Nan Chiau Primary

[mummy so kiasu]

How do you find the standard of P6 Prelim papers? Are they easy or tough papers?

Hi, my hubby and I are keen to enrol our girl in Nan Chiau. But recently, heard from a friend that her child whom studies in the school feels stressed by the teachers and is unhappy. Sometimes, he even refuses to attend school. My friend told me she feels the teachers only emphasise on academic results and not the character development of the children.


I would like to hear more feedback from parents with kids studying in the school? Do your kids have difficulties coping with the schoolwork? Is tuition necessary? Do they enjoy going to school and find learning enjoyable rather than stressing?

Is your friend's kid in the top class of upper primary? The education system has been changed & you have to be prepared to be involved in your kid's education when she goes to Pri 1. I would say this school standard is rather high compare to most of the Sengkang pri schools. To me, Singapore education itself is already stressful. If you are looking at a less stressful environment, try North Vista Pri School.

Whether tuition is necessary is very subjective. It is all depend on your kid's performance & the parents' expectation from the kid. I did not send my P1 girl to tuition & most probably do so when she goes to P3. My P6 boy is taking PSLE this year & he is in the top class. School has higher expectation from top classes , they are given more challenging worksheets & workbooks.

Hi, thks for sharing!

Hi miffy-ang, you’re welcome. Overall, NCPS is a good school with good programmes. It is a SHHK’s school & it’s P6 students sit for the same Prelim papers as Tao Nan & Ai Tong. It is the most popular school in Sengkang. You need to stay within 1 km to be qualified for the phase 2C balloting or to become a PV. Your friend has to be more involved in her kid’s education. She needs to communicate with her child & be aware of her kid’s progress in school. Maybe her kid’s need her attention & she needs to find time to coach her kid. Parent and teacher communication is also very important.

yes. I heard that some students compulsory, must see specific teacher.
others must book via parents portal from 03.09.12 onwards.

Regarding the upcoming meeting teacher session, will the school or teacher identify which of those parents hv their chance during the last meeting teacher session. Reason of asking cos this time round still the same as previously that only 10 parents will allow to meet the specific teacher. My girl's MTL teacher is the form teacher of one of the P2 class and hence might be unable to meet her as she will be fully booked by her class students. As for my girl's Eng and Math subject are taught by her form teacher. Believe most parents of my girl's class will start to book the time slot when it approaches midnight and by then all time slots will be taken out in the early morning next day. So I think I will juz do the same to send email to her form teacher if I'm still unable to book a time slot to meet her. :sad:

if your kids are ok, then not compulsory.
teachers see those that don't behave and/or results not good
