North Vista Primary

[FAINT]

From the very start of school. I let him buy food on his own. Let him be daring and also train him to be more independent.

I just downloaded the 2012 sch layout from the website and noticed that there are classes which are banded. Could anyone advise what is banded class? On the same day the school emailed the same copy which do not show which is banded class. Maybe the school has upload the wrong copy which is not for parent viewing, to their web site.

Any parents with children going P5 in 2012 willing to sell their kids P4 Houghton Mifflin Grade 4 Anthology English text books? Please email me at [email protected]

tingb, I only received the email from sch today and the attached layout showed the banded classes. I’m also curious what that means.


Need some clarification about this…In the email, it was stated that P1 students will be dismissed by their last -period subject teachers at all gates. Does this mean the teacher will bring the students to the various gates?

Hi there,


I'm also a mom of a new primary 1 student at North Vista. Received the email and my child's class is categorized as \"Banded\". I'm curious too

I am curious too. What does ‘banded’ stands for?

[FAINT]

i also curious what is "banded" liao. hahah. never mind. so long kids go and back happily to and from school. The teachers will mould them to resourceful students. Don’t worry. Primary 1 parents should enter from the back gate to fetch your children. Then tell them where you want to fetch them from in future as there are other option at the school.

Just wondering if there's any parents from P1-5 here wish to exchange contact with me. Kindly PM me.

Hi All,


I've read about this & find it really interesting...

My boy is now in P3 this year (2012) at NVP. Frankly, I regret choosing this school but because I used to stay just behind NVP, so naturally, I enrolled my boy there and when I went for the School Open house, I was amazed by the teaching methods, the software & IT items they use in school. But sadly, it's ONLY talk...The Principal love to boast about the school teaching methods but really regret.

Like some parents said, yup true : Involve $$$... P2 are required (encouraged) to buy Netbook which cost almost $800 ++ Need to buy from school as claim that school software will be build into the Netbook. Cannot use own netbook. Principal, really sucks. Don't listen to feedback, always \"cover up\" teachers mistake. It happen to me before. It's good that the Principal protect the teachers if Parents are too much or use vulgarity but if teachers are irresponsible, then the Principal should appreciate feedback. Cost of foods in school is consider expensive for Government school compare to other Primary School in Sengkang. Moreover, they have 2 recess : Snack time 10am-10.20am ,then : Lunch Time 12.35pm-1.15pm... They start school at 8.00am (be in school by 7.50am) end school at 2.45pm.

I remembered when my boy was in P1 (2010), they changed the school timing : 8am-3.30pm, which is super long hours for school except for Wed, they end at 12.30pm... After so much complaints from parents, they decided to change the school timing back to 8am-2.45pm...

A few unhappy incidents took place, I write in to MOE but sadly, MOE still revert to NVP to answer my complaints/feedbacks. Replied by school was not convincing. I shifted home last year and request for transfer but I did not get nearby school, so I choose to let my boy continue in NVP. Went to see MP for nearby school, still no progress. I really hope my boy can get out of the school which I am still waiting for the progress.

I'm still checking out the results of the PSLE (2011) from the students of NVP but so far, no way to check.. Haizz... If your child is already in NVP, maybe we can share info, can PM me.. Thanks

Anyway, Just to highlight, this year seems there is slight improvement in NVP. Maybe because of too many transfer out and complaints/feedback from parents.


So for parents whom have NVP students, lets cross fingers that the school will make good changes. Anyway, in every school, Principal will not be in the same school for long... :boogie: :boogie: :boogie:
