Secondary Schools Information in West Area

kklau:

Hi,


would like seek some good advice on Bukit Panjang Government High School and now are consider choosing among BPGH/Swiss Cottage Secondary School/Kranji Secondary School.

Any information on subjects offering option, class size and CCA will be helpful.

Thanks you. :salute:

hello!
BPGHS - very strong in academics. Strong military band. Offers more subjects than normal schools do such as Malay literature, economics, etc.

Kranji - known for hard drilling on students. Strong in badminton.

Swiss - well established school known across Singapore. Strong in arts CCA such as CO and band.

Class size is up to discretion of principal.
So far, because it is a dragon year, each school might open at least one extra class.

Hope this helps!

Regent didn't start off with a good reputation and with low COP. I didn't actually witness it but I heard ppl talking abt students behaving like gangsters etc. That was several years ago. Things seem to have changed in recent years.


I overheard one of my kid's primary school teacher talking to a parent. She has a girl in Regent (don't know what year). At first the parent said Regent not so good but the teacher said she is actually quite impressed with the school now. Apparently the school has improved since a new principal took over. She said that the principal makes it a point to get to know the students and to talk to them. And her girl is doing well there too (maybe the 'big fish in small pond' thing).

Guess it is hard to reverse ppl's view of the school so quickly.

My girl already said if her results are poor, she'd rather go to BPGH to do N(A).

Yes indeed!
I have met pupils who are full of praises of Regent too recently.
A big change I must say. Very.
Seems like they are very much into character development now.
