hehe thanks Cheif KS...

The avator communicates to me the message of \"first trust to receive comfort\"

Btw any parents out there having problems with QPS bus transporter before????

Heard from a student care centre I/C that they have had run-ins with QPS drivers who gave parents \"hell\" by refusing to send/fetch kids that are \"out of their routes\".
She said that the driver was ready to leave the P1 kid at the side of the road for the childcare teachers to come fetch them cz the carpark was too \"troublesome\" to turn in :!:
How can the school transport be so irresponsible?!
11-13 buses from QPS and none willing to compromise?!

This story kind of \"freaked\" me out a little, since I'm all the way at Bkt Purmei :!:

I'm not 100% certain but I think there may not be \"textbooks\" for English anymore, just worksheets provided by the school.

Hi all,


My girl is in QtPS P4. My 2 older kids were also from QtPS but they are now in secondary schools.

Some of the exemplary teachers in QtPS include Mrs Shahrin, Mr Albert Ng, Ms Chai, Ms Lim Lay See and Ms Geraldine Lim.

Mrs Chua is going to be the new principal … anyone knows anything about her?

We're going to have a new P in QTPS? I really liked the current one.

My son's P1 teacher Mrs Pang is also very good. Very caring and understanding.

Welcome Bakugan to the QtPS family!! Though a neighbourhood school, QtPS has produced remarkable results in both academic and non-academic areas e.g. QtPS students have won 1st prizes in art competitions several times, Gold awards in international Lectora eLearning courseware competitions and Individual 1st in RI World Maths Contest’07. This is because she has a team of dedicated teachers and principals. I find the teachers in QtPS very friendly and approachable, and I know some of them rather well and still keep in contact with those who have taught my older children who are now in sec schs.


glchua - Mrs Kumar is retiring soon, by end of the year. She will be succeeded by Mrs Chua, who was formerly from Presbyterian High. Mrs Chua is now the VP (for about 2 months now) and she is quite young, only 42.

This is to allow the teachers to identify students that require remedial classes, or special attention. In each class, students are generally broken down into 3 groups (at least in my youngest daughter's time when she was in P1/2) - something like haha/mama/lala or any other names (definitely not names like high ability, medium ability, low ability) so the teachers can focus on students with differing learning abilities e.g. the weaker students will start with less words in the spelling lists.

Students will be streamed into different classes from P3 onwards - Care is the 1st class, Courage 2nd class, the rest are mixed ability classes. For MT and Maths, there are also some kind of groupings to put those in similar standards together.
