[Bukit Panjang] Primary Schools

True, BPPS still is the most popular school here. Also BCPS is not tested yet. Once the first batch writes their PSLE and if they happen to do well, interest in the school will explode.

patntee:

Maybe they didn't manage to complete the hours. And many parents still want to go for BPPS as their first choice. Parents will be more cautious after this year where even PVs were balloted out at BPPS due to large intake from earlier phases and the large number of PVs too.

For a child born in 2007, registration for P1 will be in 2013 right? So you will need to complete your 40 hours between June 2012 and June 2013. Just call the school in early 2012 to reconfirm your interest. Although if you want, you can also volunteer now just to get a feel of the school so that if you feel your decision about BCPS is not right, you can always stop and instead volunteer elsewhere.

Can anyone comment on Zhenghua Primary? Wonder why the take up rate was relatively low during Phase 2C…Thanks in advance.

Bcoz most of them will choose BPPS, GRPS and BCPS as their 1st choice then WVPS and ZHPS will be their P2C Supp choice... :imcool:

Of the two I think ZHPS will get full faster as compared to WVPS which then goes to the foreigners!


You missed CHIJ in the list of popular schools

Thanks mummy of 3! Was wondering if curriculum at ZHPS is not as ideal as BCPS, that’s why parents prefer to go for BCPS…

Thanks brownbelt, any idea how the school allocate our kids to the individual class ? Will they be given any test to determine which class they go ?

i believe there is no specific groupings yet for P1. when it comes to P2, pupils are set to individual class according to their academic performance in P1. Classes like Respect, Humility will be the so-called best classes, with Diligence being at the lowest. There is no formal announcement to this though, just informal information from students.
