Yishun Town Secondary School

[Prawnie]

this is about my school's clubs and societies:


1. Including: Chess, Photography, Green club and infocomm!

2. Chess: They're quite pro at it! my friend's in there and they have a lot of competitions, particularly in the beginning of the year..and they're quite experienced in chess!

3. Photography: Well it's quite a small group..they are sent to competitions and stuff but nothing much, not like the JCs photography who travel everywhere to take photos haha!

4. Green club: they manage our school's roof top garden!

6. Infocomm: they do the normal stuff about infocomm lor..and they control the mike during morning assembly so they've got quite a big role during morning assembly!

now i'd like to talk about my school generally:

1. my school has a great environment. the classroom facing the road is very big!! and they have a lot of benches for students to study..

2. the architecture is quite complicated at first eg: you have to take a specific staircase to this side of the staff room but it's quite..cool in a sense!

3. our principal really cares! esp our previous principal he's so nice! but he went to nan chiau high

okay i think that's it cheers~!

i hope to see your child in YTSS!

What are the possible chances that my DS can get into the normal academic stream instead of express for YTSS?

We too attended the Open house on Saturday. We also had opportunity to mix with rest of the Sec 1 aspirants ;> I was surprised to see students & their parents from most of the Primary schools in the North. I was very impressed with the CCAs. Yishun Town seems to be No1 among the secondary schools @ North.

For CCAs both students from Express, Normal & Normal (technical) all would be grouped together. There has been previous incidents of \"ragging\" & bullying....My main worry is about safety of our children. :roll:

well,my frens' children are in yishun town and this school is really very good, u need not really worry about the school's ability to teach your children, if ur children does the appropriate things when met with bullying incidents, there would not be a problem!

Hi Prawnie… when did your ex-Principal leave? And how long has your new Principal been around? Lastly, which school was your new Principal leading previously?


Do you happen to know?

Hello!

I'm in secondary 3 now, and life is rather stressed up for me but i guess it's typical.
uhm my current principal is Mrs Tan Chuen Yin and she joined us in the beginning of last year if i'm not wrong. my ex principal went to Nan Chiau high, and my current principal used to be from Chung Cheng High (main)!
Oh, it's true that sec ones don't have mid years. When i was in sec 1 my english wasn't that good too but it slowly improved. For geography, just make sure that the content is there! For history, the content is also important, but more important is the skills to tackle the qns. We need to know the explanation what leads to what and so on, it'll be easier!
can't say much, because i'm in upper sec i can't remember what i did last year! sorry!
cheers!

Hey Prawnie... thanks for your answer. Yishun New Town Secondary looks very interesting.

Also, YTSS has the best badminton hall in town. Nice rubber court. But the court 1 ceiling needs to be fixed tho. Leaking badly. :rahrah:
