Anderson Primary

mumenetan:
It wasn’t announced. I believe this is the norm in all schools now. They only showed the top 3 students from each class followed by the top students in the cohort. No mention of how much they got.Would like to know if any kids is taking school bus? I am staying in Tampines.. and not sure if the sch bus can go that far. Is there a pre-designated bus company taking care? would be great to have the contact. thanks
Also, can i know the PSLE passing results for this year? and average T score? -
Like many parents, I’m very curious about APS? Some parents have feedback that the school has been over-rated, but many are still rushing to get their kids in. It couldn’t be becos of vicinity or phrase 2A option right? Called the school if they have Open House and they said they don’t have. Asked them then how I know how’s the environment and facilities are conducive for learning? They just replied many parents are ‘queuing’ to sent their kids here and so far no one complained. I was like??? Some also say that APS is an elite school. Can anyone define elite in this context?

I had the same feel on anderson. There’s no affiliation to the secondary school. So probably a competitive environment but is that what you want…gotta ask yourself.

Managed to visit and tour the school. Overall, clean and vibrant environment with many facilities. School will take-in a total of 7 P1 classes with 30 students each. Rounding up to approximately 1,300 students in total. However, the student care centre is pretty small, can accommodate to only 60 kids. So may not have much placement opportunities for those who wish to place their kids there. According to the staff, their last year’s PSLE result is ranked above national average.
Canteen food seems a little costly. Saw a stall charging $1.20 - $1.50 on the price list for some sort of noodle of rice. Can’t recall clearly. Was thinking if $2 is even enough for my kid to consume a proper meal there.
Those who wish to pick-up and drop-off kids via personal vehicle may find it a little challenging. The only place to do so is along the road which has only 2 lanes and is offended congested.
When asked about their strengths, they just mentioned that they are a neighbourhood school and not to compare with other top schools.
Will be going to Mayflower Primary for their Open House to find out more about what they offer. -
They had an open house??
-
Nope, I requested to view the school before making decision. So that arranged a time for me to tour with their staff.
-
Oic! Thats nice. So it was like a personal tour? How do we go about it? Call in or email in?
-
Yes, a personal one. I called to request for the tour.

Anderson Primary School's strength is in their CCAs (wide variety of 14 CCAs) and especially in their performing arts CCAs.
All 6 groups won awards (5 distinctions- highest award, 1 accomplishment- 2nd highest) at the SYF.
You can visit https://www.singaporeyouthfestival.sg/arts-presentation/syf-2018-ap-results for more information.
The top PSLE student in 2017 is a basketball player who went to Hwa Chong Institution through the Direct Schools Admission (DSA) exercise.
The school offers a well-rounded education without losing its academic rigor.
They partner with Zhonghua Cultural Society to teach moral values to pupils (Dizigui- Standards for Being a Good Student and Child) during Chinese Language periods. You can visit https://sites.google.com/a/dizigui.org.sg/english/home for more information.
The school also organises parenting talks on Saturdays to help parents.
I suppose the school is called a neighbourhood school because it does not take in top 1% GEP pupils in P4 like Rosyth and Henry Park.
The school takes part in the healthy meals in schools program where stallholders serves brown rice, wholemeal bread, fruits and vegetables to pupils. Please visit https://www.hpb.gov.sg/schools/school-programmes/healthy-meals-in-schools-programme for more details.
I am glad my children have a chance to study at Anderson Primary School.
