River Valley Primary

[Zioner]

Did anyone attend the PTM on 19 Feb? Now we know why the Pri 1 classes are given names other than ABC etc. The school principal has reasonably good vision and aims, however the HODs seem to be constantly reminding parents that the subject workload will not be stressful and the children will not be stressed in school… I felt very stressed listening to their lecture. Pri 1 Graciousness chinese teacher seems to be very enthusiastic, think its good for our kids… hope she can sustain the energy levels.

Hi..I am new to this thread..but my dd 2 is from River Valley.Ms Ow Young was also her teacher.Yeah..she's fierce..and strict..my dd2 tells me that she always spends some time reprimanding the boys - she very strict about homework and that must be completed properly. But she is a very responsible teacher..you will be rest assured the assignments will be marked and everything that is to be done followed up..need such a teacher to cultivate good habits ..for the work that is to come.

If this helps, the rvps teachers keep in touch with parents..if anything, all these years, I have never had a single email from any form teacher that has not been promptly replied to and followed up on..

Agree that the teacher sounds fierce but I have to say she is very energetic, hope she can capture the attention of her students… my dd say she quite enjoy the class, and she has not been scolded by teacher yet. Well, if you had walk over to the next class which also had a chinese class on, you will be glad that teachers like Ms Ow Yong exist.


Anyway, hope all the children are coping well with the work load so far, which I felt was not too bad. The assignments are manageable and my dd is happy with the environment, teachers and classmates, thats all we hope for in a school anyway. Happy schooling…

yes. sometimes, it’s good to have fierce teachers. they will be able to control the naughty kids better.


my son was punished before for talking during her lesson. served him right!

yah. son’s form teachers have been good so far…especially this year’s form teacher. he responded to my questions very promptly. i dropped him an email last night to ask how to solve one maths question. he responded immediately!

Yeah..we parents need this sort of support from the schools..it can only benefit the child..

I sense the school's foci have changed since the new Principal took over..the expectation for learning and therefore teaching is higher..
I am glad for I think no student in the school should be compromised on academic progress or excellence..already most of the staff are approachable and friendly.. it's a 'kind' culture..
