why are you so familiar with Bedok schools :scratchhead:

enrolling your kid in one ?

My friend just enrolled her daughter into chij (katong) primary - 65 vacancies.

She SMS me - 31 registered, now left 34 vacancies.(a lot)

Dear sleepy,
I have some friends, their kids studying in pcf - all their piggies registering this year. Some are eyeing red swastika ( bec they stay less than 1 km.) others are eyeing Yu neng, some target feng Shan, some eyeing Ngee Ann, Haig girls, Gongshang, etc. hence, they got me interested in Bedok area. Some of their kids are sc, some are pr. My pr friends sigh. They told me that the better schools are out of reach for them. Eg: like temasek, red swastika, they know they don’t stand a chance.

Dear limlim,
I am afraid i do not know much about temasek primary. I don’t have any niece nor nephew studying there.

Is your son or daughter studying in temasek primary ?
Will be great if you can share with parents here (who are keen in enrolling their kids into temasek primary) how your kids and yourself (as a parent) find the school? Are they happy studying there? Are the teachers hardworking type, or depend on which class the child is streamed into (from p4 to p6) ?

Any info shared by parents with first hand experience, is always precious.
Much appreciated, thank you.

I guess, it depends on which teacher you get..


Some are not so desirable.... but some is really good.. Last 2 years EL teacher they got wasn't good.. My kids can't really follow and the teachers doesn't really seems to care.

But this year's teachers are really good...... one of the EL teacher is really professional.. you can feel their passion and sense their commitment.. And they do try to understand each students needs, strengths, and weaknesses.. etc.. You'll feel that the kids are in good hands..

I think this is the same in any school, regardless popular schools or not

Ya, noted that too. in any case, I am not surprised. Being in the school for the last 2.5 years, I have never regretted transferring my gal especially I was given an opportunity to select from 2 other top schools in the east. The principal there is approachable and school strongly believing in helping every child where possible. I would always remember that P has emphasized that she is not keen to showcase a few top students but to bring up the overall T-score of the school. They have done that and their action show. In my opinion, this is really a school with heart. I am glad that my decision made 2.5 years ago will go a long way to ensure that my descendants are not deprive of this opportunity. :please:
