Hi Tjm and Champion,

Thks for your feedback about the Coporation Pri Sch.I have a son who is P1 in Coporation this year.He is a hearing impaired child wearing hearing aids.
I found that there were always fighter jet flying in the sky with loud noises.I just wonder would it affect much for the children in the class rm when having lessons?And how is the teacher's patient in school?Thks.

Hello Jackan n!
:welcome: to KSP Forum and also to CPS! :grphug: Am glad to see a few parents here with kids in Respect class this year! :rahrah: :rahrah:

No worries with the fighter jet flying - my family has already immune to it!
As I am staying at the high floor, I can literally see it flying towards my flat from my living hall! :scared: As for the school itself, my P4 DD1 told me that the students are also used to the noise but teacher will stop and pause when the fighter jets flew past.

The handbook was in stock yesterday. There were these 2 Malay daddies who are very helpful. They asked the bookshop lady to hand them the handbooks and they help to sell. So those who need to buy handbook only need not join the long Queue! :hi5:

Yeah, this school bus company really did a bad job yesterday. I do hope that today it will be better.

wow! kudos to these parents! good to know about these nice parents... thanks for sharing, champs.

i will ask ds1 to buy tmr if he can. cos i can't make it (to go to the school on his behalf to buy). hope the queue won't be too bad during his recess time?

LKVM:

I also still dont have all the books and after looking at the queue yesterday DH came back empty handed.... he will be going there tml again to see if the stock is there.. looks like few of the books for P2 are also out of stock... Yes handbook also not there yet..

:hugs: LKVM

me too, i still have a few books outstanding too. sigh. have not been able to get to the school cos of the younger 2 kids and then checked popular at JP and they don't have it too.

hope ds1 can somehow find the time to buy it himself.

how many kids are with CPS and what are their levels? I shall update the first page and add you in!

i have not asked ds1 about the jets and the noise. I do hear them from my own house though. like Champs, i am mostly immune to it already. but they could be noisy sometimes. i guess all the schools in JW area face this same problem?

maybe have to be in air conditioned classrooms to solve the problem? :siam:

I'm surprise to hear from my DD as she ask me to give her money as the form teacher brought the handbook for her. What a nice teacher he is. Heard he is fierce which I'm happy to hear that as she need someone like that for her mischievous. I do tell her if she behave the teacher will be nice to you too. Who want to punish a good student, right.

skyozone,

nice teacher indeed! your dd is in good hands! (can PM me who her form teacher is?)

i like strict teachers too. they maintain discipline and it is easier to teach and learn (on students’ part). and the students all seem to respect the tr. (ie the strictness doesnt mean they fear the teacher till they don’t like him right?)

morning mummies and daddies, long time didn't log in to this forum.


Finally back to work after two days in CPS. My DD is at P1 this year! The first two days so far so good for us as DD looks happy with her new teacher and friends. The teacher looks not fierce which is good for my girl, but not sure the she can control the lesson as the boys are quite talkative.

The worst things in the first two days were the school bus and bookshop.

Lucky we didn't need to take school bus as morning we send her there and she will be with the new student care till we fetch her. When we were in the hall waiting for the student care teachers to pick up the kids, all the kids need to take school bus were sitting in the front of the hall while a lady using mic to announce the kids names with school bus number! What a terrible mess there, wondering why they can't prepare early and let the parents/teachers know in advance so everyone is prepared. We left the hall at 2 plus and the confused parents/kids were still there. On the 2nd day, class teacher briefed the kid who need to take school bus according to the school. But when we were at the hall at about 145pm, still there is a lady announcing names and bus numbers.

About the book store, we gave up as the Q was always there like never move. At about 3pm, i started to Q, and one teacher told me to write down the kid's name and teacher will give her the book then we make payment. So many parents Queued for hours just for one handbook (portfolio is oos on the first day!), why can't school make proper arrangement earlier (the handbook is from school not those publisher, and they should know exactly how many they need), and why cant the book store set up one stand for the handbook only? All of them should send to the course on productivity and efficiency!!! :stompfeet:

Now i still not yet got the music book as currently is oos, can find it in popular?

well, enough complains..hehe...the Principal is nice and approachable. I spoke to her about the jet noise (it's really super duper loud and these two days like fly so often!), i suggested having full air-con classrooms to reduce the noise, she told me funding is a big issue, MOE wont give budget for this. Shall all the parents do something to feedback to MOE? it's really disturbing, my girl told me she and her friends need to cover ears as really very loud but her teacher didn't. :yikes: It should consider as workplace hazard, MOM should do something like noise monitoring to check whether this is harmful to the young kids!

:rant: :rant: The school bus is a big issue and problem! I do hope that things can be thrashed out soon! My 2 DDs reached home at 2.20pm yesterday when school ended at 1.30pm! My place is about 3 minutes drive from school!

The Book shop was not prepared at all! Look inside the store and you can see that books are not arranged and stacked properly. I even witnessed one parent demanded the shop lady to search again for a book and she finally found it inside a red plastic bag un-open yet! :faint:

Now i still not yet got the music book as currently is oos, can find it in popular?

Do call up Popular branch to check 1st especially Jurong Point branch - they do too have quite a number of textbooks for every level out of stock.

The thing about the jet noise is \"beyond control\"! :sad: We have spoken with our MP and he said that due to there is an Airbase was not far from our neighbourhood so advised us to bear with it! :skeptical: Well, we have been staying in the area for 12 years so all my 3 kids are \"trained\" and immune to the loud noise since birth
