Hi,

I am thinking of enrolling DS in GMSP. Any feedback on the school? Thanks.

Hi Sourfish,

My son is in GMS, P2 this year. THat time, I was stuggling between Red Swastika and GMS. I was ex-girl at Red Swastika but GMS is only within walking distance for us. We made the last minute decision to pull out from Red Swastika and enrolled for GMS during Phase 2C.

So far I have no regrets in my decision. The the school is ok and my son is coping well. What I like about this school is the PAL program which they introduced last year. The PAL program introduces various activities like badminton, hip hop dancing, swimming, cartoon drawing, gymnastics etc. for the students during the 1st 3 terms of the year to expose them. The courses are subsidised by the school, so they are not expensive.

Last time for us, where got such things, right

However, my son don't seem to have much homework during P1 and P2. But I heard it will be different during upper primary.

But I believe, a good teacher and parent involvement really makes a lot of difference.

Thanks for your feedback. So far are you happy with the teachers? I too believe that the teacher is the one who matters… You registered at 2C? Balloting?

So far I am ok with his teacher P1 & P2 form teachers.


We did not ballot at 2C cos no ballot required within 1 km.

You mean there is balloting for those who stay more than 2 km ?

For the past few years as well as this year, those who stay more than 2 km will have no chance to ballot. Balloting is only for those staying between 1 to 2 km.

Hi…my son will be going to GMPS nx yr. I went in thru Phase 2B. Did the 40 hours of parent volunteer. It’s good to do PV cos you can see the school better and get to know the teachers and also students. My hb did the PV together wt me and he had a good feel of the school too!
