Hope all of you had a R&R weekend after the few days of topical tests for the kiddos.


Looking at the 2012 - P1 Registration Exercise and noted that for Phase 2C, TGPS had the highest numbers of registration in AMK zone. A good indication that neighbourhood school is also now doing well in term of academic and holistic teaching.

Wishing all a Happy 46th National Day holiday!

Cheers!

Hi,


I’ve registered my son in TGPS for 2012. Could any of the parents here enlighten me the school hour of the school, esp for P1? (i.e. what time do the school start and end?) Thanks a lot.

hi Isaliz,


We look forward to welcoming your DS to the TGPS Family and hope that you will also enjoy the journey with your son. I believe the school will be arranging an orientation for the P1 children/parents. Likely it will give you an idea of the school hours.

My son is currently in P1 and his school hours are 7.30am to 1pm (Mondays - Fridays). With the introduction of Math enrichment and English Speech & Drama class this term, his wed and thurs are now extended till 3pm.

Also P1 children may sign up for CCA (optional), so if your DS has interest to join a sport or club, again depending on days/time, he may be required to stay back or return back to school in the afternoon for the CCA.

Hope this helps and do feel free to call the school if you need further clarification.

Dear all,


Happy to share this good news with all:

The Straits Times, Thursday, 07 July 2011. (Pg B6)
Education Minister Heng Swee Keat presented the Outstanding Youth in Education Award to 3 recipients - one of them is Ms Jerine Teh, 29, from Teck Ghee Primary School.

Glad to know that the school has committed teachers whom has passion towards teaching and the children.

Thanks for sharing. My son told me his teacher loaned him some money to buy food today as I (bad mummy :p) forgot to give him his pocket money. I'm glad his teacher cares to make sure he doesn't go hungry or thirsty

Hi,


I’m new to this forum/thread, would like to hear from parents/staff whether the noise from the nearby MRT track & main road cause any problem to the students ? Do the teachers and students have to speak louder than normal ? And are there a lot of disruptions due to the noise ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi M-M,


Welcome to the TGPS thread and a very interesting question that you had posted. From a parent perspective, i have no major complain of such \"noise\" from my 2 children whom are studying in the school. Beside TGPS, there are few other schools located along the MRT track and so if the \"noise\" level is too high, i believe the schools will surely feedback to SMRT.

Hope this helps and will try to find out more on this topic from the school. Btw, is your child joining the TGPS Family soon?

Regards,
Astee

Thanks for your prompt reply, Astee.

My daughter is 3 yrs old, intends to send her there. I also have a neighbour who is interested to send her 5 yrs old son there and share similar concerns.
Cheers !

Hi M-M,


Always a pleasure to share. Yes, there are few other parents on this forum whose child is of same age group as yours. Good to see all the parents doing forward planning.

Feel free to raise any other area of concerns that you and your neighbour may have, i will be happy to check with the schools, because i believe we all share the same thoughts too... :goodpost:

Have a good weekend.

Hi M-M,


Welcome to the forum. My boy is in P1 this year. I have not heard him complaining about the nise from MRT. Hence I think it should not be a problem for the students.

Hi Astee,
I have not read this forum for a while. Glad to see more new parents joining us. Looks like TGPS is gaining popularity

This is the last month of term 3. Coincidently there are quite a number of long weekend this month. Good for the kids to have some spare time preparing for the test next week. Do you know if the school will require the kids to study at home this Friday and Thursday? Also heard from a friend that her daughter’s school has the kids going to school in the afternoon during the PSLE test period in September. Do you know if TGPS does that as well? That will be a headache for me as I works in the morning when both my kids are in school. If DS going to be at home in the morning, will need to find someone to look after him :-(. Good to know it in advance so that I can plan and make arrangement for it.
