Jiemin is still offering Partial Single Sessions currently. With MOE's vision of turning all Primary Schools into single session schools by 2015, has Jiemin's leadership made any indication of PRIME* planned for this school, in the near future?


PRIME*: Programme for Rebuilding and IMproving Existing Schools (PRIME)

Hi! pinkixora here reporting....a very quiet thread though.

Just found my way here by \"accident\" since i have a little more time now...

An intro of myself - i am a mummy of 3 kids all from Jiemin.

Hope to be able to chat & exchange ideas with various mummies too!
Cheers!

Hi, All


I am also new here. My daughter is due for P1 registration in 2013. I am looking around for school in Yishun area for her. It looks northland is very competitive. I am staying with 1km, but still need to go for balloting. How is Jieming primary school? In terms of facilities, environment, teacher’s attitude etc…?

My aim is not to put my daughter in a top school, but an environment that can give her confidence and comfort to grow. I will supplement her growth with some enrichment programs.

Looking forward to the advise from you all soon.

Hi mitr_sg!
If you are staying in Yishun, I am sure you will know that Northland & Chong Fu are difficult to get in. Unless you are staying near the schools or join in as parent volunteer to enhance your chance.

Jiemin Pri is just another neighbourhood school. If you are expecting high standard of academic achievements & rich areas of enrichment...(like brand name schools)..that will be difficult.

But the school does have their own areas of niche eg. angklung, dance, pretty good in Science, they have strict discipline, and the best thing I like is that they treat all students equal - in terms of supplementary or enrichment classes, materials, accessibility to resources. I have heard of complaints from friends whose kids are in good school (but not in top 2 classes) are not provided supplementary or enrichment classes...
Teachers in Jiemin, there are good & passionate ones but also some who are more lax (isn't most schools the same?)

Another area to consider is the ability of the child (and probably yourself) to cope if enroll into a \"better\" school. Competition will be tougher & it depends on the character of the child if he/she can take it as well, otherwise, it can be quite demoralizing.

My first two kids have graduated from Jiemin. One is now in CHIJ St Nicholas & the other was in Anderson Sec & now in VJC. Though they are not in top school like RI, RGS or HCI, but graduating from Jiemin also enable them to do reasonably well subsequently.

Primary school is only the beginning...ultimately it depends on the child & the support parents give as well and it is still a long way to go.....

Cheers!

Hi, pinkixora


Thanks for the information and reply.

Yes, I share the same thoughts with you. By checking with many schools and parents, almost all of them told me the same thing. Parent support is the key factor that decides the kids performance. I have heard kids in ACS score PSLE 230, whereas kids in Jiemin, northview, and navel base score PSLE 260. Hence, I have highlighted that I will support my kids with good enrichment program if I feel those from School is not enough or not the type that my kids like.

Of course, it is really because of parents, who want more assurance in kids development as good school tends to have a good system to achieve that. It is also a face issue for parents as well.

For Jiemin, I have seen the school. May I know more about its strength, such as CCA etc… Northland is strong in chess. What’s the key strength for Jiemin?

Thanks.
