West Spring Primary

[Lil Rainbow]

Hi PetLover84,


Thank you for sharing, you are saying the school is just an average neighbourhood school. With that, does West Spring has lots homework? I am glad that public shaming has stopped. How abt their teachers?

If you have a choice now, choose Greenridge as what OKTeo & parentfor2 has mentioned. Teachers turnover is high. Extra remedial given to students to win competition / failed exams / for those who cannot catch up. Has lots of homework. Kids get stressed out until cry. Frequent change of class in a day for different subjects.

Dear all,


I have respond before but after looking at this forum for a while and I thought I will share my "opinion".

We , parents, have our own opinion. Some like and some don but our opinions cannot force on others. We can say only, if one wants to believe…they believe. After all, an opinion being repeated several times will make no difference.

We make up only 0.1% of the parents of the school. If you really want to know more about the school, go their Facebook.

The school got lots of parents volunteering to help out in various activities during school time. They are not forced to help out. They help out because they can and they want. I do not think parents will support the school if they are not pleased with the school.

As a parent we do not know how the teaching fraternity works. Hardly any teachers have left in the 4 years that my child has been there. My child shared that the teacher who taught him left as she was going back to NIE.

When my children come back, they tell me that they have homework, however, their homework has already been pre planned and mentioned to us earlier via SMS. Sometimes they bring home other pieces of work, that are work they couldn’t finish in class.

We, parents, shd make our own decision as we know our child the best and decide which sch is suitable. When selecting school for child, it is best that the parent has own right idea of school based on own expectations as each parent sees & expects things differently.

Lot Good teacher leave. My psg friend tell me first VP leave first year. Other teacher leave school. I got friend in PSg, she say lot parent help because want see there Kidz.

Teacher Clifford and so many other nice teachers left. Such a pity. Any idea primary school has someone trained in first aid? I think this school don’t seemed to have.

I have been a PSG for the past 4 years and had been quite updated with your concern.


In several breakfast chats, these questions were mentioned and answered.

You have mentioned teachers are leaving but do not seem to know why they left.

The teachers can leave for personal reasons such as medical, traveling distance, further advancement. So when the school do not reveal the actual reason, it will become the fault of the school where u can make a fuss over it?

So far, in my four years, I have noticed teachers leaving but not many. A few go and come is very normal and the school got no control over it. It is not fair to the school to keep harping on it.

Accidents do happen when students are playing and I have seen teachers attend to injured students and they have told me before that they were first aid trained. In fact, those teachers who are conducting outdoors education are first aid trained and they carry the first aid kit when we accompany them for their outdoor trips. The PE teachers are also first aid trained cos when I spoke to them during recess activities for PE games, they have mentioned it.

It is not right to blame the school unnecessary. The school has been trying and has been taking feedback. They are also trying so let’s give them a chance.
