Tulip:

I guess it depends on where you stay. It'll be a good school to put your kids in, if you are staying not too far away


Ultimately, it really depends on your school selection criteria as I believe you'll put a different weightage on each criterion.

All the best...I think you still have a few more years to decide, right?

i only have 1more yr to decide...i hope to decide earlier so I can make arrangement for the 2kids...

So far, I have not heard of any impending move. However, most schools should be slowly making the transition from double sessions to single session now and with the current facilities at KCPPS, they will not be ready for the change, thus it is a possibility that they may have to move to a temporary location whilst the school undergo upgrading or another location permanently altogether. Ha...maybe they will takeover GuangYang's premise as the school is seeing a very low take up rate; so far, only 38 registrants up till Phase 2C supplementary.

Dear KCPPS parents,


just wondering if any of you are PV ? if so, pls advice what are the tasks that are assigned to PV of current students ? what’s the commitment level, and frequency of meetings, etc ? do they assign tasks according to whether you are PV of student-to-be, or PV of current student, etc, etc.

will also like more info on the school culture, such as whether the Principal and the teachers very open to communication with parents, etc, etc.

as a whole, will you rate the school as more focused on academics, or on moral building of the students ?

Many thanks.

Hi yenoscar,

At one time, I was looking around for one too. The closest would be the CDC 3-in-1 student care which is in blk 186 and the YMCA in the next blk to the 3-in-1 BASC. Both are within walking distance to the school, thus you could see quite a number of KC students there. However, this centres do not provide tuition, just supervising on the child's school work and giving them assessments books to do. There are also some centres in Bishan North area. However, I don't like those in Bishan North area as the centres here are all housed in \"bomb shelthers\" in basements of void decks, giving that claustrophobic feel and no natural light.

Sorry, I can't give an assessment of the qualities of the abovementioned centres as I did not put my child in any as finally, I decided to just leave her in my in-laws care.
