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? :?

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.

In P1 1st semester, all pupils do normal Chinese, thru' various assessments and leading to SA1, students are then placed accordingly into Higher Ch, Enrichment classes etc. in 2nd semester. Higher Ch students who do not fare well in SA2 will be asked to do normal Chinese in the following year. Likewise, those doing normal Chinese who do well enough will be asked if they want to go to Higher Chinese class. This is the system in RVPS.

Hi Shadowplay,


Many thanks for the infor on CHIJ Kellock.

I was always contemplating on whether to send my DD to the popular schools near my place or sending her to my alma mater - CHIJ.

I was told by one of the interviewers during my PV interview with one of the popular/top school recently that Kellock offers a good study environment & gym and why am i not sending my gal there ? I told them its because of the proximity to the sch & all the blah blah :lol: And of course, i wasn't successful in my interview :oops:

With what you hv mentioned and what i've observed fm my DD, CHIJ kellock will be a suitable school for her. I look forward to seeing her in my previous white & blue uniform , thanks.
