[Bukit Merah] Primary Schools

[qms]

Rena:

Are u also staying ard telok blangah ht area?

No, I don't stay anywhere there. In fact, BRPS is the furthest from my house, among all the schools in Bt Merah area.

Rena:

Does the sch let u go in and view? BRPS premises is rather new over there...but it not impressive loh..

Actually, I went to the Henderson Waves bridge, and there was one section that overlooked BRPS. I had a bird's eye view of the school, and everything seemed new. :oops:

Rena:

Hav u been to GESP or RM? I wanna go in to take a look but don't know whether the school allow ? and also due to H1N1...GESP open house is postphoned...

I have been to RM and GESPS.

RM didn't have open house, but I went there last year during the Phase 2B registration. I went on a Saturday, so there wasn't many staff there to \"stop\" me from \"wandering\" around. Only managed to see the staff office, classrooms on the ground floor and the canteen. The campus is old (built in 1984). Walkway was quite dim. I went to the toilet in the canteen, and I was :!: . Didn't go beyond that, though. I think BRPS and RM may be two extremes.

As for GESPS, I went there last year during the supposedly open house. I thought it was an open house, but I had difficulty finding a staff to answer my questions then. It seemed like a carnival event to me. But apparently, according to Lill, it WAS open house. The facilities there were new. The children looked happy, and based on the information provided by Lill, the school does have some interesting CCAs. The open house by Zhang De was more structured, comparatively. But, GESPS wasn't that bad either.

Hi Rena!


No problem at all! That’s what this forum is all about - sharing information.

Actually, if you are registering for your daughter, and you have daughters only, you may want to try CHIJ Kellock. Last year, all those who stayed within 2 km got in without balloting. This year, the school didn’t reduce its intake either.

That's another plus point for GESPS - the school has BASC!

Hi qms

if u going for RM - you can consider the student care at Telok blangah height under PAP student care.
