Juying Primary

Hi, all
For kids who are in the student care the whole day, althought they are also encouraged to log onto lead.com to do the assignments, I think it is not necessary to finish all of them since they spent the whole day in the student care and have limited time to complete all the assignments.
At least my DS never really completed all of them since P1 (he’s currently in p3) and his form teacher is ok with it…Just to share in case some parents whose kids are in full day student care get ‘stressed’ over this. However, you may just want to double checked with your child’s form teacher just in case… -
Hi sakura,
Thanks for the info!

Well, my first choice for DS was also West Grove. Never do PV so just try my luck during the balloting. Unfortunately, no luck lehHi Sakura_2009,
I also stay in Jurong West Extension and next yr will be my son's p1 I didnt do any PV so I will be depending on my luck for his addmission.
My first choice is West Grove
2nd choice I am still not sure if I should have Juying or Xingnan... hows ur feedback bout Juying as a whole>?
The probability during that time was 1:3 (one vacancy for every 3 kids)
So with West Grove out, my next option was either Pioneer or Xingnan or Juying. I gave Pioneer a miss coz it was still located at JE that time. We wanted to give Xingnan a shot but was told we need to ballot. Dun't want to take the risk coz if we didn't get in, really dunno where DS will get posted to. So I'm down with my last choice, which is Juying Pri - sure get in coz there are still many places left after 2nd phase. -

heh..heh..if you didn't do PV for WG, then you really need lots of luck
Exactly same as me... :stupid:
But then now Pioneer is nearby do u think its good choice...
Also xingnan had to ballot is 3c suppl
Hows Juying studies wise
MTIA
Anyway, no harm trying
My DS is doing alright in Juying now. In fact, we asked him to change to Pioneer (for proximity's sake when Pioneer shifted back to JW) when he was in P2 but he refused, saying that he like the school and wanted to be with his friends. Ok lor, can't forced him since he's the one attending the school.
The only thing you may really want to consider when choosing JY over say, Pioneer is the location. Pioneer is much nearer to our home whereas for Juying, we need to actually take 2 buses to reach the school. During school days is ok, coz there's sch bus, but the problem comes when he has to attend CCAs + supplementary + some other ad hoc enrichment classed organised by the school outside school hours. A real :stupid: for us now. Sometimes need to take leave just to ferry him to and from sch leh... -

Having been to a few of the parents'-teachers sessions, I'll say I'm ok with the teachers so far. No major complaints from them (about DS) except that he tends to talk too much (UNECESSARILYsakura_2009:
heh..heh..if you didn't do PV for WG, then you really need lots of luck
Anyway, no harm trying
Yes dear really need lotsa luck
So which means he enjoys his school and the teachers there
Yes very right though that shouldnt be a problem since I have IL's and maid and they can take turns if required... but teacher wise I wanted the feedback for Juying, Xingnan and Pioneer cause my DS is very naughty
) and DS r/s with his teachers are also ok. However, he has one complaint though - he said he hope that the Chinese teacher don't speak so fast in class...he can't 'catch-up' with what she's talking at times 
My DS unfortunately needs to pull up his socks in this subject and the teacher happen to be from China and speaks like, well, someone from China
I guess it really boils down to the 'chemistry' between the child and the teacher and of course, it would really help if the teacher is caring and enthusiastic at the same time. Oh, one more thing - Juying is very strong in Robotics - u may hv heard of it in the earlier posts. So if u r keen to have your DS learn this, then this sch can be one of your choice.
Hope this helps!

After ds being in Juying for three months, I have got to say I’ve got no complaint about the sch or the teachers. Attended several events in sch with ds, find tt principals and teachers are also very ‘pro-parents’. Probably they wld like to boost their name in the jw area too.
About the Chinese teachers in Juying - yes, almost 90% of the teachers are native chinese and I LIKE it very much. In Jan, my ds in p1 got to do a chinese test (He claimed that there’s rearranging words into sentences, filling in the correct words, count the strokes etc and was difficult). Later during a HYPY wkshop for parents, I checked with his chinese teacher. The chinese teacher said that test was to differeniate the children’s std tt’s why its was pegged to a more difficulty level. I feel that if the native teachers can be accepted as MOE teachers, they must be good or not better than local chinese teachers.

I think the number of students in P1 class during DS's time is abt 25-30 students per class. Not sure about now though. You may check the number of vacancies left after the last phase on the web, think that shld give an idea of the take up rate...
Hmm sounds good then
Oh yeah agreed!!
hmm he definitely enjoys Robotics....
thanks a lot for all this information can I pls ask one more thing?
Do they have enough ppl for the class cause I heard they have lotsa empty places last time?
Also do they classify students according to the academics??
MTIA
Again, not sure about the current practice but during DS's time, yes - there is streaming at the end of P1. As far as I'm aware, the more academically-inclined ones (usually the 1st to 3rd positions) in class will go to A or B class, and the rest distributed amongst the other classes (ie. from C onwards).
Hope this helps.

I must say I'm quite impressed when I attended the HYPY class 2 years ago when DH was in P1. I'm quite surprised to see a few native Chinese teachers there and I felt that with their presence, the 'standard' of the Chinese in the school must be pretty good.After ds being in Juying for three months, I have got to say I've got no complaint about the sch or the teachers. Attended several events in sch with ds, find tt principals and teachers are also very 'pro-parents'. Probably they wld like to boost their name in the jw area too.

I still have the same sentiments but (just purely based on my own experience), I felt that their expectations from the Singapore students are a tad too high. I'm really not sure if this is a fair statement but well, DS seems to hv some problems in his Chinese now (compared to P1 & 2). Of course it could be because he is currently taking HMT (the students are 'streamed' to either normal MT or HMT based on their year-end results since P1) and therefore expectations are higher...
Anyway, as far as I'm aware, the chinese students (native) are doing very well in Chinese, and that probably sets the standard for other students to follow suit... -

the info i got is similar, based on P1 english and Maths results,
the top 30 position of the P1 cohort will go to Pri2A class and
the next 31st to 60th position will go to Pri2B.
The children have to maintain their position to stay in the respective class
or otherwise dropped out of the A/B class.
Imagine the stress of those children who are more matured and competitve from the A/B class.... :shock:
