Hi Dondon,Ya..will meet her again before making a final decision. Hope there is a good change after the talk.
Just sceptical about what can be changed after going through last year \"ordeal\". So far I heard too much dissafaction from different level mommies so kinda affected - in the \"giving up\" stage. Just not sure hanging onto this school due to convenience's sake is a wise choice.
You are the first parent I heard good comments from. Your children are lucky to have met good leaders throughout their years. Thank ya for your encouragement!
I am shocked to hear that I am the first parent you hear positive things abt the school. I, on the other hand, hardly met parents who are unhappy with the school which makes me wonder who or where you have been getting feedback from. On the contrary, majority of the parents I hv met are very happy with the school and I know alot of them cos I am in the PSG. If the school have not been doing well, it would not hv to go through balloting for P1 last year. There were students who had to be turned down due to limited places.
If u heard negative things abt the school from one or two person that does not represent the whole school population. It is dangerous to making statements abt the school based on a one off remark without verification.
Do not dwell in this negativity, the sooner u resolve this ..the better it is for u and your children. All the best. -
I dont think this is negativity. The fact is the after several encounters with the principal, I personally do not think that can resolve the matter in a prompt and efficient manner.
Last year, we highlighted to the principal with reagrds to my older boy’s form teacher. She was constantly absent and it was often a relieve teacher.
This year, my older boy’s form teacher changed and she is much better. Unfortunately, that same teacher became my younger boy’s form teacher. And the problem is still the same. She is constantly absent. Was not even there for the class photo.
Our complaint last year was directed to MOE and the principal. If nothing has been done a year later, I dont see how another meeting would help.
The complaints I heard is not from a parent or two only. And yes, they can be verified. I personally don’t think that balloting is a benchmark for how good a school is. There could be many reasons why balloting was needed.
I made the statments because it actually happen and the many parents I spoke to have had their bad experiences. I can’t speak for the other parents, but in my case, everything can be verified.
Was there balloting this year for EPPS? -
nope
-
Can anyone share the profile of this principal from Elias Park Primary?
How long she had been in EPPS? -
Crossing my fingers my son won’t be getting the said form teacher next year.

Hi all
My DD will be in P1 next yr and looking fwd to it.
Just saw the announcement of Principal transfers recently and this is a norm for all schools to have Principals rotated every 5 years.
Anyway, Mdm Cassie Fan was awarded a Commendation Medal at the National Day Awards. See here:

Her appts as VP before were in both Woodlands Ring and Si Ling Pri.
A little bit more about her ... she's a Physics grad from NUS in '91. She was also a former Senior ICT Instructor in ETD (Educational Technology Division), MOE.

Guess u were there last Fri for the orientation.
Wished that they had coordinated the sales of books and uniform on the same day .... quite difficult for working parents to take another day off ....
-
Yes I was!
I didnt want to queue for all of that so I went to buy books n unifrm way before the orientation. I drove all the way to Teck Whye to purchase the uniform and for the books,I got them the day they started selling,tht was on the 15th.
I knew it’ll definately be a hassle to do everythg on the orientation day.
So whc class is ur girl in?
Did u sign up for the PSG?
