He is now in Sec 4 at his Sec School so my experience may not be the most recent. <br /><br />Overall, school does have good teachers. Being a school with a Chinese heritage, ti does have a notable CL programme. <br /><br />Met several supportive and caring teachers. Some teachers are really passionate about teaching. But as I said, <b><b>only some, based on personal interactions</b></b><br /><br />To my knowledge, there is school based student care. <br /><br />XNPS does not have strong alumni association.

I told my son to ensure he buckle up his seat belt when he gets on the bus. When he came back today,  he looked really upset (he was so looking forward to the ride) and told us that the bus driver told (kind of raised his voice at him) him not to buckle and ‘swipe’ his hands off the seat belt (thats how he explain but of course I didnt know exactly what happen). He also mentioned that the driver was constantly shouting at the kids. He is now really afraid of the driver and told me that he didnt want to go to school. Can any parents who have kids taking the school bus (Bus 3 route) check with your kids to see if they have the same experience?</p>

I have parents complaining that their children are being called 'stupid' and 'hopeless', and no remedial for them.<br /><br />I heard for their recent mock prelim paper, about 40% of the pupils failed.<br /><br />Also, regarding the standard of paper, pri 4 one is much easier compared to other schs like pioneer, west grove and rulang.
