[Toa Payoh] Primary Schools

shalomger:

Hi to parents who are sending their kids to KC! My son has spent the last three years here and has enjoyed himself tremendously. The teachers work very closely with the parents & are dedicated to the kids. Also found that my DS's mandarin improved in KC. They have HMT and MT available with excellent Mandarin teachers. Even hubby was decidedly impressed by them.


KC's niches are basketball and chess. DS was in the school chess team from P1. The teacher in charge is Mrs Ho, a very nurturing teacher who loves her charges as her own. The Chess team and its parents are like a family. Very warm and friendly.

KC is definitely not a \"lousy neighborhood school\". I have witnessed the extra efforts the staff puts in to help the kids. This year they were recognized to be one of the most improved schools. I am sure they will keep on improving. Don't pass them on or \"see them no up\". I love how they reinforce excellent values in their students.

I hope your kids will enjoy their time with this school. DS has enjoyed his three years and we part ways with KC with a somewhat happy yet heavy heart. DS is moving on to a new school due to his acceptance into the GEP. We see KC as being a partner in bringing him over to this new chapter of his life with us.

Hi, Shalomger. I am moving to Toa Payoh lor 2 this July 2012. I need to transfer my daughter who is currently Primary 4 from a school in bukit panjang to a school in Toa Payoh. I need your advice. My daughter is more comfortable speaking in English than Mandarin. She also reads more English books than Chinese books. On one hand, I hope that her Chinese will improve in Kheng Cheng's environment, but on the other hand I worry that she will feel \"out of place\" in the \"chinese\" environment. What do you think. By the way, do you think it is easy to do a transfer at Primary 4? If I do the transfer next year, I worry the travelling for half a year to bukit panjang will be too tiring. Also, how many classes are there in KC for primary 4, which one is the \"academically good\" class.

Hi, I am new to this thread. I am hoping to get my son in St Andrews Junior. He is cared by my sister who’s address is within 2km of the school. Any one has any idea of the chances? How many places in total does the school have every year?

Hi everyone,

My son is a PR from China. Our home is near both the Potong Pasir and Woodleigh MRT stations. We are looking for a school providing higher Chinese lesson or more Chinese oriented. Due to the new registration rule, our choice is very limited. We don’t anticipate to get seat from those TOP school like Pei Chun. Are there any schools recommended? Thanks in advance!
