Yew Tee Primary

hello all


my gal is in P2 this year...

I think YTPS is pretty ok... My gal's been adapting very well in the school since P1. The teachers are always very responsive, at least for the past 1.5 years, my gal's teachers read their emails and responded pretty fast. One thing worth mentioning is they do hv programme in the middle of 3rd term to allow parents to attend the classes with pupils (but just merely sitting at the back of the class to observe) to allow us to see ourselves how the teachers handle the class and how the kids mingle with their friends...

Am wondering if CCA is compulsory? Is it from P3 onwards? since they are some P3 mummies here...

They say cca is officially offered from P3 but if your child is interested in some cca from p1 , you can check with cca teacher. Now the school is offerring competitive cca, and free but they will train to participate in competitions. If you are looking for leisure purpose, the school also offers, but sometimes you have to pay and may have go to school on saturday. The catch here is that cca may help you with DSA application later.

Thanks mama_mia! :lol: Ya at every parent briefing, the school would never forget to inform us abt the DSA and try to encourage the children to take part in competitive cca.... so it's not really \"compulsory\" to start from p3? is there anyone not participating in cca at all?

which school do you have higher chance of getting in?
if not, look at their CCA range and let your kid decide which one appeals to him/her.

Badminton is one of their strength. Free training starts in P2.

Hi Lynbaby....eventually which sch did you chose and gotten into? I am just staying in Quintet and we were unsuccessful with phase 2C ballot.

Now we are deciding which other schs we can select. By the way, any mommies on this forum which kids already in YTPS to advise the chances of any withdrawal and having an internal balloting?

I have 2 more younger kids and no domestic helper. Logistics is v impt for me so YTPS is a natural sch. Now I have to enroll my girl to a sch farther from home...which is really frustrating and disappointing...any advice for me?
Possible transfer to YTPS later?? ANy advice is helpful and appreciated! thanks

The new principal at YTPS is so ‘shut door’ policy person. I can’t believe how laid back the P6 trs are. Lets b practical,v here about schs running extra classes during hols n this sch had none during jun only in sept n boy was it lame! I regret having 2 kids here;hoping to transfer my 2nd to another sch soon.
