Chongfu Primary
-
Hi,
To future parents who want to consider registering their kids for Chongfu, we have this piece of experience to share.
My child is now in Pri 5 and every year, we thought the next year would be better but … sigh.
In Pri 1, we had a permanent teacher for the first half. followed by relief teacher for the second half.
In Pri 2, we had a chinese language teacher as form teacher and all other subjects taught by different teachers from other classes.
In Pri 3, we had a relief teacher for the first 3 months, followed by a permanent teacher for the next 3 months who is always on MC or urgent leave and finally another permanent teacher for the second half of the year.
Pri 4 was the best because we had a permanent teacher for the whole year for the first time.
In Pri 5, we had a trainee form teacher, trainee chinese language teacher and relief teacher for science.
Trust me that most of the horrid stories you hear about trainee and relief teachers are TOTALLY TRUE.
As for the ECAs, our only comment is that they have not changed since we parents were in primary school in the 70s.
We have decided that our second child will not be going to Chongfu but will settle for another neighbourhood school.
Just want to share this with you but ultimately the decision is still yours. -
My son’s in 3 Gracious came back today and told me that his english teacher going for operations and will be absent for a month and the maths teacher going on maternity leave.
2 relief teachers and one of the teacher always come in to tell stupid jokes and never teach any lessons. I am really worried about this trend.
Seems like my P5 daughter’s teacher also absent frequently especially this week. And she get the same jokes telling relief teacher.
Sigh… -
Hi hi.
Was browsing the forum once again and happy to be back to share. My son in 1 Res tis year and I’m also a join the Passion- Parent Support Grp.
Hope to noe more mommies here too ya! -
My son in P2 now. I agree that CFS change their teachers quite often. I wonder if that happens in other school also. Their class had changes of form teacher 4 times in a year and I think they are quite badly affected by this. Cos they cannot really learn well in the subject but spending more time getting to know the teacher’s method of teaching. Haiz…
This year, finally…things got better. He has a great form teacher and a great chinese teacher. Pray hard that it stays so… -

I have enrolled my hb and myself for the PV duty from now till next june. Quite Worried after having to see so many displease over teachers issue in the school.. Doesnt anyone make it known to the principle abt this changes tat can affect the students greatly? I remember he even told us during briefing that he hopes that any students issue shld be handled by the teachers directly instead of going up to higher authority, i hope this is not one of those cases...... :idea: -
afraid so. we have highlighted to the vice principal previously (can’t remember which year) and her reply was that singapore as a whole is short of teachers hence they had to make do with relief teachers.
hopefully your pv experience would be able to shed more light on the situation from the inside
