It is not just academic result that would reflect how well the school. YTSS was not my child or our list of school four years back. But after hearing from some other parents about the school’s strict discipline and academic results, it was first how the students conducted themselves when we first visited their open house. I also took time to observe how the students behave outside the school at near by blocks which saw that they were all well groomed on physical appearance, no funny fashions or bad behaviours. From that it also reflect on the schools and teachers how well they conducted and that students took pride wearing their uniform. It was only after my child joined the school that the school has strict guidelines on grooming that they took seriously and a regular routine to check on students as well as to keep their discipline checked. I understand that the teachers, school manager and discipline master would patrol blocks near school or shopping malls to look our for students who misbehave, I saw this that it is beyond their set duties to perform such task that they too took pride on ensuring that the school uphold to the standards they values. It is natural to transform a disciplined learning environment into a conducive one for students and staffs. I would say a big well done and thank you for all the people there on behalf of my child who is graduating soon.

My child in YTSS sec 4 this year, according to her, it is not true that the school is trigger happy to ask students to drop subjects or drop to combine sciences instead of pure sciences. In fact the opposite happened, the teachers took extra efforts on coaching the weaker students, only when all efforts done and student proved that it was better for them and for their own good to take up combined sciences that the school will meet their parents to discuss their situation.


The school holds high standard both academically as well as grooming the students in discipline. Students who constantly get into disciplinary may be advised to change to another school that the environment may be more suitable. It is understandable that because the high standard of the school, DSA students who are weaker academically may find it especially difficult to be on par with their peers. I am not sure if Zhu kenobi’s child enrolled via DSA, else she should not have issue coping with the school’s pace. Anyway it would be good for her if both she and her parent transfer her to other school if she really cannot cope.

As for my child, the school, teachers, CCAs and the extra activities conducted only as autonomous has developed her into a confident young woman who is ready to take up more challenges. My second child has also joined the school.
