Pei Tong Primary

[Mama Windy]

Hi P1 Parents,


How are things after 1 week of probabaly "chaotic" rushing here & there for your kid new start in Primary school?

As for me, took 3 half days off from work to chk on my daughter. My first in P1. So far, either than day 1 after school arrangement that was not too smooth, the rest was ok. School wise, so far so good.

Just hope that the canteen food can be cheaper. Food in canteen for Primary school, I thought would have been cheaper.

My cousin in Fairfield, Fish ball noodles @ $0.80. Pei Tong @ $1. And they sell drinks with ice (like Ribena). My daughter bought a glass on a rainy day - ice ribena. hmm!!! luckily she din finish it all as she din like it, she said, it’s not ribena but grape juice…

They sell those "onion ring chips" / "cheese flavoured chips" - ranges from $0.50 to $0.60 - my office, I could get them from the vending machine @ $0.40.

Yakult @ $0.70 - 5 in a pack only cost $2.85 - making 1 @ $0.57. If school will to take in bulk supply, could be cheaper. y price @ $0.70. hmm??

Anyway, just told my daughter to get proper food. Drinks, snacks etc… mummy will get for her on our own.

Today, there’s a book fair, parents not encourage to enter school - wonder if my daughter can handle it?

Hi AmyAmy,


This year - no CA1& 2 but SA1 & 2 remain. They have introduce PAL for P1 too. For my year, today they will start theirs… for first term, her class will be having "Art = Art Appreciation". I’m interested to know what they learn. Hope it’s interesting enough for the kids to expand their creativity.

I do pack food for her but still gv her some pocket money, just in case. So far, my girl loves goin to school.

Hi Mummies


Would like to get your feedback from Pei Tong. Aside from the expensive canteen food, how are the teachers and general culture of the school?

My DS starts school in 2012 and Pei Tong is the nearest to us. I’m very sian to do PV at the so called ‘better’ schools around here and I’m old girl from Ai Tong but it is so far away.

Please PM me if you are uncomfortable to comment here. Your honesty will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

does anyone have experience with the ananias basc?

[Mama Windy]

my daughter is in ananias basc. Been there since dec last year. so far so good. they discipline the kids well… if u plan for your kid to take the school bus to ananias, b prepare that no one from ananias will pick the kids up. I’m ok with it as after checking on my daughter for the first 3 days, there are est 15+ kids from Pei Tong (if your kid is in pei tong, as I’m not sure abt other school) will take the same bus. Thus, 15+ of them will walk up to the basc together.
