Pei Chun Public

[pinktea]

Frankly speaking, a lot of homework & AS class doesn’t mean can improve efficiency. I did talk to few parents b4, they hope school can stop afternoon AS bcos kids need more rest, some even need rush to private enrichment class after AS. Ai Tong also did not provide AS , can jump conclusion Ai Tong academic also not strong?

PeiChun still give equal opportunity to students who perform well to participate RI math Olympiad competition, NMOS, Singapore math Olympiad competition… For weak students continue AS in afternoon.
Last year total 20% of P3 Student sit GEP round 2, madam Ler (Ex-principal) mentioned is the best ever result and make her proud of Peichun kids.

This year is a great change / shock to the last practice of the sch. For AS, I thought is necessary to catch up on the subjects The sch has a much shorter curriculum timing as compared to other pri sch. PCPS generally ended sch at 12.25pm- 12.55pm latest. Most sch ended at 1.30pm. The difference if you add up is as good as 2 session of 30mins lacking from normal time. So now the poor teachers got to rush through and student grasp through the concepts. As for MTP, now they limit to 20 students only and was informed they reserve for weaker students. It seems that the sch is telling us that your kids are good enough? I thought MTP is for teachers to share the areas for your child to better improve? Even if you are top student, there should always be room for improvement right? In my opinion, the school seems like in a state of complacent.

As for PTM now they limit to 20+ students only and was informed they reserve for weaker students. It seems that the sch is telling us that your kids are good enough? I thought PTM is for teachers to share the areas for your child to better improve? Even if you are top student, there should always be room for improvement right? Sch also recently informed they will ensure our kids daily homework will not take more than 1 hour per day…sch seems to send a direction for us to chill… I welcome the idea for my lower pri kid but If my child is in pri 5/6 now and an avg student, I will be kinda of worried with all these changes…In my opinion, the school seems like in a state of ‘complacent’.

Hi pinktea, really nice to see your viewpoint here! I do agree that there is more to just extra homework and extra hours spent in school. What we really should be focused on at this phase for our kids is to nurture their joy of learning, creative thinking and most importantly, life skills. All of us have been through the standard education process in SG and most of my friends agree, there is always plenty of years out there where we have to work hard, harder and harder still. Childhood years are precious memories where we built social skills by playing with friends, teamwork by learning through games and honestly, I am glad my kid doesn’t have to do long hours and face more homework in and after school. Of course, being too relaxed is also not a great idea but for now, I haven’t felt like PCPS has let down my kid academically.


cyn32 - Before/After School Care - There’s quite a few around TPY and I send my kid to PlayFacto which is so far not too bad.

To all parents trying to get their child into PCPS, all the best tomorrow morning!

I share the same sentiment. Yes, overly complacent! For all the changes made early this year, I fail to see any benefit but getting worse off. No PTM, no AS, no (or minimal) HW, no streaming from P4 to P5, duration of HCL lesson reduced by 50%... In fact, it is kind of worrying as elder one is going to be in P5 next year. Let us all pray good PSLE results will just drop from the sky.

Hi, I am an ex student of RGPS and my DD is now 3, as our home is at boon keng, and Pei Chun in the 2km radius. I afraid the commute for her for RGPS would be far. hence I am considering to apply PCPS

There are a couple of pri schools I am considering, but am unsure if I will waste the 2A chance of getting her in RGPS. She is 3 now, isit early to consider PV to ensure her ballot chances?
