Can post more details of the open house? e.g. what time, any program, open to whom.

My gd fren is a staff member there. Next Wed is not an open house. It’s a curriculum briefing for parents. Heard only parents are allowed.

They like it cos of the activities they have during lessons. Alot of learn through play (based on what I heard from my students and their parents).
End up, my students do not like 'academic work' like worksheets and practice questions to prepare for exams. A few of them are trying to transfer out because they are worried that they do not have the ability to keep providing tuition to their children to ensure they are ready by P6 for PSLE, competing with other kids in SG.

But I think that is nothing new from north vista right.

As a parent, we can't put the blame 100% to the school we need to do our part. So far my kids are doing well, and he did some regular practices (legacy study) at home.

Most important is communicate with the teacher and understand the school direction. As well as the kids how he/she behaving.

You have to spend times with the kids, understand them. Not just based on what you heard or you seem, some kids suitable for north vista, some might not.

My 2 cents!

Any Parent bought that netbook for you kids?


Did you received the system? Is like a month already yet not receive any feedback or update ... :?

Ya, my only student in Primary One from North Vista almost everyday does not have homework to do in my student care centre :roll: All my other Pri One students from other schools very often have homework to do.

My son is in North Vista Primary School, primary 1. The students are to complete their work in school rather than to bring home and do. So, it is not that they do not have any homework.
