Peiying Primary

[FairyPenguin]

Hi Mitr, Navel Base was never in my selection list cos' I felt that Peiying is a better school if I decide not to let my girl go Northland. It's just a matter of personal preference


Hi Felicia, glad to hear that my girl will be school mates with your gal. I'm not staying in the 80+ series but 798 (the block with police post below)...so very near to Peiying

oic. I know where is it coz my girls are attending MFS nearby.

Hi all, any good tuition/enrichment centres nearby to recommend. Heard that P1 has to do 'show & tell' for English & the maths questions are also quite tricky. Currently, my girl attending CMA at Chong Pang.


Tough on young children these days

Felicia09, thank you for the message. Yeah, I am aware that I need to be mindful to decided if I can put a bet on northland. Frankly speaking, I do hear mix comments regarding northland.


I have managed to talk to someone know pei ying. I am a bit concerned with two things:

1) Acadamic: especially on the Chinese as they do not provide higher level Chinese.

2) Environment: I have been to the school myself. The environment is not really that great. But I am not sure how it will turn out after its upgrading work, starting in 2014, right?

there is a KUMON just oppsite Khatib MRT. You can give it a try. It is not bad, but got home work everyday.

Hi Mitr, I heard that Kumon basically hands out worksheets to their students to do during the class. Unsure if the teachers do any real teaching. Can share experience?

Hi, my gal not successfully being selected in Jiemin, so i ve chose Peiying. Is a 2bus stop away fm my hse. No choice… I have appeal to Jiemin,but chances is v v slim. Very upset for it. In future I need to cater a sch bus for my gal. So is Peiying good ? I went to the school also,is not as big as what i think. academic likewise I really dun noe. I am staying at Blk 726, have chosen a student care under Aceachiever near my hse. May I know if the PCF student care near Peiying good?

[FairyPenguin]

Hi qq_guy, can empathise with your disappointment over Jiemin as your block is just a stone's throw away from the school. But since now our girls are in Peiying, let's be positive & give the school a chance...who knows, it may surprise us! Further, come orientation on 16 Nov, we can get to know more about the school


For student care, I chose PCF as it's near to Khatib MRT Stn & my block. For me, so long as the centre provides a safe & peaceful environment (for napping & doing homework) for my girl, it'll be ok. Besides, I heard that the auntie who prepares food for the children cooks fairly well.

Oh yes, the PCF allows children to join them earlier say in Dec. In this way, the child can get used to the environment & won't have to face too much adjustment when school starts. I intend to do so as my girl can begin to make friends with the other children who are likely students of Peiying. This is killing 2 birds with 1 stone

Hi FairyPenguin


Just a little feedback on student care. My son is in P2 at PeiYing (PY) this year and he is attending ProTeach student care.

I did a site visit to the PCF (near Khatib), MFS (Blk 796) and ProTeach before I enrolled him at the latter. I would rank MFS above PCF. The PCF student care didn’t impress me at all even though it was just a stone throw away from PY.

I find MFS has a better environment if you just want your kid to nap and do homework. It is on the 2nd floor with an inside staircase going down to childcare on the ground floor.

Well, as to why I didn’t enrol him at MFS (even though he was a MFS graduate) because I wanted him to attend in-house tuition classes offered by ProTeach.

Hope this helps.

Hi Queen or Maid (*cute name :p),


Thanks much for sharing with me. The info is very useful I didn't know there were so many student care centres in the vicinity! Only noticed PCF as it's the most visible & so near to PY.

I tried to google MFS but can't find anything on the centre.

As for Pro-Teach (Blk 846), I browsed their website. Seems quite good as the centre will guide the child to do his/her schoolwork. I'll call the centre on their fees & visit them this Sat to reccee the place

Based on your experience so far, is Pro-Teach good in terms of the environment, quality of the teachers, food etc.
