hmmm.... feeling lonely here....

Hi emelyn,

don't be too lonely, k? let an alumni join you here.

My 2 sisters and I are ex-bpps and ex-bpghs. We spent our formative years there and subsequently graduated from the nus. bpps is an excellent school and yr child is in good hands.

Did you know the school used to be near the carpark beside ten-mile junction? Back then, on Saturdays when we had to take a public bus to school, we had trouble reaching for the bell (bells were on the ceiling of bus only and we were too short) and sometimes missed our stop. Sometimes, we would walk the 3 bus stops home to save ourselves the embarrassement.

Hi Mathsparks,


What you have just described… brings back memory !!
Yap. I remember the prev location of the school. In fact, everytime I pass by Ten Mile Junction… I will tell my 2 sons… "You know… last time your school was here… blah blah…" And they go…"Ma… you have said that many times already !!" LOL.

I used to stay in the old CCK. I went to Jalan Teck Whye Pri Sch. My sister and brother went to Nam San school… Then my parents realised that my sis and bro’s English was HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE… so moved my bro to BPPS when he was P6. (He and my younger sis are 5 yrs apart). But didn’t do it for my sis because v blur during her time.

Anyway… turn out to be ok lah. My sister now resides in Cambridge, England and speaks Queen’s English.


Hi ATST,

You can check out Adelfibel at Blk 438. My sons just started there. So, I can’t really give my assessment yet. But, according to a friend whose son is also there, that’s the only one that meets her criteria.

my dd is in P3 this year, I realised that there aren’t any cohort ranking in her report book in P1 & P2… and if i rem correctly there aren’t even class ranking… would there be ranking info in P3’s report book?

Hi Keroppi30,

there is no ranking (class level nor cohort level) on the report book from P1 to P6. If your child is invited to the prize giving ceremony, then she is top 3 in the class. However, if you check with the teacher, most of the times they will tell you. DS1's P3 teacher told the children who are in the top 20. Teachers will also announce in the class what is the highest, average and lowest marks for each subj. But, provided your child pays attention and jotted it down in the first place. DS1 usually can't tell us all these information.

Hi ATST, my 2 boys are in Adelfibel in Blk 438. Not near the school but there is a very nice private school bus uncle who will pick them up after CCA... at the cost of 50c per trip. ( But not sure whether next yr will increase price or not.)
