Guangyang Primary
-
Hi, my daughter is born in 2007. We are not local so options in Toa Payoh where we live currently are none for my little girl. I was told that Guangyang still has over 100 spots after phase 2C. I don’t know about this year registration for 2014. Would love to know from mummies of Guangyang students of 2013 P1. We don’t aim for “big famous popular” school, we just want a friendly environment for our daughter. Our lease is expired in April so we’re thinking of moving to Bishan so that it’s close to the school. Still very nervous that she may not be able to get in to Guangyang. Please advise.

Any parents noticed if the older kids wore name tags on their uniform? My ds is still wearing the tag which was given to him on the 1st day, but I believed that’s not the perm thing.

My gorgor not wearing the tag but kept it in his school bag.

Hi Melissaryan, seems that GYPS is full house for P1 2013. Foreigners, ie. non-PR had to do balloting for the final phase - first time for GYPS. I think because they are now in a brand new building with very good facilities. The learning environment is not stressful, plus teachers are very caring and dedicated - my son absolutely love his P1 experience. I expected him to cry on the 1st day, but no, …he settled in so well and told me how he love the school and his teachers. The students are from diverse background - Japanese, American, Italian, South American, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese…it feels like an International School, just without the exorbitant school fees. As a parent, I’m so pleasantly surprised…Also, the senior kids are so respectful of teachers and visitors and very polite, which reflects very well on how the school nurtures their students.

Hi
I am new to the forum. My son just joined P3 this year. Any feedback about the school
thanks -
I noticed when I tell neighbours I am thinking of sending my girl to GY, they would give me the look, like maybe u should reconsider, or why not kuo chuan? What exactly is wrong with GY?
Parents of existing students, any regrets? How are the teachers? Are they caring? -
Dear parents,
I m considering sending my girl to Guangyang. Need help from parents of children who has been in GYPS for the past 2 years to advise how has the experience been so far? Any progress over the past few years under the new principal? We live within 1 km to Aitong but we are thinking of giving our girl a more balanced and enjoyable primary school life and hopefully at the same time have adequate preparation for PSLE at the of it… Heard good reviews on GYPS so would like to find out more.
Thank you very much -
Hi, I am considering all schools within my area for my so, who will be primary one in 2014. We are not very keen on a branded school and was wondering about how Guangyang Primary is now. I will appreciate if any parent could feedback about their personal experience about the school. i.e. the syllabus, the teachers, the CCAs. Anything about the school.Thank u in advcance.

Got to know that Guangyang Primary School is very strong in performing arts, especially in Handbells. Check out the school website....

I like the website, can feel the \"vibrancy\" of the school.Heard from someone I know in the school that they will be organising a parent seminar in Bishan CC in July. Worth attending if you want to find out more about the school.

Dear parents,
We just relocated back to Singapore for good from HK and we were searching around our area (Bishan) for a primary school for our 2 kids.
Initially I had contacted Ai Tong and Kuo Chuan for my older one but they had put her on waitlist. Being “kiasu” and don’t want to end up no school for my daughter, I contacted MOE and they introduced GYPS to me.
I have no info and ideas how GYPS has been performing, but I just don’t want to put up my kids in a school which stress them up. Branded or not branded, it really doesn’t matter to me, just that I want my children to grow up and learn in an good environment with a good balance on study and childhood.
My kids were studying international school before when they were in HK and thanks god that the curriculum was not very tensed and stressful, and they emphasized more on developing the kids creativity.
Back to GYPS, when I asked around, all my friends and other colleagues gave me that kind of face when I mentioned the school name… “are you sure or not… a lot of ah beng there… bla bla bla, etc”.
Can anyone of you give me some highlights how you feel about GYPS?
Millions thanks.
