Indeed, according to MOE list, many schools are conducting balloting for Phase 2C, really getting very competitive.


Good LUCK to all parents whom are undergoing the balloting on 6 Aug! :xedfingers:

On MOE website today:
\" Teck Ghee Primary School

Balloting will be conducted for SC children residing outside 2km of the school.\"

This year 2C only SC children are eligible. Looks like it is getting competitive. May be there will be more PV going for 2B next year.

Welcome heroineROC, welcome and congrats to your kid for joining TGPS! :rahrah:

This morning while picking up my boys from school, I saw a sea of red and white kiddos with big smiles, a beautiful sight. Wish you all a wonderful and blessed holiday and weekends. Hehe. After this long weekend, the kids will need to start working in their CA2 coming up soon. :evil:

Is it true that many teachers have left or are leaving? Friend’s relative used to teach there and she said many good trs are leaving.

Hi Stressedmomma,


Yes, it's true that a few teachers have left for further studies to upgrade themselves. But I know it's for the good of the children.

We have new teachers joining the school and so far the feedback I heard from my children are good.

Some other teachers whom went on sabbatical leaves or Maternity Leaves had returned from their leaves to teach as well.

As MOE also put teachers, VP and P on rotation, so it's little wonder teachers are leaving, not because they do not want to teach anymore but because of MOE guideline.

As Minister Heng has been stressing All Schools are Good Schools, I would like to apply the same statement to TGPS Teachers - they are truly a very committed and passionate team of teachers.

There are always a lot of \"roadside news\" so come and speak to the school and teachers, then you will see a clearer picture than what you have heard. :evil:

Of course, there are also teething issues that we parents may face with the teachers, so my advice is talk to the teacher and understand both side of the stories. It will make the 6 years education journey very fulfilling for both kiddo and parents. I am into my 5th year girl for my elder girl and still enjoying everyday. :boogie:

Rotation applies to P and Vp, seldom to teachers unless there is excess staff, which, seeing as to how many classes there are at the school, this should not be the issue. Still if it is, it would be only 1 or 2 teachers that are transferred out.

YEs roadside news aplenty but this is from an ex teacher in the school so yes, i would think it is a genuine piece of news.
Of course I still hope for the best at TGPS. Seeing as to how it seems to be the 3rd ranked school in terms of popularity in AMK after CHIJ and Anderson, it would be a pity if the standard drops.
