Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary

[hongfai]

How do you define a good school? Students score well in their PSLE? Students behave well (character development)? Has well trained teachers? Facilities/school environment are good?


Don’t think we can find a perfect school, Sure have problems here and there. Our niceces/nephews/cousins came from well known school like RI, RJC, MGS, St. Nic, NJC, Hwa Chong… but are these schools considered as perfect/good school? Also, different people have different view and expectation from the school. For us, we see that overall performance of the school is more important that having few top students who score 275 and above and the rest are not doing well. For us, if teachers discipline our kids, fierce and strict to our kids, we are more than happy because this shows that they bother to discipline them. For character development, parents play a very important role at home too. Alot of things start from home.

aiyah ... Zoe Tay wants to get her son into Nanyang Pri. That is one of the most popular sch in Spore. :slapshead:

Anyway, the definition of a good school is subjective. It depends on what you value in life. Academic pursuits only? Moral character? etc etc.

Every pri school in Spore has to meet a minimum standard, at least academically. They have to equip the kids with the minimum knowledge required of a 12 year old. How the sch is run is largely left to the principal and his team.

Enjoy your kid now in his pre-schooler age and don't worry so much. For all you know, the educational scene may change a few years down the road.

no. kcpps has english speech and drama, incorporated into their curriculum. currently, fr P3 onwards, CCA is compulsory, but it is also during curriculum time, monday mornings.
