Poi Ching

[phtthp]

Is your child a Chinese ?


If your child is non-Chinese :-
First, contact Chinese hod, at Poi Ching primary -
Ask whether school allow your child to take Chinese, as mother tongue.
The standard of Chinese in this school, is very high.

Yes, we are chinese, but I can’t speak chinese well, and we are not from a chinese speaking family as well.


Actually I want my son to join SHPS, as I know Poi Ching has high level of chinese, but my block is just the opposite of the blocks that are within 1 km, thus we are considered 1-2km area (T T). That is why I’m thinking whether I should try Poi Ching? I’m just afraid that it will be very stressful for my son as well as for the parents

hi,

Understand ur concern.
yes agreed lots of work for the parents.. helping the chd to recognise chn character every 2-3days they called it 生子关.
they hv an interactive system for it. It cost $18per yr to subscribe. . It will help you & ur chd to cope wif d demanding chn text..personally find it quite good n worth d $

Well cant denied the standard is high bt on d pro side, it helps to set d foundation for ur chd even better. I hv since pulled my DS out fr all chn enrichments coz PCS r oredi cover well beyond. When d day cms for P3.. they will b revert back to MOE prog, by dan ur chd can swim liao...hee

On d other hand I hv friends tat r msians who dun understd a single chn character. The kids r doing well. Parental involvement is critical in a chd's learning journey.
Be it in PCS or any other sch if you wan ur chd to excel n enjoy d process of learning. .

just my 2 cents... hope it helps...
cheers

Hi ivylock,

I am facing the same issue as you. How do you intend to send your child to Poi Ching and back home daily? Can share your plan?

Anyone sends your child to student care or tuition at " Young Sparks Education Services" at 826 Tampines St 81 #01-78 (second level)?

Any feedback?

Hi


I am the reverse of you both. I am staying in Tampines area and alumni of Pei Chun Public School. In the end I gave up Pei Chun factoring the traffic conditions and travelling everyday and joined Poi Ching in Tampines and my DS is happy there.

Hi ivylock and snowbell,
If I were u, I'll just enrol my kid in Pei Chun or chij instead, unless you're moving to the East, if not your kid is going to suffer for the next 6 years. My P3 in Poi Ching stay back almost everyday in school due to her chinese dance.

Pei chun usually phase 2c won’t hv space, I won’t choose chij cos my no 2 is a boy… Sigh.


Maybe I will be the chauffeur…
