hougang mum:

heard from one of the teachers that it will be single session from 2011 hopefully but not in 2010. my dd2 will also be in P1 next year.

I noticed they cut down 2 classes from 300 seats to 240 seats this year. Perhaps this is a transition to single session.

But honestly, I like my boy being in afternoon session... segegrated from upper primary. So he only mix with his peers and have their own assembly session and such...

Hi..my boy is also in Pri 1 this year and i also like the idea for the pri 1 segegrated from the upper pri...

Hi kkgb,
Rosyth is definately hard to get in from the review here and there, I guess it's due to their GEP status.

I suppose anderson & HGP is of the same level... normal neigbourhood school? I can't give you any review of Anderson but I'm quite happy with HGP so far (elder son in P2 this year) to see him enjoying going to school everyday.

Hi dyjofrajo,

How's you kid doing in PSLE? I can see from HGP website that the top student score 267 this year.

Hope your wish come true!

Hi Chinese Tutor,
From my experience, the school are quite tough on the students. The lower primary do mischief (my boy :)) at times but the teachers really make it a point to address the issue. eg. send them to General office for \"talking\"... hahaha

As for PV, I didn't do any so can't really tell u to go or not to go. However if you're staying >1km from HGP, I think PV is the only way for you to get in coz balloting is required for applicants within 1km for the past years..
