RE: Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary
Hi, I would like to find out more about this school, how are the Teachers, how is the principal, what is the emphasis of this school eg. Academic, holistic etc, also the different types of CCA that the school offers. I’m a former student and registration for my DD is next July. Still torn between St Marg or this school. Any feedback from parents? Many thanks.

RE: Lorna Whiston Pre School
Hi fayeV,
I totally agree with you. My kid started PG this year and I was around for the first 3 days. It was a chaotic mess, out of the 7 kids present- 4 were bawling and the 2 teachers seemed overwhelmed. Even the principal had to step in to help out, together with another more experienced teacher. Thank goodness, all the crying did not affect my kid but got less attention from the teachers because their hands were full(literally- carrying the crying kids from 9-12.30pm) everyday!!!
During the 3 days i was there, i also noticed there was not much structure in the curriculum, the kids did not seem to know when lessons started and ended. They just continued to play with the toys until the teachers guided one by one to the mat. I assumed there would be a song to signal the start of lessons(so that the kids can identify and start clearing the toys) and a song to end the day. But unfortunately, I think there was none.
Also, the english teacher seemed very inexperienced and her grasp of grammar was not up to standard, for which i was shocked. This is Lorna Whiston after all, language skills are their forte!!
Lastly, my kid kept falling sick all the time(6x within 1 1/2mths). I do know that falling sick when attending cc is normal & no fault of the school but sometimes I do wonder about the hygiene level!
So me & DH decided to pull our kid out from school, maybe when older & stronger(health-wise), we'll consider cc again. For now, we'll go back to 2-3 hour programmes, 3x a week.
