many thanks tankee!

super stressful time now with the P1 registration. as we have a last minute property decision to go with Taonan as well

May I ask if your DS is in lower or upper primary ? guessing that could be the stress starts in upper primary …

Would you say TNS is a school that’s more focused on grooming the top-performing students or one that also helps the weaker ones so that no one is left behind (eg teachers identifying and helping the weaker ones with subject remedial classes ? or do they ask kids to leave or drop a subject just to keep up the school’s aggregate score ?)

grateful for any feedback, TY!

DS is P6 this year.


IMHO, TNS focuses on every student and when the school suggests to certain students to drop a subject, eg higher chinese, it is for the student’s interest, not the school’s.

Thanks tankee


Good to hear positive feedback abt TNS!

Trying to reconcile both sides of opinions, I think what we have heard from parents whose kids hv had not so good experiences in TNS maybe due to mismatch in expectations. Hope you don’t mind us asking -guessing your DS must be in GEP or basically one of those top performing class students ? POssibly, the more playful or late-bloomer types may find it stressful to cope in TNS.

There are always people spreading rumours in hope to lessen the competition in registering for primary one, and increase own chance of success however small.


Best is to judge for yourself than based on some hear say. What i did was spending some time around the school and observed; and spoke with some students. Then i volunteered and get to know the school better during the PV time.

Not sure whether Dr Chin has the time, but you can also try talking to the man in charge himself. He is very approachable and said to read this forum.

my niece is in primary 2. on some days, don’t even have homework. for days with homework, also very little. can be completed within an hour. my niece, frankly speaking, is not the academic or hardworking type.
