West Spring Primary School:
In many schools the first day of school can be overwhelming and emotional. At West Spring, it was a day of joy and excitement. The pictures show the students smiling and enjoying themselves at their new school. It is a unique school with a wonderful team of warm and talented teachers and staff.Dear Potential Parents,

Hi tenko!To All Kiasu forum members,
Kiasu forum is a great tool for parents to ask questions and to communicate with one another. However, I don't think that it is good that this forum should be used to constantly criticize the school. If you feel strongly about something, I would suggest that you telephone the school directly to make an appointment to discuss the issue that you would like to raise. Let us all remember that new parents and potential parents will be reading this forum and it will hurt the school's image if there are continuous negative comments about the school.
I hope that you understand that we, Parents and The School, are trying very hard to promote West Spring Primary. The school management have done an exceptionally good job in communicating with parents. Please do allow them a chance to respond before venting out your frustration online.
I believe you don't speak for the school. However, if the school prefers to see only one sided views in this forum, please let us know. We will embargo all posts relating to this school, and this school shall not be mentioned in this forum henceforth. All future posts on this school will be embargoed, too.
This is a public forum. Kiasuparents.com do not become what we are today by presenting one-sided views only. Parents trust us to present a balanced view on issues and we will continue with this approach.
From your posts so far, one would think you are a staff of the school. :evil:
Please do not restrict any sharing by parents here. If you deemed any post offensive, please report to us. We will review and take action, if necessary. -

Thank you for your message. I would like to assure you that I am not a teacher/ staff member. I am a parent of a student at West Spring Primary. I am very proud of the school and enjoy complimenting the school on their efforts and hard work. Nobody is trying to restrict anyone from using this forum. The school were the first to start replying to members and updating information from the very beginning.
Myself and a few other parents have helped in replying to concerns/queries. We are doing this as volunteers and nobody has asked us to do it. Why are we doing it? We are doing it because we are keen on helping other parents of the school. We are proud at West Spring Primary to call ourselves a FAMILY and we are happy to help each other.
The school has encouraged parents to use MConline to engage parents more and to build a stronger partnership with the parents. Therefore they are not replying to individual questions on this forum anymore.
There have been many members of this forum asking the school questions and waiting for a response. Some are upset that there is no reply from the school. Myself and other parents are only reminding members that for any questions/ concerns that need an answer from the school should be directed to MConline.
I hope this clarifies any misunderstanding that may have occurred. -

Glad that you are pleased with the school. The school must have done something right to deserve your ardent support.
Having said that, this is public forum. Please be mindful of the way you phrase your points. You may not find anything wrong with your posts, but you cannot assume everyone thinks like you. The response you have seen so far is testament to this point.tenko:

However, if parents choose to ask questions here, they should be allowed to do so. It won't be surprising if these parents are, in fact, looking for \"unofficial\" information. These parents should know that KSP.com is not official channel to communicate with the school.
I think I have said enough regarding this issue. -

Strawberry mummy, 5 mins tea break is too short. Have you check with the service provider? Any more feedback from mummies whose child in pro teach?Hi,
Any parents here have their child enrolled with Pro-Teach? Can share your experience with pro-teach, their services etc?
Apparently my girl (P1 2015) told me that she was only given 5 mins for tea-break and thus could not finish her food in time. Also, based on what my girl told me, she said that the lunch provided is not enough. For the past few days, when i picked her up at 5pm, the first thing she said is that she is hungry and very tired. I am worried that pro-teach is not doing their best to take care of these children. It seems like my girl is feeling more tired as compared to when she was in full day childcare. I tried to ask her to take a short nap by resting her head on the tables but she seems quite afraid, saying that nobody does that and she is worried of being reprimanded by the pro-teach staffs.
Any feedback from parents will be greatly appreciated. TIA -

the tea break is normally longer than 5 minutes. They have a 30 minutes lunch break when they arrive at the centre. A little later in the afternoon the children have a 15 minute tea break. It is possible that the first week of school the programme may have been a little different as it was a busy time for all. From what I have heard, the students and Pro teach staff have settled into their routine again.
The environment and the teachers are very friendly and I am sure your child is in good hands. You may wish to contact Pro Teach at West Spring and ask them to email you a copy of the student care programme including the timings.
I hope this information helps. You can also PM me anytime if you have any further questions. -
qms:
I know tenko is a parent, not a staff although I think it's a good thing to see negative comments here. His effort here to help other parents should be appreciated and sometimes he is just being too nice. And my guess is that as a lot people especially WSP know who he is, he can't comment as an anonymous anymore :wrongmove:tenko:
