though HPPS is GEP school, but has not produced Top student so far in past few years.


same goes for - ACS, Catholic high, Nan Hua, Tao Nan GEP schools.

so far, the GEP schools that had produced Top students are Rosyth, St Hilda, Nanyang and RGPS.

St James kindergarten is a playground for kids of rich TaiTai, mediacorp artistes, doctors practioners, lawyers, bankers aiming for primary schools like … Nanyang, ACS, SCGS, etc.


they like St James because it is a place whereby besides allowing their kids to learn, also a place for them to network socially amongst themselves. Also, many parents like the curriculum, bec it is learn through play and exploratory method type. For kids at this age 3-6, this method works well.

another drawing attraction is St James kindy has got a list of enticing and very good enrichment programmes, at the kindergarten premises.

Honestly, I think it's splitting hairs to compare which schools have produced the top PSLE student. It's just the one student. That student may be exceptionally bright with a lot of support from his parents/tuition centre etc. His achievements may not be all attributable to the school. Also, it's not that many points that separate the top student from the top 10-20 students identified by MOE.

I think they should just build a "Celebrity School" so all their kids can enroll in.

Ummm, someone should tell Vivian Lai that SHHK members are NOT guaranteed recommendation letters, neither are they guaranteed entry into the school.
