Hi mama123, I'm registering my son to gmsp in this year p1 registration. Can I ask your opinion and views about the school culture, teaching staff and student demographic? Also when will the upgrading construction be completed? Thanks for your advice!

My child was in P1 in TKPS. They are less academically driven and pace is much slower. More holistic environment, they have more interesting CCAs. Student demographic... more Indians and non chinese.

We transfered him in P2 to GMPS. Teachers were great and they are more academically driven than TKPS. Christian based culture and majority are chinese. CCA choices are not as diversed... pretty standard type. My younger one is in P1 now. Comparing their English standard... definitely GMPS is more challenging.

Their upgrading is targeted to complete by end of the year. I am hoping that they can convert to single session next year.

Hi mama123, thank you so much for the prompt response. I’ve also been hearing consistent positive feedback about gmps. Hoping for single session too as this will free out time for the kids in afternoon to relax a bit. Hehe

Hmm… should I put in kong hwa 1st and use GMPS as backup? Or should I directly put GMPS… Kong hwa us within walkable distance buy I dun have direct transport to GMPS. Lots of factors to consider sigh…

We had the same dilemma previously. Tried our luck in Kong Hwa but wasnt successful. We were lucky to be able to ballot again at TKPS in the next phase and luckily we got in. Otherwise we would have ended up in Macpherson which is totally not convenient for us.

It depens on whether u want to take the risk or not. N whether u have any chance to register in earlier phase. GMPS is usually filled up fully in P2C.

Kong Hwa P2C 1-2 km - zero chance.

Hence, possible to apply but not possible to get in.
