I’m very new to singapore Primary school education system.I came to singapore before 6 years to do my masters at NTU. I liked this city and now working here.Need all of your help to know about Primary school education system.What is CCA?Is it compulsory to do CCA?Do they have any point system for CCA as they have it in university?

Anna, you are a teacher ? You use to teach in YTPS ? Maybe I have met you before..


honeybeel : Sam Wong is a very dynamic principal. He speaks well and he seems very warm & kind. It was rumoured that MOE sent him to Kranji to up the enrollment. The lady VP is also very nice. I don't know about the new principal though. Kranji has vacancies in phase 3 so the school has many(more than the other schools) pupils from China, Korea, Phillipines. If you look on the positive side, it has a multi-cultural feel and fewer classes so your child has more opportunities for different experiences.eg. participate in concerts, show&tell, selected as pupil leader/prefect. On a negative note, teachers MAY need to go slower as most of these children need more attention & help with our syllabus. After all, they are not prepped by the local kindys and enrichment classes. P1->P2 is enbloc promotion, P2->P3 they are put into classes according to results. Hence, at P3, the child will be in a similar ability class (banded class) or a mixed ability class. I'll suggest you monitor your child's progess in P1 and take appropriate actions. There are reasons why this school is not so popular but there are also children who did well and achieved their potentials. There is also an element of luck - depends on what kind of classmates and teachers she gets.

Btw, I am new to this forum. My child is in SV..upper primary liao. I went through all these years ago.

Hope this helps.

Yes, indeed it helps. I am quite uncertain of the school as not much discussion in the forum and information on the website.
But anyway, it is fated, and perhaps she can get good teachers and buddies there.

Today, my girl also ask me whether the school is good. I was \"huh!\" :shock: . she also have a discussion among her classmates (just like us kiasu parents...). Then I ask her how to you think about the school. Her answer was: I think the school is good because the building is very colourful.
Thankfully, she is positive about the school.. :rahrah:

Dear Ramya:

I am also not clear about the education system here, that's why i join this Kiasu Parent.com and definitely this is the right place to get the “formal” & “informal” information, besides that can chit chat also. Not only about the education, also “weight management”.

Dear Cafelattle:
Thanks for your comments of the Kranji PS, and so far I think not much discussion about this school & I believe that the info helps lots of parents who register their kid in yr09 or in future.
I not a full time teacher in YT, just a relief teacher when I was doing my master in NUS 8 years ago. To be frank, cannot really remember my colleagues already. :lol: :lol:

Dear Honeybeel:
I think most importantly you should not “show” that you are very disappointed of Kranji PS as this may cos negative impacts to your girl. Since you have to accept this reality, just think positively and as what cafelattle said “monitor your child’s progress”. I believe your girl will be doing well; she is very mature compare with my boy.

Yes, I am very clear we parent really play a very important part on how we may influence them and the children are very smart and they really can pick-up what's in your mind.....
I am going to Kranji PS for P1 registration later in the afternoon. Will also bring my girl along.
