Bukit Panjang Government High School

Hi, would like to seek opinions of BPGHS ? What is the school culture?
I would like to know the plus and minus of the school.
Warmest.
Thank you -
Hi, would like to know more about the NA in BPGHS. Does the school and teachers put in efforts to the NA classes and students or they allocate their resources to the express classes only? Are the NA students motivated and well behaved?
Any parents had any insight to share?
Thank you -
For so many years and I see just 9 pages of reviews about the school. Look like the support group is not strong in promoting the school. Hope to read more feedbacks from parents about the school but can not find much info.

Normal Technical\tIndicative PSLE score range of 2020: 25 - 26
Given that the COP have been more or less the same for the last 10+ years, I think that's the best 'feedback' and affirmation that you can receive. -

Frankly a good school doesn't need feedback. For those staying in the West/North, BPGHS is quite well known. I believe it's not difficult to get more feedbacks from parent if we really ask for. Also to be honest, humans tend to give negative feedback which is probably why we can't seem to find as many as you wanted. Imagine if we see 100 feedbacks from parents citing this school is so good, fantastic, no horse run etc., eventually we may tend to not believe. Just my thoughts. Cheers!

Actually, everything needs feedbacks. Doesn't matter if it is good or bad. If there is no feedback, how would we know how good or bad the thing is? How do we know that Raffles is a good school? Primarily because of feedbacks!
You are right in that we will have no idea about the truth of some feedback, but what is the likelihood that many feedbacks from different people is fake? And if the feedback comes from someone who has posted a lot on the site, you can be certain that he/she will definitely be willing to fight to protect the integrity of his/her posts.
I'm glad you have given a thumbs-up to BPGHS. There's one data point. We need to see more...

Just to kaypoh a bit…
The 2 most popular and reputable schools in the Northwest are BPGH and Swiss Cottage.
Has anyone done a comparison of both schools before? Please share the considerations if your child had to choose between the two. -

As an old boy of BPGHS (89 – 92), I read this thread with great interest. I recall fondly a famous saying of our ex-Principal Mr. Yar Yee Har ‘No need to talk, let them see results’. Pretty cool, isn't it?
Still it is indeed a valid feedback that reviews are seemingly not forthcoming at least in the context of this forum. In this regard, thank you @Pearl8 for this timely reminder.
The maxim of ‘every school, a good school’ aside, we know that excellent schools top the tables because they have excellent teaching allied to selection from relatively top notch PSLE candidates, aspiring to get into them. That's something excellent schools would all acknowledge and one just can't get into that cohort unless he/ she meet the indicated cut off point.
Hence, I suggest each BPian (what we call ourselves) aspirant and parents to look at what results schools have with their respective cohorts (ie) what does BPGHS and its multiple decades-old alumnus have actually accomplished in their respective fields. And whether the final findings indicate that there are enough plus points of BPGHS to spark a passionate 'YES to BPGHS' in each BPian aspirant.
From available stats as well as what I've experienced during my years in BPGHS, our school is very ok on both counts and definitely a good school and beyond. Of course, one will have to form his/ her own opinions as he/ she find out more about BPGHS, then the decision may seem easy!
