The move is for renovation, or so that’s what we’ve been told.
High teacher turnover - well, they have a few who are loyal and won’t move. Mostly older ones. The younger ones aren’t given adequate guidance on how to handle the kids, so I guess they get frustrated too. They are assessed end of the school year and get assigned to which class the principal thinks is suitable. So, if you’ve heard of a particular teacher and want her, you may not get her…

I agree w the other review above - the children are not given fair assessment regarding abilities. The principal seems to only be concerned on academic value and not development of good character and morals. Kids who are mostly mean can and are given model student awards just because they do their work well. I think that is giving the wrong impression to other well-behaved children. Shouldn't a model student be well-rounded and be chosen by the class teacher? Class bully problem not addressed and parents not counseled adequately. I hear the bully was given 'social isolation' for a week in class ie not allowed to interact with other children for a week following an incident (how does that teach anything?) No calling up of parents for apology etc. School activities involving parents also cramped towards end of the year making it difficult for parents to take leave week after week at short notice. If you drive your kid to school, good luck. No staggering between school times or activities like Sports Day means traffic congestion and unhappy residents surrounding the school.
Disappointed in the management. So disappointed as I had such high expectations of the school. My kid loves her class teacher and her Chinese teacher. But the management spoiled everything. :sad:
I wouldn't start q-ing for a place in this school @ 3am knowing this. Apply only if you know your child is a model student and you can walk to school.
