Guangyang Primary

I always believe happy teachers will in turn be happy teaching in the school. If they are not happy or even disgruntled, they could affect the children under their charge. Not my problem really, my kids will not be going to the school.

Anyway, I was trying to find out more about GYPS for a relative. Not needed anymore.

Thanks, Marzuki, for sharing. Think what you mentioned is real. I also heard from my neighbour whose children are in GYPS that some of the teachers are complaining about the P after one of the recent school events. My neighbour is thinking if she should transfer her kids to another school ever since a few of the best teachers in her opinion have transferred out/ are thinking of leaving. Maybe those parents in this forum monitor for another 1 or 2 years to see if really more teachers are transferring out?

Can anyone share how we have our replies threaded? I was trying to reply to Marzuki in my earlier message. Click "pm" and it’s "send private message".

just chanced upon this forum, and just want to comment that teachers who blackmouthed their (new) principal, esp. within earshot of parents or members of the public, perhaps shouldn’t be entrusted with the great responsibility of teaching young children, they seem to me to be bad examples.

I think we all have our fair shares of positive and negative reviews. If all schools are so positive then i think something is wrong… Surely got some not so good comments about school / teachers / principals. But i think as long as the children are happy, enjoy learning and thats what we parents want.

So far, i find the Prinicpal in gyps is not as bad as mentioned as i personally met her before (though its only one time, during the P1 registration). Anyway, its all our own opinion i guess…

I am very sure QYPS can do well in the coming years because the new P was from Pei Hwa Presbyterian primary school, everybody know that all the while PSLE results in Pei Hwa was good, and secondly the new P is very ambitious person, and so many teachers were unhappy with her leadership style, maybe because they are not used to the style,cant reach her standard of leadership, though they are unhappy with her, they shouldn’t blackmouthed their new principal within earshot of parents or members of the public,they should open to the P and tell her their feeling and solve the problems, teachers , P and all the staff should work as a team,treat each others like a family members and care for one another, teachers should have a heart to learn from new P, and the new P also should humble herself and listen to her teachers’ feeling.


As parent, I really wish that the P and the teachers in QYPS can work together happily, like loving parent, fair, respectful, flexible and able to bounce back after even the gravest challenges, dont quit so easily !

Teach not only with your knowledge, but also teach with your heart, the children will remember you all in their life time.

agree, well said!


because once your own internal house is divided up with internal rivalry, with problems unresolved, there is no peace. Easily prone to external enemies outside who may seize the opportunity to attack.

in contrast, if everyone inside the house / school is united, then there is UNITY. When there is Unity, there is STRENGTH! Unity and Strength come together. One school, one heart in unison. Then the school can progress forward, advance faster.

These are motherhood statements. The Principal has to remove these destructive elements in the school or coax them to work with her. If she is not successful, GY will continue to suffer the consequences of :

a. low students enrolment (I was just told that low enrolment was not due to GY being in a holding school but the school is really unpopular and failing to produce results)
b. poor results because teachers don't do their work
c. poor quality of teachers
d. poor reputation from the above and constant blackmouthing by teachers of the Principal and the school
e. etc... to many to write.

I think someone should alert the either sleeping Principal or too busy to bother with the school affairs principal of this problem, otherwise the children will suffer. Again I was told that the Principal is not accessible, maybe one kind soul can try to reach her to alert her.

Hi!! Any parents who have children in GYPS that is taking PSLE this year?

hi,


my daughter is currently in p1 guangyang primary…(I could not get a place for her to Ai tong despite a 75 pct chance!!!)…initially I and my wife were apprehensive cos we have never heard of GYPS. After nearly a yr , my daughter feels very comfy in the school …they have friendly staff…teachers and a new principal…mdm wu …though I have not spoken to the P yet…i find her style very suitable for GYPS if the school wan further progress in both academic and non academic fields. And I have enrolled my second daughter to GYPS without a second thought or stress at all.

Mixing with people from all walks of life, local or non local…are very important skill sets if ur kids want to succeed. cos the real world is not perfect world…perfect academic scores or perfect eca scores count for nothing in the real world if you dont hv good social skills…moral skills…a bit of good luck…good family bonding/support and surrounded by genuine good friends.

Thus, i feel parents should not be overly concerned about brand names primary schools or brand name perceptions…more importantly, ur kids must be taught good family values…good moral character and more importantly, ability to respect people of different backgrounds, different races and different lifestyles…
