Wellington Primary

[hiya]

WTPS organised FOC parents workshops, such as the di zi gui workshop. At the end of the DZG workshop, the student has to serve a cup of water to their own parents etc. Other workshop includes Maths Model teaching & science workshops for the upper pri parents who wish to learn some skills to support their children homework.


CCAs are during school hours, only extra trainings are held after school for those school teams representatives.

School will also encourage selected students to take external tests, eg: ICAS, SASMO, RI for eng, maths, science. Subsidies rate for these tests.

Overseas immersion programmes for P4/P5 are to Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai.

WTPS group the students from P3 onwards, around top 80 students are grouped into 2 APEX classes (Maths & Languages) based on their academic results, which are taught at slightly faster pace. The rest of the students are grouped randomly, not based on academic. Although i not sure if they will change in the near future as the new principal has make slight change for the P3 & P4 for this year.

The teachers will depends on your child’s luck if he/she gets a good teacher or not. There are some wonderful & great teachers while some (main subject) teacher cannot make it.

More school events can be found in the school facebook.

Hi amberflo, my ds has been in Proteach for the past 2 years (P1 to P2) and will continue with Proteach next year. I think it is generally okay - they do check the students' organizers to see if they have homework. My ds never comes home with homework haha. They also allow the students to read and learn spelling during student care hours. During the school holidays, they organize outings which ds enjoys very much.

Teachers are alright. What puzzles me is that the Proteach teachers keep changing. It seems like the staff turnover is very high. Ds doesn't care cuz it doesn't affect him at all.

Hi,


Anyone has any idea if there are one or two P3 APEX classes in WTPS next year? Someone from this thread says 2 classes of APEX classes but there seems to be only one class next year…

I only know P5 & P6 still have 2 APEX classes. Refer to your booklist, APEX classes will need to buy additional maths practice book, for hint on which classes are APEX.

Thanks hiya! Ds is required to buy the math book but he's not in the APEX class. Ds was told 3A is APEX. 3B is 'very good class'.

It used to be 1 APEX- Maths & 1 APEX- Languages class. Next year P5 and below are classes A & B. P6 classes still E (languages) & F (maths) classes. I asked a form teacher last year, they actually mixed the students in the 2 APEX classes now, except the coming P6 students... Now there is a lack of strong bonding unlike last time.. where the students are classmates for 4 consecutive years from P3 to P6.

Anyway, APEX classes doesnt guarantee the best form/subject teachers. 1 of the APEX class has the worst teacher i ever met in Wellington pri. I praying i wont get that teacher again for the rest of my child's school years in Wellington.

I am thinking of registering my child (p1 in 2021). Seeing that there are bad teachers is a little worrying. Anyone feedback to the principal before? E principal came from admiralty pri which is a very good school in Woodlands. I hope he do something abt these lemon teachers.
