Like what the principal of RMPS said, there is no bad school - just schools with different areas of focus.


Hi QMS,

I think this statement was generally make by all Principal of those 77 schools that conducted balloting yesterday. Guess you should be receiving your confirmation slip from the school regarding the oridentation.

I think the P1 Camp maybe could be just a 1 day event.

According to the principal, Kellock is not keen on having a few brilliant individuals to bring glory to the sch. That's probably why there's hardly any top student making the headlines in the past... Their approach are more of a \"nobody left behind\" policy.

Hi Shadowplay!

Actually, there was one year in which the PSLE top scholar from NYPS originally came from CHIJ Kellock. She got into the GEP and transferred out of NYPS. Hence, it may not be a case of \"there's hardly any top student making the headlines in the past\". Maybe the top students produced by CHIJ Kellock all went to a GEP school? :?

Thanks, Titank.

Any idea about RVPS? I think they are more focus on higher Chinese? Am I correct?

Had heard some parents regret transfering to GEP Schools where now the child struggle very badly esp like in Tao Nan, Henry Park etc

So are we given a choice not to transfer to GEP? In this case the existing school would rather focus on their top student & aim good results in PSLE?

My nephew was given a chance to GEP when he was Pri 3 but my sister in law would prefer to let him continue with the same Pri school perhaps she dpesn't want his son to feel the stress.
