      I remember this school say dont use this kiasu parents complain. They want everyone write the school so everyone cant see complain things.


      They want save face all time. They never say when they wrong. I took my kidz out of this school because they shame the kidz front of all school. They put the kidz on stage so they face all the school because they late return forms. This is no good for kidz. Same group parent always promote this school in kiasu parents.

        I understand why you took your kid out.


        I checked with my child and they have stopped the public shaming thing. Have to give credit for the school for doing that. I am glad my child did not have to go through that. Must be tough but shaming children in front of the whole school…I cannot imagine what the child is going through.

        Honestly we have been thinking about it too. It is not just the issues with academics. The p4 maths exam paper was the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more we have seen and heard about this school, some of it coming from the psg themselves. A lot of parents do not know what to expect because they have sent their firstborns in this school. However, if you look closely and compare, you will see that this school is obsessed with its image as opposed to actually ensuring the right education. A lot of the good initiatives are also found in other schools, some of catching up with holistic education and really ensuring well-rounded education without sacrificing the subject grades. Will be looking into how feasible it is to remove my child.

              Are there many stories going around the school? Yes. The school has many issues.


              Is the school really popular? Yes. The school constantly post pictures, vids, and here the forum is full of parents painting one side of the school. But popular doesn’t mean good. Popular doesn’t mean quality.
              Branded hangbags do not have promote so much – customers know their quality. Lousy goods need to keep promoting. Many parents will go to this sch because new and shiny. Many new houses in the area so always have students going in. That doesn’t mean it is good.

              sum moree send their P6 students to legoland to learn studying when PSLE is around the corner. I understand that the students need to relax but it is not fair to push what you believe on your students. Maybe right now they should just focus on psle…I t is less that a few weeks and months away.

              See next year psle, and the year after that and the year after…slowly u will see this school rot.

              I don’t hate the school but tthe school has always believe itself as the best and the army of parents also defend the schools, sometimes blindly.

              I am annoyed because many children are in the school as well and they need to be taught right. But because they cannot see the error in their ways ah, they just steamroll all the way.

              I want parents to ask more questions and think more carefully about any other school before just putting their children there. dont believe all the wayang, wayang

                  Isn’t the feedback that you had read based on the parents’ experiences on how the school is like?

                    Yes, but I need to know specifically like why the children decide to move out of the school. Is it because of the academics?

                        not that great. I think its so so. The worksheets are poor quality. I used worksheets for the neighboring schs. The teaching also sometimes wrong.


                        Sometimes the resources r good sometimes not so good. Luckily i have an older child i kept all her primay sch things and have been using it.my child says the play lessons can be boring one.

                        But i like westspring. It is near my house and its a typical sch la. Nothing crazy so that is good.

                        They use to shame kids on stage in front of the whole school I think the children left because of the shaming thing. Parents did not like it but they stop already.
