Hi, I'm new to this forum. My son is going into P1 on 2012, was planning to send him to KCPPS as I live within 1 km from the school and was thinking of becoming a PV. However, I heard that they might be moving to AMK in 2 years time. Anyone heard about that?

yes they are very likely to move to AMK temporarily for about 2 years, during which the school at current site will undergo extension to cater to single session.

From past few years' p1 enrolment, within 1km surely get a place.

Yes, my guess is that they will move to the same temporary holding school that Guang Yang is going to next year. When Guang Yang moves back to its current location, will be KCPPS's turn to move there. Its near AMK Ave 2, St 22, I think.

Hi all, thanks for the reply and confirmation. Glad to hear that it's just temporary. Am going to try out doing PV with the school just to find out about their school life there. Anyone knows what do I need to do?

u can visit the school office and pick up a PV form.

Please see posts in this http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=410&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lee+kuo+chuan&start=30. A fellow forummer confirmed with MOE that Lee Kuo Chuan had closed down.

Kuo Chuan Presbyterian is not a merger of Lee Kuo Chuan and Presbyterian, but merger of Kuo Chuan Girls' School and Presbyterian Boys' School to become a co-ed school.

how about personally do you think st gariel's or kcp ?

St Gabriel good meh? Personally, I think don't think so - not when you already have a choice of Ai Tong and KCP. When looking for a primary school for my children, a strong foundation in Chinese is a must for me. I think Ai Tong and KCP have a higher chance of providing that environment than St Gabriels.

Dear,
Just needed an opinion.
My child would be joining KCP in 2011 as P1.
We are of indian origin.
Though in kindergarten my child does learn mandarin, i hv still not sent her to any enrichment classes to learn mandarin.
So my question is:- IF I START SENDING HER TO AN ENRICHMENT CLASS / TUITION FOR MANDARIN as i want her to take Mandarin as a second language - As an indian with both parents NOT speaking mandarin will it be easy for my child to cope?

Any indian parents on this forum have faced this issue with there child?

We are quite interested in she learning madarin also because of the recent changes taht MOE has been discussing, thks to the mistake taht was admitted by minister mentor.
