- FROM THE ARCHIVE: This series first aired on TV in 2015.
In a system where academic success matters, what happens if you fail your Primary School Leaving Examinations? “Don’t Call Us Beaten” captures life in two schools that offer these kids a second chance. Over one term, we chart their struggles and triumphs with teachers who won’t be beaten by failure.
NorthLight and Assumption Pathway Schools face a unique challenge. Their students have suffered a bruising at the national examination in Singapore known as the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), and every day is a battle to keep them in education.

The teachers deserve nothing less than admiration. One of the toughest jobs in Singapore.
and in the world
Agree, with great responsibility come with great consequences
@@chowsing6000 You mean with great power comes great responsibilities?
I like how northlight school didnt close the school gate cause my school will literally shut their gate in our face eventhough we are like 5 seconds late and we have to stand outside the school until the morning assembly ended. Once, I was too lazy to stand outside the school, so i went to have breakfast and then come back to school xD
Wahh this brings me back to my highschool days 😂
That's such a weird concept to me. To close the gates on students and not let them in. In our country if ur late and the gate is closed...it's just closed, u can open it and u just need a late slip in the office. Most of the time it's not closed. If ur late they just mark it down on the system and u go to class like usual. Soo many ppl r late
I'm just here and there in my country long time ago during the 90s the gate is usually open so a heck ton of kids run out and play , sports they like , like basketball or volley
Thats how you learn
In RVPS they make you put down your bag when the national anthem starts playing IF you are in the school. Afterwards you can just continue. If you are outside the gate you can just walk in and place your bag down in the foyer

Boy that was shouting 1: EHHH!!!!
Boy that was shouting 2: EH!
Other boy: Don't shout don't shout, got people filming.
Lol😂
i did not even realised that lmao
I wish all schools were like this in general, determined to teach children how to be a better version of themselves whilst also teaching them the basics for good jobs and higher education. These kids are really lucky they were given a second chance with amazing teachers who actually care about them. Our entire educational system needs to change to be honest.
Yess thiss!!❤
Mr Martin Tan ( the principal ) went to my school (sgps) after north light and I can ensure you he is the best principal because he remembers almost everyone's name and doesn't really scold but understand what we did
As a student with ADHD who was able to enter a top secondary school, sometimes I feel that I’m really lucky. Especially when I see other students with ADHD end up in so called “worse” schools (though they are simply schools for students who need more help). But I’m really happy that there are teachers around who are able to accept students with ADHD, and teach them how to manage their own emotions and attention at an early age. I find comfort in the fact that these schools do not give up on students simply because of a condition, and instead aim to educate them the best way they can.
So proud of my secondary school for adding in an education disability counseller... as someone with adhd/autism, it saved my life
And I Have Autism + ADHD Too 🥲
These scholls are like the Hufflepuff of Singapore. Really serve the true purpose of education!
Praise to the Principal who try his best to understand his students and work things out with them. As well as the teachers, they show their concern to the students and care about them…hope there are more educators like them to make the world a better place…
CNA, this was in 2015. It would be nice to have a follow-up on the kids 🙂
most likely they're in ITE, NS or living somewhere out there enjoying
Im a jc kid too but my principal doesnt even remember our names and ALWAYS shuts the gate at us not even thinking of how many hours jc kids put in to study. Many late students end up skipping lessons or even school completely. Shld have went to aps or northlight
bro jc good lah sia
My deputy head remembered most of our names.
She was my teacher for year 5 and 6.
I love these "Don't Call Us" Segments! Keep it up CNA!
@JXOLOLF, thanks for the support! Have you checked out the other two series online:

Next on cna
Dont call us smart
we need a series on that.
That would actually be so amazing
Respect to all the teachers.
love the northlight principal/discipline master
different people have different learning ability. i always wish to be like people who can take 1hrs to complete hw while me take 5hr to complete my. is more important to encourage people not give up
What an inspiring group of educators! So proud of them.
A GAMING ROOM?!
*Linda Wu has now become an early bird and joined APS*

