you're most welcome

If you need more information maybe you want to drop by the open house like what the other parents in this forum has discussed about. Its on 26th May, Saturday

omg great! i love eating noodles!

ImMeeMee:

i have heard that navel base pri is a good school to support special needs children such as autistic children.


any comments from parents here?

Well, most schools currently have AED (Allied Educators) to help out such students. However, it is true that Naval Base has a more solid foundation being the pioneers of having such a system. They welcome students with open arms regardless of abilities as long as they are able to pass a simple diagnostic test that's all. (from friends in there)
hope this helps

My personal impression of agents are mostly, basically blood leeches who screen no tutors and just accept any or all applicants in order to satisfy clients’ demands. Just my personal opinion anyway so no need to get worked up for those agents who really care about students’ needs.:X

you are really efficient! haha

well, interaction between children is important phase of growing up.

that's great to hear! all the best for ya open day trip

agreed

nevertheless like i said, it is better to find out more about various schools and base on what your child might have an interest in to be a point for discussion during decision making. All schools have their strengths and maybe points for improvement

There will be an open house soon in Naval Base Primary i think.

Anyway I am just glad to be of some help
For Chinese improvement, it is important to start with 听说 part for him. Make your child interested in cartoons or books for example before allowing him to stretch his vocab in chinese

Hi, ShinTutor

That is great, I would like to know the exact date of the open house.

For Navel base, frankly speaking, I have heard of negative comments. As my friends worked in tution centre previously. She has seen many kids from Navel base is not doing so well for both Math and English. That makes me worried. My home is within 1 km from navel base.

May I know more about the school in terms of profile of kids, teacher's support and interaction with parents, school CCA? I have to say there are two things I am looking for when it comes school of choice: 1) The profile of peers 2) The teachers.

Hope to hear from you soon.

The exact date is shown on their school website. Its 26th May if i am not wrong. Well, there is bound to have negative comments but i must ask compared to whom? The elites ? the smarter ones? Isn't the job of a tuition center to help those in need rather than comment on them? There are bound to have weaker students in this world we are living in. Let us first be realistic and accept the fact we might not have \"smart\" children in the whole society before we come to judge anything.

I am in support of schools that play a role in educating a child to grow up right and honest concurrently in their academic progress

Ok, first of all, we know for a fact that there are lesser in take in naval base so i assume their extra intake will mainly come from foreign talents so there will be a mixture of locals and these students in the class. P1 are never streamed so it will be good education for local students to interact with them as Singapore, as we all can see, is heading in such a direction of population ratio. They are well known for their parental support and their PSG is very involved in school activities, which will almost always have teacher-parent interaction depending on circumstances.

Like i said, their niche area is in golf thus they are very strong in it. They have children heading for national and even international championships thus if you are looking into a prospect of something different, it could be that. Their soccer boys have made it into the 2nd round of nationals after last week and netball girls in the semi finals when i last heard. They also have their band which is set up recently but achieving silver for their SYF which i did mention before.

Well, they do have alot of caring teachers with some of them my peers thus I shouldn't comment too much about it as it is better for a parent to find out themselves during the open house. They pride themselves as a school that provides a caring environment thus I feel that naval base should be an environment that will provide plenty of social emotional needs.

I am not an advertiser for this school nor am i hoping parents to put them in but rather i did hope that parents these days can be less of a stereotype of various schools and be support of schools that truly care.
Like i always say,

If you never try, you'll never know~
I just hope children will grow up the right way. As all can see, Yishun has alot of \"small bengs\" around recently which is so sad to see. All kids need are a little hope and someone to believe in them

There will be an open house soon in Naval Base Primary i think.

This is nonsense. Totally against the role of educating
