Hi my son just entered gyps and he seems to be really happy past few day. Can anyone enlighten me how many classes of p6 are there? not sure if I am mistaken but I was under the impression via there are only 2 classes. and do you know why so few classes?

Thanks

If i am not wrong, the school shifted to amk a few years ago and hence the enrolment was affected.

Thank applemum for your reply. since there so few classes, will there be Streaming in P3 and P4? Would be great if someone can help advise on how the School is preparing the kids academically for Psle, or how have the recent batches did for Psle?

Gyps tend to have smaller cohort compared to neighbouring schools. Streaming is done twice - once at p2 to stream into p3, another at p4 to stream into p5

My dd is in p3, teachers are great and i believe the school will prepare her adequately for psle. If anything, the teachers here are more used to slower students and tend to provide more support. Parents who can give good learning support at home would help tremendously.

School n teachers tend to be quite tight lipped about psle results, so i can't tell you how the different batches have performed.

Being a smaller school also means more learning opportunities for every student, especially leadership roles. That's one lifelong skills to acquire which you can't learn from books but by experience.

Perhaps a school tour and talking to school personnels might give you a better comparison? Distance is equally important too.

Personally, gyps is a good fit for my girl in all aspects. She is a dreamy girl since young but her P1 teacher saw her potential and gave her plenty of opportunity to be groomed as a leader. I can see her blossoming into a confident young lady, more in charge of her work and less dreamy over the years. She is now in P3.

Hope you can find what fits your child.

The school was totally rebuilt about three years ago. It's less popular than it otherwise might be because the other schools in Bishan are all hard to get into.

Any feedback about GYPS recently?

Hello! I am thinking of enrolling my child in GYPS next year as my first choice. This is because I seem to have the impression that the students are happy and well cared for there. Grades are important but not the single deciding factor for me. I would like my child to be in a happy and nurturing learning environment, rather than a stressful and competitive environment.


I am looking forward to attending their open house in July too.

Really appreciate if parents of children there can let us now how is GYPS doing now thank you!
