We are fortunate to have a school based student care at West Spring. Many parents are happy with the service provided by the current operator. I would strongly suggest for you to contact the management of the student care to discuss your concerns with them. Then they will be able to give you a clearer idea of their policies.

With all due respect to chatelaine, the student care is not a tuition centre. We must be very clear on this fact. It is an house student care, which provides supervision to its students after school. The mentors are not there to provide tuition. They are there to ensure that students do their homework that was given by the school. There are times that students are unable to complete homework on time due to other activities held at the student care. The mentor is not there to teach the subject that your child is doing for their homework.


The current student care has an excellent reputation in Singapore, and is doing an outstanding job at West Spring. There is a long list of parents waiting to enroll their child.

Hi BumbleBz,

Thank you for your interest in West Spring Primary School. You may wish to call the school for further information. The school number is 63144192.

Thank you once again for your interest in the school.

West Spring Primary is a new school with only three levels compared to other schools that have 6 levels. Each year it has had the highest number of applicants compared to the other schools in Bukit Panjang


Balloting takes place in a particular category when there are more applicants than vacancies. It does not mean because other schools have held ballots that they are more popular than others.

The numbers are clear from the 2C registration that West Spring Primary once again had the highest number of applicants in the Bukit Panjang area. Phase 2C is where most applicants will come under compared to any other phase.

Well done to the School and its team for achieving a high reputation in such a short time.

Hi STHL28,

delighted to know that you are considering West Spring primary for your child. West Spring Primary follows the MOE curriculum just like in any primary school. They also include Purposeful Learning Activities for the Young, which are an addition to the curriculum. The school has an excellent team of teachers and staff that help every child achieve their goal. I am a parent of a child in the school and would highly recommend this school.

The school is fortunate to have a school based student care to help working parents with after school arrangements for their child. There are many advantages of a school based student care, which include the student care centre working closely with the school and its curriculum.

Please do take a look at the school website which would give more information on West Spring Primary and its student care service.

Hi Tenko


Thanks for your replied, now I got more confident to register my daughter to WSP
Just the only concern is the SC, previously I visited to a SC which located at BLK 613, the environment looks good, just a bit far distance from WSP and my home, I might need to arrange school bus for my daughter.

understand the school bus contact is provided by the school, rite? I can get from the school upon my registration on coming July?

really can wait to have a visit to WSP and meet up all the parents/members here.. :rahrah:

Hi YH mummy,

I can understand how you must feel regarding the student care. However, the school is trying its very best to increase the capacity in the school based student care to help the students who need the service.

Once you obtain a place at West Spring Primary, the school will provide you with details of the services such as Bus Transport and the Student Care.

Once again, all the best for the P1 regsitration.

YH mummy:

Hi all parents

Im goin to enroll my daughter to WSP next year P1, I also heard a lot of positive feedback from my neighbour who enrolled their kids to WSP but im under phase 2c, do you think the possibility for my daughter to enroll WSP? Beside, I do understand the Student care which only have little vacancy, do you guys have any recommended SC near/outside WSP? Hoping to hear from your kind sharing soon, thanks

Hi YH mummy,
you are making the right choice. I am a parent of a child at West Spring Primary School and I would like to assure you that it truly is a great school. The school has become very popular in Bukit Panjang and even beyond. It is very hard to give any information concerning Primary 1 registration. All I can do is wish you the very best and I do hope you are fortunate to obtain a place.

The school is also fortunate to have a school based student care, which helps working parents with student care arrangements. It is also very popular and the spaces available are limited. There are many student care services in Bukit Panjang. It might be a good idea for you to take a walk around the neighbourhood area and visit some of the student care services to have a better understanding of their environment and serivces. However, I have heard that the school has possible plans to increase the student care capacity.

I hope that you will be able to join the West Spring Primary School family next year.
