Any good feeback for Xingnan Primary?

Hope to have some feedback for Xingnan Primary?[/quote]

We visited Xingnan Primary during their open house in 2009. Their focus on Chinese had strongly \"buy\" me over. I personally like Xingnan Chinese teacher in P5. Spoken to him on that day. U can read more about him in their website. The drawback for not having Xingnan as my 1st choice because it look like a \"old fashion\" to me when it state no ctr parting for boys hair.
As son wanted to go GW (his best friend in childcare ctr since N2 is in P1A for GW), so GW is our 1st choice. When we are unsucessful for the ballot in GW, Xingnan vacany is too little to take risk for P2C supp. We enrol to JYPS.
Personally, I still like Xingnan partly because of their focus in Chinese and that sir.[/quote] :love:

I'm also quite impressed by Xingnan as they are teaching qian ju we which kids will learn chinese words which they are supposed to learn from P1 to Sec 4. They really emphasis more on chinese. My son is in JYPS too. I don't like the system and his teachers. Kind of forgetful and not strict. Wanted to transfer him out but I don't know whether to choose XN or WG. WG is walking distance from my house. For XN, my boy got to take sch bus but I like their system. What do u or anyone suggest?

Hi Lee, with your experience, do you think Xingnan is a good school and how are their overall teachers & environment? I appreciate if you could share your experience with XN.

Hi, as my boy is only there for 2 terms, hard to give a definite answer. I will said their school done well in parent teacher relationship building. They organized workshop for parent to understand more on syallabus requirement, parenting workshop etcm, which I liked it.

Any idea if this school is better than pioneer? in your own opinion of course.

I dont like pioneer because it is too near Gek Poh ... some students hang around there after school.

I’m a parent of Xingnan kids. Now they have changed principal. I like this new principal as they finally focus on english. I’m not saying not good for the focusing on chinese, but for us china born parents we feel more difficult in english education. Now I follow the new principals requirements, read straits times with my boy for 15 minutes every day. Their chinese standard is really high. Last year I never gave my daughter one piece of practise paper or assesment book on chinese. She just followed teachers in shool and got A* (chinese) +3 in her PSLE. The top score for the school last year PSLE is 272.

Hi,


I am also a parent of Xingnan Primary School. Personally, I like the Chinese programme that are provided to the students. My girl has enjoy the star programme and has benefitted alot from it. She has also improved within a short 2 1/2 months.

Hmmm, looks like most of the feedback are about strong in Chinese. How about other subject?

I realised that many vacancies left in Phase 2C for Xingnan for year 2010 and also past years, no balloting.
Wonder why not so popular.

I am considering XN too and wondering if I should do PV. But realise that XN has vacancy even in pahse 2CS, so actually no need PV also can get into the school.

The new principal seems put a lot of effort on academy. My son is in P5,They have a lot of after class enrichment. My son has attened English debating, Science Olympic, and Creative Math. They also have math Olympic, teachers from Math hub and Science hub. My son love the class, I think cos he is with his friends. I have sent him to Math hub one sem, but he did not like it. School subsidised price is much cheaper and can pay by education fund.
