It offers 16 CCAs.
School overview
Poi Ching was founded in 1919 by Reverend Canon Guok Koh Muo at Victoria Street. The Futsing Association took over in 1924, moving the school to Queen Street. It became government-aided in 1958, moved to Toa Payoh in 1970 and received SAP status in 1992. The Tampines Street 71 move followed in 2000; PERI upgrading added a seven-storey teaching block in 2014, followed by single-session schooling and a student care centre in 2015.
The ALP page describes its 2023 activities by level: Chinese speech and drama for Primary 1–2, group storytelling for Primary 3, English drama for Primary 4, English public speaking for Primary 5 and Chinese vlogging for Primary 6. The Chinese Young Reporters group at Primary 5 was selected, rather than the whole cohort. The current English department also lists debating, Reading Circle, recess literacy games and a news quiz. The dated ALP examples show the approach without confirming an identical itinerary every year.
