When there is a change, there is bound to be comparisons. To be fair to her, I must say the previous principal set a really high benchmark. She was very popular with the parents and kids. When the new principal came, as difficult as it already is to have to prove herself, she made redesigned the school’s logo and values which is a big no-no. Definitely started with the wrong foot. But we’ll have to wait and see how the school progresses under her leadership.

There were some good changes too such as memo are released before term break instead of after new term started 😝 And I like how Thu is a shorter school day so that they can end CCA 30min earlier than before. Small changes that I have to give her credit for.

Hope your child blossom and grow well in whichever primary school he ends up in. 😊

Anyone can advise about the school, current teachers and principal? Planning for school choices for my boy who’ll be joining the 2024 registration. Thanks in advance!

Hoping to also hear whether the student care has staffs to monitor homework doing. I heard my friend at Redhill that his son often comes home with undone homework. There is no one really pushing kids to do the homework. thanks thanks and happy Chinese New Year!
Yes they do monitor.

@mini-Bug,
thanks so much for your quick and insightful answer!

May I know for younger kids (P1-P3), how long is scheduled to be the napping time? I checked the schedule of a private student care near the school and the entire napping time is only 0.5h. To my boy, that would be too little as it takes him some time to calm down before falling asleep.
Nap time would be an hour. It might not be sufficient but they will still need to do homework so can't nap for long.

I have checked other student cares before, few years ago, some don't even have naps. A centre-in-charge confidently told me with friends around, the kids wouldn't want to sleep at all!

Hi,
Could anyone kindly share the criteria of registering the school-based student care in Yumin? There is no information about it at all on its official website.

Some parents said a few years ago that the student care was inflexible and would allow pick-up at a certain time every hour strictly. Is it still the same rule now?

Also any general feedback on the student care is highly appreciated! Thanks!
Hi, if demand is higher than supply, the principal decides. Priority given to siblings already with the centre, those without other caregiver and both parents are working. Generally, those who need it most are more likely to get it lah.

There are still set timings for pick ups but you can communicate with the centre to make special arrangement at other timings. It is just a bit more troublesome since the centre is very much inside the school and a teacher will bring your very young kid out. When they are bigger, they can walk out themselves.

Now with covid, they don't get to sleep on the floor in sleeping bag. They lay their heads on the tables. Younger kids get to nap longer. Older kids have very limited to no time for napping. Change of fresh clothes, no shower even pre-covid.

I’m giving her $3 as a start but from the past 3 days, seems that $2 is more than enough as she seems to only spend about (max) $1.50 per day.

Hi parents,


Does any1 of you register Yumin's student care (big heart) for 2019 P1?
How was Big Heart student care?
Their pick up time is only applicable hourly, which is very inconvenient for parent want to pick up anytime. Anyway can make them re-consider this practice? this is turn me down to put my gal in their student care! :S

My P2 girl will be new to the student care next year. During briefing, the in-charge explained that the hourly pickup is actually an improvement from previously when the kids were only send out last couple of hours.

For security reason, they can't keep allowing parents to go in to pickup. It will be disrupting to send the kids out more frequently.

I think every half hourly is good enough even if it's not the most convenient. But if you're going to always pick up at a fixed time that is not the designated pickup timing, I'm sure it can be arranged. You can speak to the in-charge 🙂

For me, having a huge compound to move around and carry out activities far outweighs the inconvenience of hourly pickup. Can't have it all.

Ya, thanks for your response in this.
Now they improve after many parent complaint. add another 5.30pm pickup time.
But there is another concern rise out during briefing.
They will not supervisors the school home work, anything student unsure and raise up for help, they will just noted down com-book, and school teacher will be the one need to take note and guide them again, or else parent need to take noted and teach by them-self.
To me, I felt they might just serve like nanny, and might worst than nanny 😓
Anyway, just try for 2mths, will see how.
The only adv is in school, for child safety, no choice to choose them, otherwise, will definitely out from my choice!

P/S: due to some timing briefing arrange unmatch my schedule and their lousy service, I wrote an email to school for complaint!
I hope school would change to other student care like Pro-teach, or any other student care center.
But anyway only 1 alone it won't work..... i know 😂 😂
