Thanks Eddow


That's helpful.

I took for granted every school has a school field like every school has a canteen...well, now I know.

The cafe is the first thing that caught my attention. We used to have canteen with wooden benches and tables. TKP cafe is like the miniture of what starbucks's ..

Which phrase will you be registering your kid ? If you check back on the school progress, it's progressing tremendouly over the past fews years...
another point to add.. As the school is a mix of cultures(thou not so much now), the student's Chinese language is not as strong. But the MT teachers are good.

Miniature Starbucks! :imcool:
M considering Ph2C. DD P1 in 2013. Progress - do you mean the academic progress? I couldn't find any information on the schools academic performance. Can you show me where? Thanks.

You also mention MT teachers are good. Can you elaborate? Sorry to ask so many questions...m really keen to find out more about the school. :please:

I didn't keep the link and forgot where I saw it. Like you, I was comparing which school to enrol my son in 2006. First choice then was TaoNan, but I was out of the 2km ring. Was comparing Temasek Pri as well, but found that TKP is better

DS1 is not very good in chinese oral, teacher has a 1 to 1 oral practice test after school with him, and point out all his mistakes directly. All students say his MT teacher fierce, but she's good. There's always laughter in her class. Despite being punished to copy lines as he forgot to bring his stuff to school, he still love her lesson daily.
Or would say that kids are luckily to come across such teachers that make lesson non-boring..

Hi all,


My son has just been enrolled into TKPS, P1 next year. Can anyone advise me if they have a before/after school care service, or can recommend a good one nearby which offers school transfer service as well?

Thanks in advance!

There is no before school care in TKP (since P1 and P2 is in the pm session). As for nearby, I've no idea, hope someone can share on that.

Hi,

My daughter is 2007 born and am looking for parents who have done PV for TKPS.
How should I go about it? I am new to Singapore and we are PRs. Also, I am a working mom, so all the PV on the weekdays etc? Please advise

Hi libran, Yes, the PV are normally during weekday. Maybe can check with the school see what you can offer, such as traffic control in the morning 6.30am to 7.30am before you go to work.
But once again, doing PV DOES NOT guarantee a place in the school :xedfingers:
