River Valley Primary

[Puffer]

Looks like you are staying very very near to the school. Which school isn't noisy during recess and after school? As for CCAs, you may want to check from the school website. From my limited knowledge, soccer, volleyball, aesthetics are the popular ones. Teachers? I could only say they are dedicated. Homework? Not so much for P1 and 2 but as they progress to higher levels, certainly alot to cope with for my boys, at least! (I think the better the class you belong, the higher the expectations from teachers, who may teach more and supply more than what's supposed to be taught).

Thanks for your reply puffer. I don't live that close to the school but I am there doing PV :lol:

Hi Minnie 2004,


U are already doing PV now? May I know whether there is any interview/selection process? What i understand from the school is that they normally do not conduct interview and generally all parents are accepted for PV… is it true?

What sort of work are the school lookg at?

Thanks!!

Hi XK, yes I’m doing PV there now. There was no interview but according to the principal in the PV briefing session, not all applicants are accepted.


I’ve done library duties, accompanied students to plays, and helped out on CCAs. Their PSG involvement is quite high but they’ll generally try to find work for those 40-hr PVs to complete their hours.

Did anyone attend the PTM on 19 Feb? Now we know why the Pri 1 classes are given names other than ABC etc. The school principal has reasonably good vision and aims, however the HODs seem to be constantly reminding parents that the subject workload will not be stressful and the children will not be stressed in school… I felt very stressed listening to their lecture. Pri 1 Graciousness chinese teacher seems to be very enthusiastic, think its good for our kids… hope she can sustain the energy levels.

Hi..I am new to this thread..but my dd 2 is from River Valley.Ms Ow Young was also her teacher.Yeah..she's fierce..and strict..my dd2 tells me that she always spends some time reprimanding the boys - she very strict about homework and that must be completed properly. But she is a very responsible teacher..you will be rest assured the assignments will be marked and everything that is to be done followed up..need such a teacher to cultivate good habits ..for the work that is to come.

If this helps, the rvps teachers keep in touch with parents..if anything, all these years, I have never had a single email from any form teacher that has not been promptly replied to and followed up on..
