Hi


Parents with kids in Anchor Green can provide some feedback on the school? Thinking of enrolling my gal there for P1 next yr.

Thanks.

Hi, my girl will be in primary 1 next year. I have the same problem in looking for a suitable after school care. I have been to see the after school care service within the school & at blk 306C. I don’t like both.


Nascan looks very gloomy. Their daily activities are homework & assessment then learn chinese & english spelling until 545pm. They sit in their individual seat like the usual class arrangement. But good thing is it’s very convenient as it is located within the school. Further the facilities & schedule are not so good. They leave it to the kids if the want to bath & nap. The bathroom are at the far corner.

As for blk 306C, the place looks untidy & cramp. 20 students in a small room. 4 child sharing a table which is good as they get to chat once in a while if they are bored with the homework. They nap, do homework & assessment then learn Chinese & English spelling within the room & until 545pm. After which they can come out to the common area (which is a small area) to play or watch tv.
Facilities are within the premises which is quite convenient. They also have a more systematic schedule such as bath & nap then do homework & assessment.

Above is just my personnel view, you may wish to go take a look.

Hence, if you happen to finds a nice place , please let me know. I am also urgently looking for one.

Its one of my consideration if I really couldn't find one suitable one. Maybe open a home based acs?

Hi all,


My DS will be in Anchor Green next year. I have been to the open house in July and was quite impressed with it. I hope to hear some feedbacks from parents whose child is studying in this school. Thanks!

My son is in P1 this yr in AGPS, so far he’s performing well under his teachers guidance.

The principal & VPs are very friendly too.

Fyi, this sch has a no homework policy for wkend, so that kids can enjoy bonding time with family & hv more time to learn their spellings.
So unless the kids can’t finish their work in sch, else no homework on Fri.

Hi eileen1102,
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, from what I see during the open house, I can tell that the Principal is really nice. Hopefully she will be staying with the school for another few years..as I heard that there might be a change of principal every 5/6 years.

As for the no homework policy for wkend, does it applies to all levels? Or it's only for lower primary? Btw, do they have CCA for P1/P2 students?

I don't think the principal will be changed so soon, if I'm not wrong, she requested to stay on for a few more yrs (according to my gf's info whom work in a sch & has these info).

I'm not too sure if the no homework on wkend policy applies to all levels or just for lower primary.

As for CCA is only for P3 & above.

FYI, 1st 3 days for P1 is very enjoyable for the kids coz its a \"3 day camp\" scheme, parents are also able to join in their kids on certain programs on these 3 days.
