The top boy in my school used to take a ferry every morning to my school as he stayed in Pulau Ubin or something. To say I’m impressed is an understatement!

Thank you so much for the prompt reply 😀We’ll try to find alternative transport then. It’ll be quite wasted to give up TNS as my Wife is ex-student, but at the same time we’re trying to avoid too much travelling for our kid

I used to stay in SengKang when my #1 was in P1. We exhausted all options (car pooling/bus pool etc...).

Most bus drivers won’t commit to the route at this stage esp if you live a distant, until close to end of the year right before your kid goes to school (nerve wrecking I know!) What I did was call most of the bus vendor that goes nearest to NE, just to make an enquiry first. They will likely say no now. But call again in October/November when they have a better idea of how many kids they have confirmed. If they fall short of their quota, they will go the distance even to Hougang!

My #1 took the bus for one term before we decided to move to the east though.

No. But many will probably end up in the BICEP class.
Those who do well in either English or Math or both but did not qualify for the GEP programme, the Gifted Education Branch (GEB) will provide the a list to recommend them for high ability programme/s for Math or/and English.
