      why are people obsessed with which school the so-called celebrities' kids are in ?

      why the 'fetish' with them ?
      True. Like my friend once told me \"What's the big deal about them?\"...

          I wonder did NYPS tell her that there is practically no hope for >2km balloting under 2B when she signed up for volunteer.

          They couldn't.

                phtthp:

                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.

                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 agree...
                To me, any of the top 20 kids could have been the TOP student.....the very TOP student in PSLE is usually a lucky play, right time, right place, right marker....etc....

                    My cousin’s daughter was from Nanyang Primary. Doesn’t seem that difficult to get in.
