Qifa Primary School Review — P1 Guide & 2026 Updates

About Qifa Primary School

Qifa Primary School is a co-ed primary school in Singapore, in the West zone.

It offers 14 CCAs.

School overview

Qifa’s heritage page traces the school to Khee Fatt Study Institution, founded by the Char Yong (Dabu) Association in 1906. The association handed the school to MOE in 1984, and the move to West Coast Avenue in January 1985 brought the present name. Jin Tai Primary merged with Qifa in 2008. The history explains a continuing relationship with the founding association; it does not establish admission priority for families connected with it. Effective Communication became the school’s Applied Learning Programme in 2014, followed by its sports-based Learning for Life Programme in 2016.

The Applied Learning Programme uses discussion and Visible Thinking routines to help pupils consider different perspectives and explain their ideas. Qifa News Network offers interested pupils a broadcast-journalism platform: they train as reporters and presenters and help produce coverage of school events and immersion trips. The school describes a broadcast studio supporting video production. This is a specific opportunity for interested pupils, rather than a promise that every child presents the news. Families can ask how newsroom participants are chosen and how regularly they get to report or present.
