      I don’t think the Maths standard is too bad at all. On the contrary they have tests practically every week no chance to slack at all!

        Thanks hoylj and michyms.

        How is the school hw? Maybe towards to the tutor, my girl is an average girl so she think neighnourhood school is good enough for her.
        But I thought convent school is better for girl in the value.

          In the beginning there seemed to be quite a lot of homework, but now my dd has gotten used to it plus gotten used to tackling on her own… So it’s been pretty good. English standards are quite high… Chinese could be better but I am happy with it all.

            Hi, for my dd it has been alright for P1. She breezed through. P2 was quite something when she started in 2H. She has 2x more homework than her peers. Now she’s P3 and been on the same homework rate but more subjects such as science. She enjoys school and adores her Maths teacher. So I guess it’s quite ok for now.

                Hi, the school principal did address this last year. No impact to school. Only the convent next to the school and its nursing care will be impacted.

                Best if you call the school if you are bothered by this.

                  just received the letter of the school will have to move to First Toa Payoh Primary School from Jan 2015 to Dec 2016 due to upgrading. This comes as a shock as the principle has always reassured us that the school will stay even there is upgrading within the premises.


                  If you are staying up further North like Yishun, you may want to reconsider as it will take more transportation time, however, ur kids will get to benefit the new facilities/upgrading.

                    yes. i just read the letter and is totally new info on the time frame as well as the shift. personally, i don't tend to see this as positive news until there are more details e.g. whether single session or not in 2015-16.

                      It is negative news to me. My current p2 gal will be p5 and p6 in those 2 years away, she is quite disappointed about the temporary holding place and the transport logistics will have to be replanned.


                      Hopefully the school can explain why the changes in plan and their new plan.
