Hougang Primary

[serenejz]

Hi parents,


Just shifted to hougang few mths ago. I am looking at Hougang Primary School for my son. Wanting to find out how is the school overall? Principal, the teachers, academic and CCA?

Hopefully parents here can share your views n opinion with me.

PS: I am considering xin min pri school also.

Thank you.

hi. i am newbie too. i understand i need to apply to be a pv this yr if my son is born in 2006. however, i am confused and wondering if i should choose between rosyth, hougang pri, or anderson pri. (near my mil hse). rosyth has closed application for pv in april. can advise?

Hi kkgb,
Rosyth is definately hard to get in from the review here and there, I guess it's due to their GEP status.

I suppose anderson & HGP is of the same level... normal neigbourhood school? I can't give you any review of Anderson but I'm quite happy with HGP so far (elder son in P2 this year) to see him enjoying going to school everyday.

Hi dyjofrajo,

How's you kid doing in PSLE? I can see from HGP website that the top student score 267 this year.

Hope your wish come true!

Hi Chinese Tutor,
From my experience, the school are quite tough on the students. The lower primary do mischief (my boy :)) at times but the teachers really make it a point to address the issue. eg. send them to General office for \"talking\"... hahaha

As for PV, I didn't do any so can't really tell u to go or not to go. However if you're staying >1km from HGP, I think PV is the only way for you to get in coz balloting is required for applicants within 1km for the past years..

Hi, I am a newbie to the forum. Appreciate if experienced mummies and daddies can advice/feedback on Hougang Pri. is the school good in terms of character building and Academic wise. My girl is due for P1 registeration in 2012, options is really between govt aided school and govt school. Heard that the govt schools are catching up so they are not far off from govt aided school which most of the time is just branding so to say.


Thanks.

Hi everyone, i am also new to the forum.


Hi Beface, are u VP for HGP? My son is now 4 yrs old, i am wondering if i really need to become VP although i am staying within 1km to the school. I am not familiar with the education system in Singapore, may i know what is the different between govt aided school and govt???

Thanks!!
