessary ?
