Punggol View Primary

[Zavier Mummy]

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.

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?

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.

Thank you so much for the info. Kinda worried that we will not get a chance as we are staying far away from Punggol View Pri. Punggol Green is another option but in terms of convenience, would still prefer Punggol View.

Hi mummies and daddies out there, does anyone use the after school care at punggol view primary? I intend to enrol my DS into this sch. Also whats the chances of getting into the school? We are staying quite far from the sch (exactly beside Mee Toh) but too bad they do not have after-school care. Saw from their website, total vacanies is only 210 which is the least out of all primary schools in Punggol.

Mee Toh is going to have a student care centre come 2014. Their mega campus just added the indoor sports hall block which houses provisions for this centre to be opened within the school premises. You can see the rooms on Level 3 from outside the school. It's located right below the entrance to the sports hall, which is located on Level 4.


Refer to the survey they have on the school website http://www.meetoh.moe.edu.sg/or the actual survey form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1CqnYXeBQ8-8QEkh1r9weak_4g8YNdaZMfkUT17JNYEM/viewform?pli=1

Just thought that this would be useful for you to make an informed decision. This would probably entrench the school deeper as the most sought after school in Punggol and since you live right next to it, why seek a further school?
