I m really not sure of this new generation of teachers teaching our young! In my times in pri & sec sch, I find I have come across committed teachers. And in my sec sch, I have a principal who’s rooted strongly in Chinese values, and stern yet motherly. Most of teachers must have been on par with her as many are long-serving staffs.


Nowadays, not sure if the teachers go into the profession because it pays well, as we r short of teachers, and they choose it because of its ‘iron-rice-bowl’ nature? But then again, how to screen teachers who may have the passion and heart to teach?

Yeah, for something so important and yet they haven’t post out the letters nor do they call! They can’t take for granted that all parents can attend ballot!


Thus I’m getting worried to entrust my kid in that sch next year!

I just want to vent alittle. My kid managed to get into Punggol View Pri, but seems like the school’s internal admin/management also have their little bit of hiccup! On ballot day, they said they will inform by post asap on ballot results, even for those unsuccessful, but until today, I have received nothing from the sch. As I didn’t go to witness the ballot, I had to call the sch today again to check, just to make sure my kid indeed was successful in ballot.


Gosh, what if she was unsuccessful in the ballot? Shouldn’t the sch inform immediately so as to prepare the parent for 2C Supp. phrase? If I had been unsuccessful, wouldn’t I have nearly missed the 2C Supp. when I receive no mail confirmation, and if I hasn’t called to check!

Perhaps a more established sch would have been less ‘messy’ in their admin/management works?

Edgefield ok? Their numbers now at 141 applicants when I went. The lady there was helpful.

I was quite impressed with greendale pri students when I went for the open house. They speak confidently & they happy studying there. But I don’t know why not much registered there at greendale. Now makes me shaky abt making the switch!

That’s for sure. In popular schs like horizon/mee toh, definitely the teachers r motivated to teach. I m just thking, with such fierce competition at horizon, I got to consider alternative at the new schs. If ballot out, also must compromise at new schs. No choice now leh! I didn’t expect such high demand for horizon?!

Hi eastshore, why do u think the teachers won’t b motivated to teach in new schs like punggol green & punggol view? Thought new schs the principals & teachers will more want to show resultsto ramp up student rates?

HPS got CCA. But only P3 then the children need to take up a CCA. Not at P1 level.
