Meridien Primary

[PasirRisPapa]

I believe this is the first time Meridian primary School is seeking feedback from students and parents in a proper manner,

i.e. the recent forum and online survey.

Both my children are pupils are Meridian Primary,
one is in sec school and another in P6 now.

Fortunately, a number of good and dedicated teachers are still around. With a new principal, hopefully more good teachers will appear and the useless ones dissappear.

My princess was previously in Meridien till P2, then change to another school in P3 cos’ we have shifted.


I think the school is really wonderful, she is always back from school talking about the compliments and kindness, not 1 but a few teachers have shown to the class. Of course, there will be reprimands, but the positive atmosphere they create for the children is really something very special.

The prinicipal, I think she’s been around for at least a few years , is very in touch with the ground, cos’ when I do parent volunteer work, I see she does a lot of walking around to feel the vibes of what’s happening very much. Not the sort that’s cooped up in the office handling only high level matters for show to the ministry. The communication within the school levels from the top rt down to the clerical level is superb. You can pose a Q and usually u can get a on the spot answer without having to be referred all over the place.

I am not sure if the Chinese lang. issue that was previously mentioned still persists but when I talk to the Chinese teachers, they are very clear of the direction that they are moving towards and from P1 syllabus, they are already creating the foundation for P6.

Well, even though my princess has left the school, I am writing in this forum cos’ the school has really left a very good impression for me and my girl. It is not a branded school, but if you take time to see and hear them out, it is a school that really cares for the children.

My friend’s child will be going to Meridien in 2012. She is staying in Telok Kurau. She is trying to find out if there is any school bus operator that goes to Meridien, or is there any parent out there car-pooling?


Thanks!!

Hi,

I am a P6 student in Meridian Primary this year.Heard that Meridian Primary is trying to band students( if i am not wrong, P2 to P6 nect year) according to their performance in their mathematics results this year. The top class will be A, followed by B then all the way until the last class. Thus, I think Meridian Primary want to focus on Mathematics more. So, if your child is in Meridian Primary, please focus on Mathematics more.:) Hope this helps!

Hi HappieNewbie123,


Does the school teach Higher Chinese?
How do you feel about this school?

[HappieNewbie123]

Hi sim,

the teachers who teach hcl will train the students to write better compositions like teaching the students more good vocsbs and phrases. the teachers will also teach the students how to answer comprehension in a way that the standard will be higher than normal students. however, the teachers will not teach normal cl. the students will hav to study themselves. only when the examination date is nearer, the the teachers will teach the students how to cope with oral and lc. so the students must be independent enough to study normal cl themselves.

Um… if u want to know how i feel, i dont really know how to describe. I love tjis sch vry much. most of the teachers there are friendly and caring. they will be ther to help me if i dont really understand a certain concept or question. but i dont really like some of the teachers there. they r not very nice and they dont really give encouragements. about a few of them dont really like those students who r quiet and talkative. they simply just ignore them. but most are good, i would say that. but i dislike the fact that the principal keep changing. the new principal does not really the old principals and that will results in some changes in the sch. the thing i like most about my sch is my friends and classmates there. i think meridians r the best ncuz when my classmate ws sick, we will help him or her to revise. my classmates have team spirit. we work well together. when it comes to psle, although everone wanted to get the top 10, we helped each other. this is the part i like most about mdps.

Hi HappieNewbie123,


Do you mean that the kids need to cope with both HCL & normal Chinese?
Thanks!
