Bukit Panjang Primary

hi, mummy of 3,


my dd is in 1G…i dont have the timetable yet… heard from my neighbour kids , they have 2 days of PE…i just bought 2 set each…but
now i am also not too sure 2 sets pe and uniform are enough cos our dds have to change back to uniform after pe…kind of troublesome…

perhaps, dagong99 can share how many sets are enough…

while doing PV in the school, have spoken to 2 male chinese teachers indeed v friendly…

wonder if 1G chinese teacher is also a MALE…

My DS1 is P6 this year, now waiting for his PSLE results. DS2 is P3 this year but is going to change school as he opts to go GEP. However, we only choose 1 GEP school instead of 3, so if the school does not have enough places, we will still keep DS2 in BPPS & opt out of GEP since BPPS will groom those in the top 3 classes. My DS1 is a good example. He is in the best class & among the top few, so he was given ample opportunities to participate in most academic based competitions, seminars, contests, learning journeys, etc. That's why we are a bit hesistant in sending my DS2 to GEP as he will then be a \"small fish in the big ocean\", so opportunities for him maybe lesser as he will need to compete with the rest of the GEP students, thereby limiting his exposure. If your kid is basically good in studies, BPPS is a good choice as they will really \"push\" the \"good\" ones to their fullest potential. Another thing we like about BPPS is that it really \"drill\" them for PSLE, especially if your kid is in P5 & P6. Overall, we like the school very much. As for their standard, this year the P6's prelim results are very good, heard from DS1, quite a few got 270 to 280+. But then we still need to see the actual PSLE results on this coming thursday ....

The principal was previously from Gan Eng Seng Pri if I didn't remember wrongly. Actually I prefer the current principal. As for the staff turnover, I think is common and we may not know, some of the turnover maybe due to MOE transfer or other personal reasons, etc. There are also some teachers who had been with the school for many years. I was there last Friday during the Prize Giving Ceremony and there were quite a number of staff working there for more than 10 years, receiving their long service award. One of my ex-classmates there is a good example.

2 sets should be fine if your kid does not \"sweat\" a lot and you do washing once a week. Anyway, the kids grow very fast, so you may not know, you need to buy again by year end
