Sengkang Green Primary

My ds finally got in after much effort. However, I see that they really don’t seem to have much capacity anymore. In fact, it is my personal opinion that MOE may have to consider the growing needs of working parents who need student care facilities. Read in today’s papers that there are 20,000 more childcare places to be built this year. Interestingly there is no mention of student care at all. It really puzzles me if anyone is aware of the pressing issues that working parents face when their children enters the next lap in education.

I am new to this site and am considering admitting my gal into SKG for 2015.

Hope to hear some feedbacks about the school and their teachers so far?
Seems like there is no PV yet since this means that all admission will be through phrase 2C?
Thanks in advance to all your feedbacks

I did email SKG to ask about PV bu noone replied...

I think most if not all primary schools with inhouse basc will have limited capacity im also one of those who will need a basc....

P1 parents..


Any comments on the recess timing and food they are selling in e canteen?

I gave my boy $2 everyday. started this bad habit of buying pkt drinks (milo) which we had restricted at home.. i saw other flavored drinks which should be ban from sch canteen

Monday and fri ends late at 1.45pm. suggest you urge your kids to take a heavy meal during recess else they will be starving till 2pm+ for lunch

PAL stands for program for active learning. Details got to go MOE website as I have read and forgotten details. Something like more wholesome learning instead of just focusing on academic.

I am fine with the timing. Ds has been taught to eat more on days of late dismissal and what drinks are not healthy. Don't suppose we can limit what is being sold so it is really a matter of inculcating healthy habits which may go a longer way. Just my humble opinion.

Since SKG is a new school with students only in the lower primary (please correct me if I am wrong), are they any ECAs that the students can participant in to develop other qualities?
