There is a student care call The Kidz Club at Lorong Kilat (5mins drive fr school). Please call 64646468 to enquire. My DS (now in P1) is currently there. They provide transport from school to student care and also for CCA as well.

My DS is very happy there. Pace of school work is also manageable for working mothers and kids since its only P1. I like the school because of its multi racial component. Yes, the school is our first choice due to distance from home.

Hi,

Can any parents with children attending BTPS share as to why there are so many vacancies in comparison to the other schools in BT Phase 2C?
One of the parents shared that the school was quite "cosmopolitan". Can anyone share what is the mix of nationalities?
We are thinking of enrolling my daughter to BTPS, and would like to understand a bit more about it.

Thanks.

1-2km for PHPPS seems very tough luck as of yesterday. If too competitive I'll be registering my DS to BTPS as 2nd best choice and within 1km.

Hi mummies which schools did you still manage to transfer out to after the registration? Trying to see if I can put my DS on waitlist.

You showed interest in PHPPS, you can put your name in their waitlist. Mine is a girl's school.

Sorry, something wrong with my pm so I will post the bit about cosmopolitan here.

I have observed there are students from man nationalities in the school. So far in son’s class I known a family from Australia, one whose mum is a Vietnamese and another family who’s Indonesian. Of course there are other nationalities(from the school newsletter on racial harmony day last year). The downside is that chinese will be a tad weaker as most of the kids are quite "potato", but there are lots of programmes to encourage reading and writing in chinese and english.

There are plenty of Singaporeans in the schools, mostly staying around the area and might not have the chance to get into their "choice" schools due to the competitive registration and balloting systems.

But
