kiki,


rosyth is pretty ok. my boy just completed p1 and pretty much breezed thru. i don’t feel the sch puts a lot of stress on students, which is gd. or maybe p1 and p2 just honeymoon years. his form teacher is pretty gd also. overall no complaints.

kimifin:

I am keen to know about KP and Proteach (blk 541) too...

please advise.

KP-Need to know just arrangements after 5-6pm, where to pick up kids if sch gate is closed?
Proteach- if kids got CCA, or remedial, who will help to pick them?

In terms of food and showering, which is better?
Not keen for tuition...

kimifin,

my son is in KP. you can pick your child up at gate 1. shower is optional in KP but i still get my son to shower everyday as part of his routine. i find the customer service not very gd though. they are not very responsive to my sms, esp when i text to let them know my son is sick and not going to KP. not sure if this is normal for after sch care service.

phtthp:

below report state that Rosyth primary has a sizeable international student community, from various countries.

True or false ?

Dunno. The students in my child's class are all Singaporeans. Don't see a lot of foreigners when I send my child to school each morning.

Yup 2,400. I wonder how the school copes with so many students. The principal even shared she has a big school but has resources of a JC (meaning less teachers!).

if you’re living near the sch, makes sense to walk, doesn’t it? or is the jam caused by parents who live nearby but insist on driving their kids to sch???

I was picking up my girl from Knowledge Park and this is what I noticed and heard


1. The class that housed the P1 was chaotic and seems that the 2 \"teachers\" are not experience to handle 30 children.
2. At 4.30pm was the time I picked my girl. The \"teachers\" demand that children place their head on the table to have their nap!!! at 4.30pm!!!!
3. One of the teacher said in a not so nice tone \"If I see any head not on the table, I will punish you\"

4. As I was bringing my girl to the toilet before I go, I noticed that the last classroom was worst and I see students sitting in 2 circles but 1 group nearer to rear entrance was \"practising their taekwondo skills\"

I will be evaluating for the next 2 weeks to see the teachers.

Please share your evaluation. My son didn't shower yesterday and brought back his shower gel (also dunno why). When I text the centre mgr, she cldn't give me an answer. I heard that during early dismissal on Wed, the students were put in the hall and only brought to KP at 2pm. If they don't buck up within the next month or so, wondering if I should pull him out.

Hi Parents,


My son will be in P1 in 2016, and Rosyth is my alma mater. So i will most probably register in 2A2 in JUly. I say most probably as I am still wondering if I should strike it off due to distance.

I stay in Pasir Ris. (near elias mall) so if I drive maybe 20mins. Im planning to do a recee trip soon in the morning on a school day at 6.30AM and see how it goes.

I also know a ss in the school now in P6. Who tells me about the long queues in the canteen during recess. anyone can shed some light abt how the school is now? Also heard their dismissal is now 1.45pm...Hmmm, i really feel thats too long. :shock:

I'm a primary school teacher actually. (and once in a while i do think about sending my son to my own school....haiz) :slapshead:

I don't recommend u send your child to Rosyth if you can get him into your school. Wouldn't it make sense since you can be on the lookout for him? I stay in Punggol and half regret not applying for HIPS instead. Everyday we're struggling to get to school on time, and I don't wish to have my kid wake up earlier than 6am since he doesn't sleep that early either. I do feel sorry for him sometimes when I see how tired he is by the end of the day.

For now, the roads are very jam in the morning since there are a lot of parents dropping their kids off. From Punggol to Rosyth takes about half an hour on average. Pasir Ris should be longer.

what inconsiderate things do the drivers do? sigh, I wonder how long this terrible traffic situation will last.


as for knowledge park, I find them rather disorganised. 1st few days the kids didn’t manage to take shower and they aren’t doing much. sorting out a lot of kinks.

I’m still getting used to getting my child there on time. Traffic is a killer and every resourceful parent is finding ways and means to drop off every where, including the HDB carparks, to get their kids to school on time. Anyone found the best route to school? I’m coming from Punggol.

Has it been easy to enrol in the new student care? Are there school bus arrangement in the evenings? Understand that RPS is going single session in 2015.


Will the nearby Pro teach be available too, but how will students go there after school???

Parents of RPS, pls share on the student care, thanks!

The in-house student care is by Knowledge Park. There is a Pro Teach centre at a nearby HDB block. Knowledge Park yearly intake is 150 students across all levels. There is no sch bus arrangement in the evening.
