Punggol Primary

[darrengct]

Hi all,


My son will be in the P1 registration for next year enrolment.
I emailed to Punggol Primary, and they immediately listed down their PSLE results for past three years. I have to say I am quite impressed. I don’t know about their highest score, but for me, the individual subject and overall passing rate are more important, showed how well balanced the school is.
Their passing rate for main stream is around 98% for past two years, quite impressive, individual subjects at 93% average.
I will definitely put Punggol Primary as my first choice, cos results show the calibre of the teachers.

Dear all - both my kids are in Punggol. So far my kids enjoy their study there. There is a buddy reading system whereby my gal is helping those P1 child who is weak in English to read.

Hi hdbtaitai8,


Thanks for the valuable info.
I am considering Punggol as my first choice over HIPS.
Do you put your kids in the Student Care centre around the school or school bus?

Hi Parents,


Is this school operating in one or two session?

Hi Darrengct,
At first, i was considering HIPS as my first choice but noticed that the school is quite academic oriented and too "china". I prefer a well balanced school in term of academic & CCA. Thus, Punggol might be a better choice. Can you tell me why Punggol is your first choice over HIPS?

Hi Melody,

I feel HIPS too Cina too. I guess cos its SAP school. Punggol is double sessions, which I don't quite like. To me, I don't want to push my son too hard too fast. if u want, we can chat more over MSN. My id is [email protected]

I’ve been to the Punggol Primary open house yesterday. Is any parent in this thread has been there as well? The principal gave me the impression that she is a nice lady and easy going person.


After the simple and informative introduction session, the HOD (head of department) bring us to tour around the school in different groups. The eco science art work done by the students is really good! There is a small garden with lots of plants; butterly park and fish pond and a cooling resting area where they are using the solar energy.

I find the school is quite well balance

May i know what is mainstream and express stream under PSLE result? The school’s previous years PSLE result for mainstream was nearly 100% and express stream was 80% over.

There are no student care centers directly linked to this school but there are few centers outside the school.


The school is moving towards single session by 2014.
