[Choa Chu Kang] Primary Schools

[Meowie]

Thankyou buds for replying to ksunflower. Of course the comment I made is not useful because personally my child is not from any of those schools. Like what you say, its just a hearsay thing I gather from another mommy. Of course I would love to hear feedbacks from Unity as well since I’m sending my child to Unity and race is not a factor in my decision making. But sadly no one replys about this school and I’m new to this forum. I’m aware SV has a topic of its own, but what about Unity PS? Could you advise where I could find more information and feedbacks about this school?

Bb... bbbbuuuuttt.. he was contaminating the students with tardy language. :frustrated:

I knew after i met him face to face that i CANNOT depend on this teacher to ensure my DD has a
solid foundation of the concepts taught at P3. I even shared with him how to make his lessons less
boardy (whiteboard teaching=rote learning) and shared with him my materials. I believe
good things are for sharing and i vote for anything good that can benefit children in general.

hehe.. you are a tutor? or doing something similar? As I thought you are a SAHM? :? :scratchhead:

Hi

when you apply, you have to choose one school and go down and apply.

use this link to measure the distance of the school from your home: http://www.onemap.sg/index.html

SV balloting is needed for <1km.

No chance RJG. :hugs: You have only one choice of school..

Hi buds, meowie and all,


Thanks for all your comments on YTPS & Unity.Appreciate it. Personally, I have checked both school on past PSLE results recored. Unity published individual students' results but YTPS only shared with the public in terms of %.

ALthough Unity has produced a top PSLE student in 1 year(2005? or 2007-can're really recall) but that to me is not consistent as it is only just mere 1 year, all depends on the student & quality of teachers at that year. Unless it is consistently scoring top almost every year.

Nevertheless, I think there are not much choices of schools as it is governed by the distance rule for those who do not qualify in the earlier phases.

What I would like to find out more about these 2 school are the personal experiences for those parents that have direct/ indirect experiences with the school in terms of interaction of the teachers, children studying in these 2 schools on both the standard of teaching and the environment for good studying.
:?
Hope to hear more comments from parents that are willing to share.
:thankyou:

ksunflower, did you go to the openhouse for these 2 schools before? Will give you a very good view of what they have to offer (that was how I decided on the school for my kid) … 1 way of doing it (but I’ve not done it before) is to stand outside the gate after school’s over to talk to the parents and observe.


I hear YTPS’s standard is going up, esp with the new Principal that puts in new initiatives like sending the P1/P2 kids to swimming classes during school hours. Homework is very little though and a mixture of the teachers that one gets there. I personally find that the school’s environment could be better (if compared to another school like SV)… with the train stopping the run behind the school, it should be better.
