Does anyone have kids who are studying at YZ, and is looking for a flat nearby to rent?

Hi all, how is Yangzheng now? I actually gave up a balloting chance in nan chiau and decided to keep my secured seat in Yangzheng as an ex student, but after decision made, wondering if made the wrong decision.


Any parents here with kids entering p1 in 2016?

Also, anyone can feedback on good student care nearby?

Hi, my daughter has gotten a place in YZPS. Can anyone advise contact of the school bus? When should I start reserving a seat for her? Thanks.

Hi, DD will be starting P1 in YangZheng in 2016.


Let’s share info to help our children enjoy and do well in their primary school years in YangZheng!

Hi Melody00: Wait for the orientation day. When all postings are confirmed, the school will send admission information to parents by mail. The relevant information will be made known to parents - school bus, uniforms, textbooks etc.


Hi yjj: I thought myself not so qualified to post here now, since DD has left YZ for 1.5 years already. However, she still held fond memories of her P1-P3 years at YZ, with cheerful, forgiving teachers and all the fun she'd had with her former classmates. The school celebrated all pupils' small and big wins in everything, and there are so many meaningful activities available for them to do and try, my DD had a hard time tearing away. I'm sure your DD will enjoy her time there too.

Hi, welcome to join the Yangzheng 's family.

Well, being a neighbor school, the environment is quite relaxing . So far, it is quite stress free for my girl . I don’t really monitor closely on her school work .But at times, still need to help her eg. Prepare show and tell (English n Chinese) and social study project work . But she spends more time reading story books than doing her homework.
Though the new principal came from Rosyth, I find her more down to earth than the formal p .The teachers in general are accommodating. The lower primary teachers are normally the motherly type. My girl’s Pri 1 teacher still remember me and smile n even chat with me whenever I meet her at the school events.
Though a non sap school, my girl does go for her higher Chinese lessons after normal school hour since Pri 3.
In term of academic result , very much depend on the child n not the school. Of course, also the expectation of parents. I think most parents will send their kids to enrichment classes. As indicated in the report in Strait Time, eight out of ten primary school kids will have tuition or enrichment classes. But I don’t intend to send my girl for one. I want her to enjoy her school life and childhood.
My take is that if your child is a big fish in a small pond, he or she still can make it to the top secondary schools.
Every year at the prize giving day, I see Yangzheng ex-students from RI , RGS, DHS, Nanyang, Cedar, Catholic ,NUS high came back . My hairdresser ’ s kids were from Yangzheng went to Catholic high n TKGS and then VJC.Her girl even got a MOH scholarship to study in Australia. Her boy will be studying chemical engineering after failed to get in medicine course .She told me she never spend a single cent on tuition . instead, they bought back the $$ from the edusave award, prize etc.
I hope my sharing can help the parents of the new Yangzhengnites.

Sori , my girl saw my typo error and reminded me - should be> neighborhood school and not neighbor school

Thank you reddiechan and magiccastle for your comments!


My elder 2 were/ are in CHIJ OLN (Sec 1 and P5 now) but we’ve moved from Sengkang to potong pasir hence the change of school for the youngest, and the nerve racking Phase 2C registration!

I mainly chose schools that I felt were strong in character building and a good environment, which is more important to me at Primary level cos that’s future-proof.

Looking forward to DD joining Yangzheng and being part of the family of the 110 year old school!

Hi


I am new to this forum. May I enquire what is the indicative school bus fee to & fro YZPS to Sgoon Central (Blk 400+). Any mummies know?

[yjj]

Was at admin day in Yangzheng yesterday, all well run and was a little disappointed that the uniform vendor wasnt there...


but the major horrors was school bus not sure of service to Potong Pasir/ Pheng Geck area! :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

They say that they will monitor requirements. Please send your request to the bus company http://www.tsbs.com.sg/ and hopefully we will have enough students :xedfingers:
