Hi all,


I am new to Kiasuparents.com and also very new to what to look out for when enrolling our kids in primary school. I would like to check with existing parents of kids in poi Ching, much talk has been on about it having very high level of Chinese, how about the standard for other subjects?

Also, how is the school environment and the teachers like?

Any advice or sharing will be helpful- thanks!

If things remain the same as 2 years ago...
I remembered Yun Yu only started in Term 2. Term 1 was on Higher Chinese Book 1A, Han Yu Pin Yin.

Chinese, very difficult. Other subjects, not so difficult and lesser homework. There are caring and committed teachers, and also teachers who do just the bare minimum.

I realized PCS has no CA1 for P1-P3? unlike other schools, they have CA1 before the march holidays.

Dear Mummies,


Pls advise if Poi Ching consider a good school with caring teachers & is it a academic driven school?

I think it's new format. The school used to just test on yun yu word recognition. hanyu pinyin assessment is based probably on recognition of phonics, intonations, yun mu, sheng mu etc.

Most schools dont have CA1 thse days. They have Holistic Assessments, like smaller assessments but testing different components. Call them bite-sized.
