Tanjong Katong Primary

Hi everyone

I know this is meant for parents with kids already at TKPS, but my son is only in P1 next year.

We were quite keen on TKPS because of its international outlook, but now I hear this is no longer the case, and most of the "international Students" are students who may need more help with English as they are not English speakers at home.

Any feedback on the school otherwise?

Hi

Is your child also in P1? Mine is in P1. He does not have loads of homework to do. In fact, most days when he is back from school, he does not have homework.

He does some Personal Journalling, learn his English & Chinese Spelling every week. Most of the time, his work is completed in school already.

I’m a former student from Haig Boys primary which has now merged into Tanjong Katong Primary. Can I be considered as a former student? Will I be considered under Phase 2A2 or do I have to go through balloting?

You will need to check with the school to confirm. There is a good chance they will accept your case.

Hi, there’s not much written on Tanjong Katong Primary. The school website does show a couple of good achievements both academically & non-acedemincally. Appreciate if the parents from TKPS could write-up a bit on TKPS. I’m interested coz firstly I like the fact that the sch is in a good neighbourhood, there’s good balance between sports & acedemic within the school & it has a good international mix. It would be interesting growing up & having friends from around the globe.

Yes, I put my kids in here as I also like the 'interenational school' mix. But I think now it's not really the case anymore too, as more local as registering there kids in. This left with little seats for the foreigner's child in the last phrases of P1 registration in recentl years.

I personally like the previous principal, Mr Selean, way of doing things. He has all the drive and passion with the kids. ^_^

Teachers are approachable and if you are willing to work with them, they are more than willing to feedback on your child performance. So far, I've good connection with my 2 sons teachers. They help parents to help their child in different ways to improve.

Yes, school have schedule enough activities for kids other than academic. Sometimes, I've to run up and down to pick them at different timing for different activities.

Just my 2cents feedback..
