[Sembawang] Primary Schools

QQFren:

Hi Tane75, Wellington Primary School Open house is on this Saturday, 14 July. You may want to visit the school and have a feel on the students and Teachers. I have asked around and was told that the Principle and Vice Principle of the school are good. But again, not sure if the teachers are the same.

Dear QQFren, thanks for the info. I have went to Canberra open house last sat. Not bad. Anyway might be going down to Wellington this sat to have a look then. :snuggles:

Is Endeavour sch work getting more stressful?

Well, this question is very individual. To some it is stressful but to some it is not. We can\"t avoid stress but how can we maintain our kid interest and stamina to study is one of the key factor. Primary school is just the beginning
still got long way to go. Beside academic, we also need to develop good charactor and attitude in our kid which is the foundation.

Totally agreed. Although is good to excel in academic but character, values and integrity is what they will need to guide them to make the right decision when parents are no longer with them. It is from young we need to set the foundation. The level of stress in s :heresmyfish: chool work depends on the expectation of them. And i believe that can be managed.

Thanks qq & cool advise! Is endeavour values on students moral & integrity?

[QQFren]

Hi Snowyee, integrity is one of the values that Endeavour has highlighted. However, regardless of whether the school has called it out as a core value, I believe every school in Singapore in some way or another will want their students to grow up as a person with integrity and correct moral values.


My daughter often share with me the incidences happened during recess, in class or in school. She told me what the teachers, or principle or vice-principles had advised or taught them. I am glad and happy to know that the school is not only focusing on their academic performance but their conduct as well at all times. The school may be "young" or filled with young teachers, but they are warmth and creative in teaching. If you ask me if it is a good school, I would say yes.

Hi, qqfren, thanks for your valuable advise. I really hope my boy will successfully admit to endeavour. Looks like the competition very strong. By the way, any recommendation for after school care centre in Sembawang?

Hi Snowyee, I am not sure of the after school care in Sembawang. Perhaps other parents in this forum can advise
