To our non-Chinese parents / guardians & West Springers, we wish you happy holidays with your loved ones !

Do continue to visit our web-site regularly for occasional updates on school matters, as well as to view our lovely flickr photos of your child / ward learning through Play @ West Spring Primary. We hope to get to capture each of your child / ward in action in the many weeks to come this year & share them with you on our Flickr account. So please do be patient and keep a look-out for them !

Our teachers also honed their skills on teaching through Play when they spent an afternoon at the East Coast beach yesterday, learning the art of using sand to engage our West Springers in learning. This year, each class will get to experience Learning through Play by building sand-castles for 3 sessions of 1.5hrs in school. A huge sand-pit filled with good quality sand has been constructed already for this purpose. West Spring Primary will be the first local school in Singapore to implement this innovative programme for our West Springers.

Dear mylittleprincess,

Thank you for your interest in West Spring Primary. We thank our many supportive parents for your wonderful support at last year’s P1 registration exercise which resulted in us having to ballot at our very first P1 registration exercise 2014. We’ve been receiving queries with regards to an Open House. We’re happy to share with all our prospective parents that we’ll indeed be having an Open House. Please do refer to our school web-site at a much later date for details of the Open House.

Dear Parents / Guardians,


We’re pleased to share with you that in about 2 to 3 months’ time, a beautiful playground will be set-up in the school for our West Springers to expend their energy & socialize with fellow West Springers through Play. :imcool:

:welcome:

The equipment is imported from the USA, hence the time needed to set up the playground. :please:

Cool! I like schools which are responsive and pro-active to queries. This is an open forum and they are willing to do it. Some established schools have the stand-offish attitude. To me, all schools are good schools if they have well-trained admin to handle the queries sufficiently…that is the first point of contact to make everyone feel that all schools represent MOE the same way.


If I am staying near this place, I will be willing to partner this school for my children.

Thank you West Spring PS for keeping us updated on new progress. May i know where will the playground be erected? Will there be teachers around to ensure safety of children when they are playing?

Looking forward to see the playground! May I know after the school completion the whole renovation can the parents go in and take a closer look ?

Dear Free2pop,

The school is currently being further enhanced to create more outdoor learning spaces in line with our Play curriculum. This whole process will certainly take quite a few months to complete. We’re hoping to have all enhancements completed by the time we organize our next Open House for the P1 Registration Exercise 2015.

Some of the up-coming enhancements include :

- Outdoor Experiential Learning area

- Lego area & room

- Chess garden

- Scented garden

- Outdoor library

- Fernery

- Desert plants


The astro turf soccer field on the 6th level is really beautiful as well. :rahrah:

We’ll try look into conducting another short tour of the school facilities for our current parents / guardians, once all works have been completed.

Please do be patient as we look into the enhancements. :please:
