Hi all,
I am a parent with my daughter in the 2025 intake. Is there any whatsapp group for parents? Thanks!

Hi all I am new to this forum and parent with my girl in the 2025 intake. Is there a WhatsApp or telegram group for parents? Thanks!
Phase 2C results were done and dusted. After the announcement that MSHS (Primary) will go co-ed and expand the school capacity I always had that nagging curiosity; is demand within the locale of the school really rising?
so i had decided to crunch some data again. the rough and somewhat simplified assumption here is that phase 2c is a proxy of demand by proximity; with more dwellers within a locale demand for the school in phase 2c will go up
the table below shows number of applicants for phase 2c within the Bartley/Bidadari/Potong Pasir/ Hougang cluster. i chose this cluster to see the effect on demand from new HDB estates in Bidadari and Bartley
a152e95e-dd46-4910-98c8-d1a1fb46cf55-image.png
historically, PLMGS (Primary) always commanded strong demand being the only girls school and affiliation to PLMGS
St Andrew’s Junior comes in second in terms of demand as one of two boys school, i guess the higher demand is because of the affiliation from junior to secondary to jc which gives parents a peace of mind when it comes to handling their child’s progression
this is then followed by MSHS (Primary) a boys school which offers SAP and affiliation to MSHS
Cedar Primary bears the brunt of being within proximity of these schools which offers various programs and affiliation. unfortunately, while it bears the same name as Cedar Girls’ there is no affiliation between Cedar Primary and Cedar Girls’
the first batch of Bidadari BTO was launched in 2015 and completed in 2021, from the total applicants for these schools in phase 2c over the years it appears demand has indeed risen, hitting >400 applicants for the first time in the last 10 years (i don’t have data before 2015)
and it appears that this demand has not peaked as a walk around the Bartley and Bidadari estates will show that there are residential dwellings still being built
now i wonder how many more classes will be added when the school expands capacity. will we see another Nanyang Primary (390 annual intake)?

Hi Parents,
My child has just gotten a place in ACS J for 2025 and I’ve received an email from the school for my child’s student profile data. May I know what’s the exact purpose for the collection of my child’s learning behaviour? Are they going to group the children up base on their behaviour and abilities?
Secondary school tuition plays a vital role in helping students navigate the challenging academic landscape of secondary education.
As students transition from primary to secondary school, they encounter more complex subjects and a greater workload, which can sometimes be overwhelming. This is where secondary school tuition becomes essential.
Secondary school tuition provides personalized attention and tailored learning strategies to address each student’s unique needs.
Whether it’s reinforcing concepts in core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English, or providing advanced lessons for students aiming to excel, tuition helps bridge the gap between classroom teaching and individual understanding.
jackfood\" post_id=\"2135672\" time=\"1719497779\" user_id=\"146842:Perhaps u can email the owners of the ranking website(s) to ask what were the factors considered by them?
I understand that every school in Singapore is considered good. However, when it comes to ranking, many people focus on popularity and reviews, especially during the primary school registration period. As a parent, you naturally want the best for your child. I noticed that Cedar Primary, ranked in the 70s, has a 100% acceptance rate at Phase 2C. On the other hand, I'm also considering YangZheng Primary, which is ranked in the 30s.
I'm unsure what factors contribute to the rankings and why some schools are more popular than others. I'm concerned about making the right choice for my first child by selecting Cedar Primary, even though it’s close to our home in Bidadari. I worry about potentially missing out on a better school option, which will also affect the choice for my second child in the future.
Hi I’m an accomplished and dedicated tutor with over 20 years of experience in the education industry. I hold a Bachelor’s degree as well as Diploma in pre-school leadership, specialize in teaching primary level, both lower and upper. I’m known for my ability to create a positive and engaging learning environment, using a range of techniques and strategies to keep students motivated and enthusiastic. I take pride in my students’ achievements, and my unwavering commitment to their success has earned me a reputation as a reliable and effective educator. With my experience and passion for teaching, I’m an invaluable asset to any student seeking to improve their academic performance.

changni\" post_id=\"2126710\" time=\"1704841709\" user_id=\"124253:We are near Yishun as well and was considering to waitlist at the nearby schools.
I will share my experience as a mom to a Sec 1 boy this year (graduated in 2023). Still have a P4 girl and youngest in nursery 2.
If you’re looking for a holistic environment that balances grades and overall character development, Rulang is definitely my choice. The commitment from teachers my boy has had is exceptional, and given a choice to choose again, it’s Rulang for sure.
We moved to Yishun two years back and continued to travel to the school. We managed to transfer my girl to a nearby popular school in her P3 year. After a year of having two kids in two different schools, I can only say the difference is clear, from the amount of commitment from teachers, planning of holistic development programmes, discipline, character and resilience building etc. Despite the distance, we are now back to Rulang in P4 and will be looking to move back so that my youngest can also be in Rulang.
I can never be thankful enough for the positive parent-teacher collaboration through my kid’s growth over the years.
After coming across your post, I will reconsider our plan especially when my child is happy with Rulang.
Greatly appreciate your review and it comes timely for us. Thank you!

Hi Shu,
My son went to this adventure camo last year when he was in P4. He enjoyed it very much, as they did some obstacles courses and adventure games, like flying fox.... you can check out the vendor's website.
Foodwise, he said it's horrible. but then again, he is not a foodie. I think for trying out independence, just let your child attend. The kids had lots of fun, though son said some cried due to homesickness. But when he came back from camp, he was too exhausted. slept the entire day and could not go to school the next day...( was still exhausted). -

Hello any kind soul mummies can assist to help me collect PV form for my child born 2008?
I can meet up lakeside mrt during weekday (morning) or (evening) after work as need to fetch my girl from childcare -
cadencemummy, it might be better if you can go down personally to collect the form (perhaps a Saturday morning?). If I recall correctly and things has not changed, you'll need to put in you and your husband's names, IC number, tel # etc. just to pick up the form. Each form is marked with a number that correspond to the names provided.

Hi all!
I'm from the batch of 2012. I was in 6R and was taught my Mrs Chan(whom I believe is still teaching 6R this year). I just wanted to offer a younger perspective about PSLE and preparation for it.
After SA1 results are released, Mrs Chan and most other teachers, I believe, would likely have an idea of their students' academic standard.
After the holidays, the workload does increase tenfold. I admit, I often had to stay up till around 11 to finish the work given. Even the top pupil and our head prefect did. However, I believe all the teachers are forgiving. I'm sure they'll give extensions when provided with a valid reason.
I don't know about other teachers, but Mrs Chan believes that to be well-prepared, we need more than enough practice. The workload seems to be immense, but I wish to bust any myths about the teachers not going through the homework and the work being 'unnecessary'.
I'm sure the teachers put in a lot of work to plan lessons, and Mrs Chan herself stays up very late to mark our worksheets and give her own model answers. I can safely say that we aren't in much of a position to complain against the teachers, since they have to put in just as much as or even much more effort than their students.
Sometimes teachers might not go through the worksheets, but I'm sure they have valid reasons. They might have forgotten, or time simply isn't enough.
And yes, quality over quantity. The quantity of the work IS indeed accompanied by quality, IMO. The teachers wouldn't give their pupils an irrelevant worksheet or teach an irrelevant topic, would they? I don't think so, especially not RL teachers. They do put in thought before handing out a homework assignment.
Mrs Chan often told us that we need to be familiarised with all types of questions for all subjects. We don't know what questions PSLE might attack us with. Better safe than sorry, right? An increased amount of exposure decreases the chances of us being stumped by a seemingly unseen question during PSLE. The workload is justified.
And about the teaching methods, every teacher has his or her teaching style. We as students have to learn to adapt to it and change our own learning style. When teachers let us copy from the answer key, we are expected to absorb the information and ask when we have doubts. As sensible and mature 12-year-olds, we all have the ability to do so. We DO have a choice whether or not to learn. We have to take initiative, too. When we are unsure about a topic or question, it never hurts to ask the teacher. We need to understand that we oughtn't only do something when told, and that our teachers aren't scary monsters that'll eat us up.
The bottom line is--hard work will bear fruit. Instead of focusing on the teachers being cruel and unfair, we should concentrate on understanding the rationale behind their actions and act accordingly.
Mrs Chan's does have her reasons. This is shown in the fact that the entire class scored above 250 and scored A* in Mathematics last year, and around 30 students scored A* for English and Science respectively. This alone is proof that her abilities need not be doubted, and neither should any of the other teachers'.
No teacher teaching the P6 cohort is bad. All our P6 teachers have seen many batches of students come and go, and are, of course, experienced teachers. We benefit from listening to them.
Thanks for reading this entire chunk above! I wish your child the best of luck in PSLE. Only a few months left

Have a nice day!Wonder why this post came about since there were no previous posts on any particular RL teacher.
Different people have different perspectives. I guess as a parent, I would expect the teacher to mark the open-ended questions for at least school revision papers so that my child will know whether he or she is wrong instead of merely copying answers from the answer key. If the child realises that his or her mistake is wrong and the teacher explains why certain answers are wrong etc then learning takes place. I am ok if the additional papers from other schools are not marked.
Were there complaints about any RL teachers in KSP recently? Just curious.
But definitely heartening to hear words of appreciation from the younger generation.
