Palm View Primary
-
Hi all,
So I officially joined the forum this morning - same day my Hock (my online moniker for my son) is formally accepted into the school! Yay!
Welcome Hock !!!
New teaching staffs are selected and posted into the schools each year (more in second half) to cope with the incoming students. Not all the teachers will move up with the P1 batch to P2. Other than the pioneer batch, the existing P1 should have 8 classes. -

Wow, now I am abit worried that my girl would not be able to get into Palm View. Parents in law staying in Blk 104....and now she has to register under phase 2C supplementary........not sure what are the chances now...though I know there is still vacancy....
Looking at the numbers, u have to keep your finger cross :xedfingers: . Also it depends on your distance. Good luck! -
Looking at the map, nearest school would be palm view and next is north spring.

Is b4 the orientation day together with the Booklist. -
Made a mistake, nearest is north vista then north spring. But north vista only has 10 slots for after school care and north spring doesn’t have any. Palm view is within 1-2km…hopefully my girl gets in…

Welcome to the big family! :rahrah: I believe parents who send their child to Palm View share the same belief of a holistic education. Yes we are still far(or indeed will never happen) from totally doing away with results but at least this school offers a more balanced approach in my opinion. That's the reason why I chose this school initially. I still remembered I had only the principal Mr Chua to rely on 2 years ago. No open house. No teachers to talk to. No students' work to see. No Kiasu forum. Nevertheless, I am glad that most things turn out well so far. So lucky for parents who are registering their child this year.Hi all,
I've been following this thread for the last two months and find the active, engaged parent community here amazing.
One of the things I enjoy reading here is the optimistic and holistic perception of children's education. As somewhat of a rebel myself, I am adamant that Singapore's education system can be so much more than it is today. I won't go into these details (otherwise my post will become something else!) but suffice to say, I am a deep believer in the holistic education of life. Pursuit of learning is absolutely beyond textbooks, rigid formulas or big exams - and I am touched by how the community here seem to echo my beliefs.
This, coupled with the principal and school's seeming approach to childhood learning and development, was what led me to decide on PVPS. So I officially joined the forum this morning - same day my Hock (my online moniker for my son) is formally accepted into the school! Yay!
Thank you to the \"senior\" parents who have been very forthcoming with all their advise. Am looking forward to experiencing the PV primary school journey alongside Hock. Now THAT would be a parent volunteer initiative I feel is so much more WORTHY and MEANINGFUL to pursue!
Aside to the school itself, my perception is that the upcoming 2015 primary one batch will be the biggest population PVPS will be hosting - would this be correct? I hope the teaching staff are prepared for the sudden population increase! Most importantly, I hope the new challenges that will inevitably come with such a change neither distract nor discourage them from staying on their course!
And lastly, we look forward to getting to know the new family!
The maximum students that Palm View will be taking is 240, same as last year. This means there will be 8 classes of 30 students max. The teaching staff should be recruited by 2nd half of the year. Given the school's prior experience, I forsee there should not be any big problem. -

I want to send my "big thank you" to all parents in this forum. You made my decision making easier through your inputs. My son successfully got the place in P2C.
Goodluck to all parents registering in P2CS!