I wish the girl who wanted to drop-out would realize that the rest of her life was being shaped. The choices you make, the person who choose to be, the path you choose to live…. They all are being shaped in her teenage years. So many things to see, so many adventures to experience, so many people to meet. Stay in school! You will regret in when you are in your 30’s and seeing others live well and do well.
There's a lot of stigma of not completing your studies at a certain age in Asia. I think that stigma needs to be rid of. There is nothing wrong with continuing your studies later on in life or at a later age. Yes you will be behind but it's also ok to take a gap year to figure out stuff and better yourself.
I love this series! I've worked with reluctant students in Asia myself in the past, and you can see that these teachers really care.
This school is better than a normal school this is how school should be instead of just sitting down writing useless stuff you won’t need in the future
Joash is so like me after running a race that I am not prepared for... "I wanna die already....water water water~" XD XD
I am a teacher. But I am student of this documentary. Great job CNA!
Joash, it’s not about FIRST or LAST! It’s your race and the journey that counts! Don’t worry and eventually you’ll get there!

There is nothing you cannot do/be/have. Great school . Great teachers. Really awesome to see. Putting this amount of effort it takes passions and love. :)
Wah, narrator is the acclaimed sg actor Lim Kay Tong (last few seconds of credit in this video). He sounds like Sir David Attenborough (the famous animal narrator). Great voice.

