Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I intend to register my DS into Dazhong for the upcoming phase 2C 2014 P1 registration. Is there any good after school care nearby Dazhong primary school? Can any parents with kid studying in Dazhong share your experience on this school?

Thanks in advance!

School starts at 7.20 am till 1.30 pm on Mondays-Thursdays. On Fridays, school will end at 1 pm. However, if your child needs to attend supplementary, remedials, CCA or enrichments, school will end much later. Usually around 4.15 pm

There are a few student care centres around Bukit Gombak area, such as Cowabunga, Pro-teach etc.. you can always google them.

However, Dazhong also has an in-house student care centre which is managed by an external vendor. You can find out more by contacting the school. I am sure they will be able to assist you.

My experience with the school has been positive so far...

Most teachers are warm and helpful. The P and VP are very kind and supportive ladies who go all out to help the students achieve their fullest potential.

Yes, there is PSG in Dazhong. There's a myriad of activities that parents can contribute to, namely, Values in Action, library, extensive reading, excursions.. the list is not exhaustive. You can always approach the school and they will be able to help you.

There will be a coffee-chat session with the P and VP every year, for every level - spread out throughout the year, depending on which level your child is in. You can contribute feedbacks and ideas during those sessions. Alternatively, you can always email the P and VP. For pressing issues, you can always make an appointment with the school and they will assist you with your needs.

If you need to talk to the teachers, you can always call the school and leave a message or email the teachers. You can also leave a message on your child's pupil handbook and inform your DC to show it to the respective teacher. From my experience, lower primary teachers are always around the dismissal area and you can always meet them if there are any urgent issues.
