Hi 👋 Gentleman/or parents,


No intention of sending any negativity of CHS but did anyone experience some teachers in school that are educator, can talk but cannot teach or can teach but cannot deliver. 😆 just want to prepare myself mentally as a parent.

Perfect! :thankyou:

Hi,


My son is new to CH. I have a uniform question to ask the gentleman or their parents here. Does the school require the student to wear the House T-shirt? I appreciate if someone can reply. Thanks.

Hi G-clef,


Thanks for your input. It could be the ability and efficiency of each class teachers varies. Some are more capable and passionate, some are not. This is not the first year Chongfu welcoming their first batch of primary one. In my opinion, there is no excuse the Class communication is not effectively communicated.

My disappointment is when I compare my child with my two neighbor children which is in diffent classes in Canberra. I am very impress with how organize Canberra is to welcome their P1 children. Timetable is issued on first day of school. Form Teachers and subject teacher contact list is given to parent to contact if any issue arise. Parent is encouraged to go to the school bookstore to purchase book for their children and discourage during weekday. Spelling list for Term 1 for both English and MT are issued on the second days with all dates indicated. This is what I expected from Chongfu and I did not asked for more. On the other hand, Chongfu is not organize, timetable is not ready till my husband has to speak to the form teacher, her answer was they are still organizing the timetable?! Spelling list - MT is fine with all dates indicated for term one but not the English. Sent an email to subject teacher to clarify some homework matter but hear no reply. in addition, a horrid incident happened to my child with the school bus, did not received an apology from the school bus operator, reported to the Principal. Did not hear back from her promptly. Her VP called to close the case after the 5th day of the incident.

Well, I guess is not the fault with Chongfu but was my fault to choose Chongfu.

ImMeeMee,


The school give exclusive rights to one sole school bus operator. All parent is at their mercy. I disagree that the school bus operator will not provide bus service for pupils that has school activity. That will means the pupil will have to withdraw the activity if no one at home can pick the child up from school. I strongly encourage you to speak to the school.

After a week (my son is in P1) I feel disappoint with the school administration, communication. Maybe I have high expectation!

ImMeeMee,


Is a standard practise that the school bus providers islandwide charge a full month fee for June and Dec school holiday. The rational is, the school bus providers will not lost their income during the school holiday. I heard some providers do not charged June and Dec school holidays but they charge a higher fee during the 10 months school terms.

If one do not compare, one will not able to tell whether the school or the principal run its school efficiently.


I believe all PrincipALS have their principLES in how the school should be run. After all they are measure by their performance that will motivate their pay check. They can’t afford to risk their rice bowl by producing bad result.

I am not going to assume the PSLE will be "difficult" in the future. Difficult or easy exam questions are very subjective. I support the school to nurture an holistic approach to learning and not to stress out my kid in sitting a so call "unique" or difficult examination and "kill" his brain cells at a very young age. I will rather him to achieve well in his university and attain good social skills. School in Singapore should focus more on play to learn than on academic drills. I still don’t get the point of the need to send our kids to school yet they need to attend Tuition! In my opinion, if my kid need to attend Tuition, the school teachers are not doing their job and they will need to answer to Tax Payer like me.

Hi,


My son will start his P1 in 2014. I went to the Uniform shop at SSC wanting to purchase his uniform. I was asked what colour is his P.E T-shirt. Does anyone know what colour to refer to? His first week name tag has a Green Colour Dot on it hence not certain whether the colour to purchase is Green? I appreciate your advice. Thanks.
