We are just wanting a convenient school for my son. BTPS is 7km away, dunno how much time we r going to spend on the road each day. Sigh...superduperks:
I am emphasizing here that all cheaters should be caught! This is how NYPS suddenly have two more seats made available for Phase 2Cians. A good job done indeed which I think MOE or schools have to spend more effort in and if possible, introduce more severe penalty terms that can scare away all these cheaters including PRs.
it is entirely possible someone withdraw from earlier phases.
not everyone who qualifies are crazy over NYPS -
Does anyone know the history of BTPS?
Was talking to a neighbour whose nephew is a doctor and he went to BTPS and then onto RI before heading for med school. -

The convenient school is NYPS? Do you know that their P1 and P2 will be moving to Toh Tuck in 2013, not too far from BTPS?
Yes, I do agree with you. We also want the nearest school for DS which happens to be a popular school too. Think govt may even need to relook at Phase 1 and 2A as many live out of 2km, some as far as the east side and even across the causeway. -

Bukit Timah Pri used to called Bukit Batok Pri 30 years ago. There are many hidden talents (teachers) in BTPS according to a friend who did her bond after NIE.

those who fail to ballot to enter MGS or SCGS and are placed on waitlist, eventually which one easier to transfer in - MGS or SCGS ?
i heard from friends many tried to transfer into ACS.
The pile of requests from parents seeking transfer into ACS pile up mountain high. They said very hard ā¦ you can literally count by your fingers the number of openings available. Moreover the school pick the best to transfer in. -
one can examine PSLE results of BTPS to confirm.

I don't think either is easier to transfer into. It's really dependent on movement of existing students - ie if any leave for other schools or take LOA because the parents are posted overseas.those who fail to ballot to enter MGS or SCGS and are placed on waitlist, eventually which one easier to transfer in - MGS or SCGS ?

The best time to transfer to any school is at the end of P3 when students move out to other schools for GEP. -

I've heard the same from neighbours whose kids go to BTPS. Apparently the HOD for Science is very good and the kids enjoy their science lessons. Even spents time personally tutoring the kids. Thats what you call a dedicated teacher :imcool:
