Woodlands Primary

[sesame]

Hihi,

My girl failed to secure a place in Greenwood at Phase 2C. Considering Woodlands Pri and Sembawang Pri which are both 1-2km from us. Only issue is that in Woodlands, there is a history of balloting for 1-2km. Meaning, if we dont get a seat again, we will be under phase 3. For the the people i know, i think we are the only ones who registered for Primary schools 3 times.

My girl has \"graciously\" left the decision to us so before we decide, I like to know if Woodlands Primary matches our idea of a good primary school in the following terms.

1) Friendly, not highly stressed on academics environment
2) Good teachers group (i do understand various teachers will act differently but on the whole?)
3) For those parents whose kids are there, are they happy going to school?
4) Parent - teachers communication
5) Strong moral building

I really hope my child will have a good and happy 6 years education before \"fighting\" the war in secondary school. Hope the school can assist to build up the child's character to be compassionate, confidence and resilent in life.

Hi AIO,

I just called the office.
They say will ask someone from the commitee to give me a call on the activities needed.

Btw..
they told me pri 1 and pri 2 are afternoon sessions in 2012.
Any chance when they will move to morning session?

Hi Moonliu,


Yes worksheets and workbook. English/Math, average 4 times a week,
1-2 pcs each time. Chinese mainly workbook, worksheet only during
topical review practice. (Talking about P1/2 \"bring-home-work\").
Workbooks are usually done in school.

Which level is your child/children?
