Understand Chong Fu is hard to get in and is under the Huay Kuan association.

O ya. I asked colleagues and they also mentioned ChongFu is affillated with an association or something. And they also mentioned Northland Pri has becoming quite good now due to a principle transferred over from a good school?

Understand Chong Fu is a school which drills students in Maths.

Nan Hua is at clementi

Nan Hua is GEP school. So their results may be highly dependent on these students. Putting all GEP students aside, what was the highest score for the past few yrs?


The above I believe applies to all GEP schools, not forgetting that 2010 top PSLE student from Rosyth was from the GEP. We definitely expect GEP students to perform better.

I will be more keen to know the highest marks of the non-GEP cohort in the GEP schools. However, I think quite difficult to get this information.

Personally, I think will be good if can get into a non-GEP but still popular and good school.

Hi Scary, may I ask what is a GEP school?

Hi Scary, may I ask what is a GEP school?

GEP = Gifted Education Programme. It's for selected students from P4-P6. The programme is run in 9 centres.

need help/advise from experienced parents…


which one is better:
1) current home >2km CHIJ OLQP, eligible for ph 2B (past history guaranteed in)
2) shift to TP area <1km CHIJ TP, eligible for ph 2B (past history guaranteed in)

in term of school "quality" (teachers, peers environment, secondary sch affiliation, etc) which one is better from the above 2 schools? i had the impression that TP is better than OLQP, is it true?

another question: if i were to shift <1km from St Nic (ph 2B), is it too risky? if not in, ph 2C Marymount convent. is it a good plan or a foolish one? anyone know how many ppl within <1km register to st nic on ph 2B last year, and how many space available on that phase?

many many thanks…