Boy: Cher today what day ah?
That's so me everyday lol 😂😂😂
And my teacher would look at me like this 😑 and say, " TODAY IS 25TH DECEMBER. "
The principal is very empathetic
Facilities and everything looks much better than any mainstream school.
The school teachers are so kind to the students ❤
CNA makes the best docos ever...
I suddenly want to go back to school even though i already graduated. Dear northlink, do you accept post graduates ? If yes, i will start to process my student visa lah
Just be a teacher. L
Why is there a L ?
“We are not failures , we have talent too “
8:03 only if my Teachers were this nice
I thought I would fail my PSLE.. but I didn't.. I actually changed my attitude and work hard... But secondary school is hard man
wait till u get to jc
dont give up!! fighting!
@@skraaapapakakaka145 not jc polytechnic
You can do it!!
Ya damn hard lmao
One of my friend is in northlight,last saw him last yr,gonna miss him
joash seems like a very smart boy who takes initiative!
These schools are amazing, we need them in Australia it would help so many students to succeed.
Kudos to the Teachers!
The principal talk like Malay sia...I wish my principal was like him
I’m honestly quite jealous of these students, with caring teachers, and I can’t be saying this cause I know all schools have caring teachers but this school feels so much better to go to than the one I am currently in. (I’m not disclosing what school I go to, I don’t need teachers to come and ask why I think that about the school)
kudos to joeash persistent in running!
Seems like the principal is great!
i have adhd too..i was never able to make any friends in primary school, i was a weird kid in class and in church choir...i was always left out and alone...now im in sec sch im still not able to trust ppl and make friends..i wish i could go to this school...where i study among those who are like me...i think i can be myself if im in a comfortable environment
find something that you can help others with. and doing sports helps to offload some of that energy (and make you confident & disciplined)
"People are filming"
they are bunch of bright student, seeking its path in darkness.... they need someone to show the way. 🥰
aye, joash. King boss
Yes
I got ADHD but I'm glad I'm not hyper like a vibrator
Ace_Bernhard boi 🤣😊
Actually some are quite smart but slower than normal peers once they get the rope of it they are way smarter than anyone
i wish i went to that school, so relaxed
A game room and field trips to ride horses...what a hard school.
“don’t shout. they’re filming”
The absence of a father is rough. Especially, a father that’s also a good man. Mothers will provide the love that fathers are reluctant to show. All children deserve all the love & affection. It’s the right way .. the only way. Everything else will happen anyway because life doesn’t hit pause. Teachers are the parents in school for sure. I’m still trying to become that.
amazing
Wao Sham Luke looks kind of very strict and fierce
The prefects,Teachers,security guards are like officers
Btw it's not prefects it's Student councillor. And we don't act perfect like those mainstream school prefects
1.35: "Failure shld not be used"
Asian parents: I beg to differ
I'm was in the school opposite northlight a few years back.
Northlight school seems fun
Northlight have one of my cousin go there but i go acs barker
@@tokkel2685 okay and?
@@tokkel2685 no one asked
@@tokkel2685 Damn so smart. ACS Barker is definitely one of the top schools nationwide.
tok kel paikia ah you
stay in school guys working life sucks
Student1: AAAAA WAES
Student2: eh don’t scream people filing (filming)
9:13 that what I planning to do in next year. but it just 2 more years finish to school
22:56 He was the last one lol
Lol
Hahahaahahaha totally the last one why would they lie omg
@@one-gt6ve it's about the mentality of being the last one = failure. they just want to encourage him and not reinforce the belief about failure
And yet schools with a 230 aggregate like mine have nothing like any of these facilities.
do you wish to have their learning ability??
@@weiwenang1302 I don't that is why I want equal facilities be it an IP school or a sc school
Dimension of a crazy kid are you asking for equal treatment over unequal abilities? Ever heard of need based assistance?
different schools have different facilities based on what they focus on! like my school focuses a lot on social innovation so we have many spaces for that. also facilities for track and field because we are one of the top in that. however some school have facilities for like arts and design! the amount of funding per school will also affect the facilities... also an ip school isn’t much different, we literally have the same facilities as the o level counterpart!
Hong yi you can do it!
I actually just ended up not going to JC quite a fair bit because I stayed over an hour away and I didn’t want to be late. I was the class chairman though LOL.
Still did well enough to go to NUS though so I guess it worked out.
I the boss I the tiger roarrrrr- Joash, 2019
My friends, EVERYONE ,IF our young generation READ books and STUDY for the SAKE of EXAM and because they were told to, and not because they LOVE and want to. Then the education is a failure itself
what if i hate reading for exams but still love reading in a non-exam setting?
it's not a failure if you find out later after you passed the exams what your subjects of interest really are
Was this a repost because i seen this before??
Potatoo King probably 🧐
Hi @Potatoo King, we posted Ep 2 back in 2015 when the show was airing on TV. We've now posted the entire series on CZcams for viewers to rediscover these wonderful kids.
CNA uwu ty then
This school changed alot before this the school call AVI Singapore most violent gangster school.there have gang fight and other more. But now this school have changed and different from last time what I have seen..
*Why is there a Crucifix in Assumption Pathway School?*
Better search what's Assumption is in Christianity
It used to be Boys Town VI..the most notorious sch in s'pore. The principal back then was a "Brother", church related and all that. It became Assumption VI and renamed as Assumption Pathway Sch today.
Whatever the name, the intent is to keep students like these safe and give them hope.
long story short APS is a christian school much like AES
Because it is a catholic school, governed by the Catholic Order of the Montfort Brothers of St Gabriel.
So these are the "vocational schools"
Bro I saw that Rudy tik too guy
I got A for everything but mothertounge was E I was so close to going here I was scared but it’s a good school
What is your mother tongue?
@@cnachopchopnewsagency mandarin but im not chinese so I struggled
6:03 wait they have x box
Rooting for Joash. Nothing wrong with him.
He is weird
"P.l.s.e."
I'm in assumption pathway school and is okay
i live near northlight HAHA
3:58 it shouldnt be that it (family problems) affect your learning...are you serious? What kind of advice is this? Do you think that students want to feel that way/are able to volunatarily suppress such tumultuous emotions at will? This is the kind of bs that leads to stunted emotional growth
Whoah, and I get unhappy whenever I get lower than 75%
If you ever fail in #PSLE you know where you go to .
That's a nice way to discourage someone
if you were, not to be offensive.
Mr tan best
Hello hello hello
children are not failure, look at their parents.
Principal and vice principal like a judge 👨⚖️

Lmao my school punishes late comers no matter what the reason is
NORTHLIGHT XS
It must be started in the home, or military school from age 2 to 18, and birth control, unless you will pay for all the upkeep of the children.
Did this dude really said military school? 😂
I'm taking my PSLE this year and this video gave me more stress as THE PSLE IS IN 4 MONTHS TIME!!!! OMG

Dk why I didn’t receive notifications for these replies but I did okay....I Guess? I got into express stream but it’s not a rlly good score tho. Sigh.
But the good thing is that I’m doing quite well now in Sec sch. I just need more help with Chinese and history [people kept saying history is easy but I suck at it :( ]. I’ll choose geography instead :/

No in between, talent doesn’t matter if you cant even put in a minimal effort to study in school at all.
