Chongfu Primary

Hey bluemon did you go to the PV briefing in the end? What does it talk about can you share? Mummies here, the recent change whereby priority is given to citizens do you think there’ll be a drop out of PV applictions by citizens? since now they have a higher chance? the past balloting results will not be so accurate with the change in law… your thoughts? as i’m also trying to get my child into chongfu but didn’t get selected for PV (wondering what’s their criteria?!) so hope to try luck with the change in law…might get better chances for singapore citizens… sigh!

DD says parents are to write comments in the Holistic Report (yellow form). Has anyone done that already? Comment on what? My DD's behaviour or her teacher's comments about my DD. If it is for my DD, how would I know how she behaves in class? :? :?:

How you consider stressful? There is homework everyday and they teach higher Chinese since P1.

kk mummy,


I have a couple of questions to ask and need advises. Hope all the experienced mummies can help me. TIA!

1. I heard that we need documentations to prove that we are the ex-students of CFS i.e; Report book. I tried searching high and low for it and could not locate it at the moment. Just wondering if there is any other ways of proving? I have the class photo of Pri 6, not sure if it's help.

u can go to MOE headquarter and the Customer Service there will print a document to prove u were an ex-student.

2. For being ex-students of CFS, which phase will I fall under? Is it high chance to get in?
Phase 2B. its 100% chance. but MOE going to re-structure the phases .. depending if they can do so by next year, things may be different


3. Is CFS a very academic school as like what i have heard. Are the students there very stress?
my kid's ok there. i think the teachers do put in a lot of efforts there, so no worries on that

I thought Ex CFS student is under Phase 2A2? Alumni is under 2A1?

2B is for PV and members of SHHK clan.

[icemochi]

yes 2A2. Thanks for clarifying that

is really 100% chance to get in though as I just applied and there were plenty of places left after 2A1

i have two gals in CF, one in p1 and one in p2. I would say its quite stressful by my standard cos there is considerable homework almost everyday. sometimes the homework can be quite advanced, eg. the students are asked to do worksheets on concepts that they may not have been taught yet. we gave feedback to school that perhaps to space out the homework but the teachers say some parents actually feedback that the homework is not enough... :? :frustrated:

but i like the school's emphasis on chinese in terms of the verbal articulation. they have regular 口语课 which teaches chinese poems and rhymes, and they are conducted by teachers from the clan. so the kids get a good dose of exposure into the chinese culture.

my gals' chinese has improved considerably after going to CF.
