With regards to the Wed's odd timing, its really a drag for my kid till now who is in P1 this year. He hates Wednesdays most as he cannot clock in enough sleep no matter how hard we tried. He even skipped schools on some Wednesdays when he only managed to fall asleep after 12am, despite going to bed at 9pm. The pressure to fall asleep soon because 'tomorrow is morning session' is certainly pressurizing.

i have attended the orientation brief. i find the principal's tone very hostile. Is it abnormal for teachers to respond 3 days later where a young child is concerned? If it is their own child, wouldnt that add to the anxiety of parents?

To reddiechan, you are lucky to have a child who can fall asleep anytime/soon. Some active children just needs longer time to fall asleep despite having good sleep routine. By the way, children at their age needs bt 10 hours of sleep.


To idealist, you may want to know this website is also monitered by the school. They will answer your queries where necessary. Although I hate Wed timing, I didn’t ‘dare’ ask for a change because before we enrol our child, we already knew they have such a system.

Like all schools, this school also has good and mediocre staff. At least the student mix is not a bad lot.

My daughter is in P1 this year, she enjoy going to school even on Wednesday.

Under her teachers guidance, she progress well in all her subjects.
she is attending the prize giving this friday. We are glad that we choose this school for her even is a distance away. :please:

I don’t think the school will change the morning session from Wed to Fri. They are doing so because it’s a norm in Singapore that most (or all) of the schools are using Wed pm for teachers’ meeting.


My experience with the principal and v principal is that they will tell you that they want the children to be responsible for themselves. So, they got to stick to the school’s system.

I’m also surprised to read that most of you found the admin staff is good…?

The change of school shoes and socks is a nightmare. School should focus on teaching the children… rather than the appearance… ?!

Anyway, that’s my person opinion.

Thanks for your assurance on the teachers in YZ. Just hope the kids get the right teacher

Thanks. i suppose if the school could strongly improve its work/life balance for teachers, they could do better for a young child.
Well, i do think the website is also monitored by the ministry (MOE) for sentiment of parents towards day to day activities. Who knows?

Hi All,


I would like to check on the school bus transportation. What is the arrangement? Has the bus vendor contacted anyone? So far, this is the only area which is not sorted out yet.

Hi hadrian,

For the transportation, once you submit the form through school,
the bus company will contact you 1-2 week before school reopen.
Best to call them if no news. :?:
