Always got contacted by teachers…Maybe your friends’ kids are doing well in school. And it’s true that if you want to contact the teachers, the only way is to call up general office, and calling back may not be as fast as expected.

Whatsapp contact depends on teacher, some have some dont have.
P6 students auto stress liao…teachers wont add on more stress and let kids burntout.

No class dojo no WhatsApp contact from teachers. You dunno what’s happening in school except during PTM. So I just wanted a second opinion.

P6 no stress? Wow they must be very prepared consistently then.
Thanks again!

[quote=Triciatass post_id=2033699 time=1628485228 user_id=194142]Hi,
would like to know homework load for Canberra Primary. Assessment of teachers too.
Is hw given in tab/ iPad only?
In Chinese do they learn Di Zi Gui？
Stream at P5 only?
Thanks.

1. hw given both hardcopy and ipad
2. no Di Zi Gui for my DD(P4) and DS(P6) batch
3. P4 got Shen Guang (深广班) for MT, P5 then reshuffle based on P4 results

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
May I know what is the homework load like ? Do they start to have more hw only in p5?
How are the teachers? Do they tell you if your child is misbehaving in school or lagging in the school work? Or must wait till PTM only?

Thanks![/quote]Maybe I'm the tiger mother type. Homework very light weight. Even in P6 teachers wont put more stress on kids.
Teachers will contact you directly or even request to meet you in school if your child have issues in school.

Can i check if everyone can be a Parent Volunteer in Canberra Primary? Will there be a quota for parent volunteer as I heard that some school might need to go through parent interview but yet still not able to be Parent Volunteer? My daughter is born in Year 2017 and will be registering in Year 2023 (For 2024 intake). Any parent who is on the same page as me?

So which one is the better choice?

Hi! I hope its not too late, but someone related to me went to Chongfu and I went to Canberra! When comparing both our experiences, Chongfu teachers were abit
irresponsible (etc. giving too much homework, not teaching and only handing out worksheets) while my teachers were more understanding, making Canberra a less stressful environment to be in. However, it may differ as different teachers come and go, and I'm just judging from what I heard..
My experience in Canberra was amazing, and I learnt many things and got to experience so much more than other students in other schools! We got to interact with overseas students and even got to perform or watch our very own school musicals! I made several good friends there! Therefore, I think CPS is a very good school:) But you should hear how Chongfu is like first:)

Nope. I'm deciding between Chongfu or Canberra
Canberra is in Sembawang.
Chongfu is in Yishun.

Unless either parent is Chongfu alumni? 😓

[quote=\"Celinejaw\"]Nope. I'm deciding between Chongfu or Canberra


How is it possible to be deciding between Chongfu or Canberra? :?
Both schools will ballot within 1km in Phase 2C. If you are within 1km of Chongfu, you cannot be within 1km of Canberra (and vice versa).

Probably own house in Sembawang/Yishun, and parents house vice versa, so can still ballot based on care giver house distance to the school.[/quote]Even if your parents / caregiver house lives next door to the school, MOE rules you will be placed together with the 1 to 2km group. Hence, it's not possible to be in both 1km group (unless you own 2 houses within 1km and deciding which house to use - in which case, I will say consider other school).
