Hello!! I'm from Seoul. I enrolled my boy,Joanthan, into this school.

This school has some \"inappropriate\" ways. :whut:
The principle now was previously from Keming Primary.

-The motto for Keming & Punggol View is THE SAME.
-Name for classes in Keming & Punggol View is THE SAME.
-Values for the school in Keming & Punggol View is THE SAME.

Although Jonathan is in this school, I don't really support this school in terms of copying Keming.
Keming started b4 Punggol View and Mr Tay(Principle of PUNGGOL VIEW)
actually didn't bother thinking of new mottos etc.

I actually wanted to share this with all of you for a long time.
But no offence to this school.

oh gosh! well hopefully he’s copying the same values and motto coz it worked.


inappropriate ways meaning?

btw do you guys have any concern over the new hours in term two? I thought 130pm is quite late coz they will have a late lunch and felt it’s not wise for children to start having late lunches at age of six all the way to p6. Even adults have earlier lunches to keep us going.

[phtthp]

1.30 pm is very late.

If child don’t have good morning breakfast, can lead to gastric pain.

[MLK]

I thought so too. But looks like most of the primary schools end their day at 1:15pm or so too. Oh well, guess we have no choice.

Hi all mummies… I am a newbie here… My ds will be enrolling for Pri 1 this year and this school is actually my 1st choice in mind. Does anyone knows how high the chance will I be able to get him in? Although MT is right beside me, but I read alot reviews about the school that they do not really pay attention to students who are average / below average, also they do not have a in-school student care. Need some advice on whether Punggol View or Punggol Green is better as these are the 2 newer schools in Punggol. Thanks alot in advance.

[Whinypooh]

Hi!


I’m also considering placing my DS in either Punggol View or Punggol Green.

Read from else where that the in-school student isn’t good.
E.g. Not qualified teachers, chaotic environment.

Any parents here can provide more info?

And are your children enjoying school so far?

[MLK]

My daughter is in Punggol View, she is happy. Other than encountering some small admin errors, I am quite happy so far. They started modular CCA this term, once a week on Thursday where their day ends at 330pm.


I am also curious about Punggol Green coz I passed it daily but yet to see and kids in uniform nearby during morning rush hour.

Think your chances of getting in any of these new schools are very high.

We applied for Mee Toh too and had to ballot for one of the 70+ places amongst 156 others, of coz we failed. But it's an interesting experience sitting through the balloting process.
