Hi hamham,

my girl takes the school bus, but I drop by almost everyday during recess.

my girl wasn’t doing as expected, or maybe we set our standard too high?! But, her addition and subtraction is getting from bad to worse, hiaz.

you have only 1 kid? you stay near KPS?
We’re staying at CCK Cres, so it’s nearer, and more convenient to go YTPS than KPS. Also, with 3 kids… I’ll prefer a school that’s more convenient to travel to, in case of rain, ECA, etc…

Which class is your girl in? Mine’s in 1I.

Hello yewteemum,


I have 2 kids. My girl is the eldest and her brother will join her in 2 years time.
Yes, I'm staying near at KPS, walking distance. CCK crescent is near.why need a bus?walking distance right?

She is in class 1G.

Near but not convenient, esp if it rains, and I have to bring 2 kids to school. My #2 is studying at CCK Bible Church Kindy (nursery), so I don't want to lug 2 kids with 2 bags up and down the bus.

Any mummies with kids going to KJP next year?


My gal is being balloted out of Southview & we registered her in KJP. Very sad but lucky to read some very good reviews here before i go into depression. She's still got 2 little brothers so I'm quite worried.

Any mummies can help to tell me more about the school? How's the standard like. Me so worried abt the canteen food too coz my gal is quite choosy. **Sigh** Kids nowadays are very pampered lah.

BTW how does the student care centre charges nowadays? What do the kids do there huh? Pardon me ya, coz she's my 1st kid & I'm really blur. If they charges are high, I might as well stay home, can guide in her homework too. Mmm.. maybe I can consider doing childsitting service too

Hi bigmama,


The canteen food is quite standard. Noodles and rice etc. They only have 30mins break or maybe shorter times cos sometimes lessons end late. Don't worry too much becos school will arrange a buddy system (Pri 5) for a week to guide your girl during recess time. Parents will only advised to visit 2 days to check on their child.

Abt the student care, the estimate cost will be $300 ++. Inclusive of breakfast, lunch and assessment books. They will be occupied with activities before school. They have reading session, do assessments, teachers will give spelling etc. During holiday there will be excursions ( outdoor actitivites ), games etc.

All sorted !!

Hi Tinkerbell,


Firstly, welcome to Singapore, and KSP forum.

Did you try to talk to the teacher? The chinese teachers are mostly from China (from what I see), so maybe that’s why no explanation in English. Furthermore, if they keep explaining in English, it might hinder the learning of Chinese.

Happened to meet a parent of my girl’s classmate (from Myanmar). She was telling me she sent her son to the CC for chinese tuition, on top of an enrichment class (which I forgot which school). Maybe you can try the CC (Community Centre) near your place, to see if they have chinese tuition for P1.
