Keming Primary
-
My son was in P1 in 2014. We were not allowed to accompany child to assembly area. Think is to minimize separation anxiety. That year we were to go in during recess time to observe from far how do they behave n buy food from stalls. They have a p2 buddy also… They have many pv helping out during recess time also…

Heard those top 3 positions last year should have all receive letters already for coming prize giving. It was done discreetly so those who never receive means have to try harder this year.Hi all,
My son mentioned that the form teacher didn't release top 3 positions for Primary 2. Do they still award top 3 positions for respective classes?
Regards,
Agnes
Anyway, if not wrong, only those top 3 students from every class will be attending the price giving, as well as their parents too. Also heard that those ex students whom got selected for GEP last year will also come back to their ex school Keming to receive award. -
It seems teachers are recruiting the P3s for CCAs.
My DS ‘kay kiang’ put up his hand & was handed a sign-up CONSENT form that says "(I the parent) will ensure my child attends the workshops on the dates specified."
Very high handed indeed. Where is the portion for the parent to indicate consent/non consent?
The timing of the CCA is every Fri 2-4pm. If no one can fetch my kid how to go? This teacher should be more empathetic - the family needs to be able to support. Not every home has a stay-home parent/grandparent or reliable maid. -

The wushu team use rvhs dsa to lure students in. I tell them go fly kite. If i want my child to be physical active, i go elsewhere, not for the sake of dsa. -
My girl is in 1 Pearl this year at KMPS. I had written to the student care in KMPS since the start of the school term and until now, I have not rcvd a reply from them. Any parents having their child/children in KMPS student care? Care to share some details?

Hi, my son goes for chess lessons at SCF. I must say (at least true for my son) that he has grown to be patient, read people's moves, and be a strategic player through learning chess. Chess is an intelligent game and the values that you gained are tremendous.
\"Chess as a sport requires a lot of mental stamina, and this is what that makes it different from a physical sport. Chess players have a unique ability of taking in a lot of information and remembering relevant bits. So, memory and mental stamina are the key attributes.\"

Last but not least, among all the digital games, chess games are one of the best games to take up children's time. Hope Keming can take flight in international chess, just like the popular schools where chess is always a cca in their school, not only a workshop. Maybe Keming can improve in her approach in getting children to take new CCAs. Keming has correctly recognized this form of CCA as a beneficial CCA for children to take up and wish the school all the best! -

Do the P1s start with Higher Chinese or normal Chinese? If it is normal, how did they pick the pupils for HCL in lower Primary? I read somewhere that KMPS offers HCL at lower primary. Not sure if it is true.
Hi!
KMPS offers HCL only for P5 and P6. Those scoring more than 85 marks in their CL will be offered to take HCL in P5. For children scoring below 85, if they are interested in CL or if the parents wish to, they can still apply for HCL.vcaz2:
It depends on your definition of \"a lot\". Other than the books indicated on the booklist, the teachers give worksheets as well. Some teachers give homework on the weekdays, while some during the weekends. Sometimes, it depends on the children's attitude and speed. I have two children finishing the same homework in different timings (10 mins and 30 mins).Also, how is the curriculum? Does the child has a lot of homework to do and supplementary classes to attend?
P3 to P6 have to attend supplementary classes on every Mon and Thurs (130pm-330pm). P1 and P2 attend remedial classes.vcaz2:
How are the teachers too? Had heard some 'horror' stories of the teachers there. Ain't sure if what I heard is true.
Oh gosh, what \"horror\" stories have you heard! If you don't mind, I do hope that you can share. Cos I haven't heard of anything horrifying.vcaz2:
On average, how many pupils will score 240 and above for PSLE? Anybody knows?
I doubt anyone other than the teachers knows the PSLE score as the ministry wishes to focus more on character development than academic results. But such marks are generally obtained by pupils from the first 2 classes).vcaz2:
You can refer to the school's website for more info on the CCA. Yep, the niche is Wushu.What about CCA? What is the niche CCA for KMPS?

Is KMPS becoming a Mindef or Home Affairs facility?
Hi!
Security has indeed tightened this year bcos compared to other sch in Sg, KMPS's security was not as tight in the previous years. Nothing to do with becoming Home Affairs facilities but your extra tight security policy is considered normal everywhere.gvyong:
Parents are never allowed to accompany their children to the assembly area (only to the porch area) in the previous years.Security policy extra tight at KMPS this year? Parents not allowed to accompany P1 to their assembly area.. might as well not issue the parents pass, drop off at gate can already... wasted my time to take leave for day 1.
The P1 Orientation did state clearly that the parent pass is for parents to enter the sch during recess time to see if their children are adapting!gvyong:
Different sch have different policies. There's always a reason for a sch to take such measures. Anw, if you want to take photos of your child in sch, you can do it on LOVE@Keming (it's opened to the public).Also, no photo no cameras allowed. My frens happily posting from other schs leh..
gvyong:
Cars are allowed to enter and drop off children! But only around the reporting and dismissal time... If parents have to enter the sch at different times , need to register with the security guard.Cars not allowed to enter n drop off kids.
gvyong:
I'm also curious with regards to the pv. Trs are always seen doing duties at the gates..VP says no security manpower, need to shut the back gate ... where are the parent volunteers?
