I am glad I found someone who thinksthe same way as me rgdg top schs. I wonder why many fail to see that the schs r top because they have all the gifted stdents.not becos they hv super teachers or curriculum. If we put all the gep classes into guangyang, gy will also be top sch. All the time n money that goes into getting priority status seems a bit wasteful when u realise the sch is not perfect.

Exactly! These GEP programme has made some of the top school's figures look better, while most people don't realise that some of these top students in these schools are actually came from the neighbourhood schools. It's kind of unfair as people don't realise how much efforts neighbourhood teachers have put in for these childs in the early phase of their education life!

i think most ppl understand this.. it is the same if gov decide to move a few top pri sch to far north or far west, the properties there will definitely go up too..

in some cases, only those who qualify for GEP but rejected the offer and stay in their sch may have a chance to outshine the GEP sch in PSLE....

i also believe if a child is bright no matter where he goes he will shine...

Hi all,


I am new. Registered my son for Cat High and waiting for balloting on Fri. Would like your opinion on what should I do should my son fail to get a place on Fri? How is the standard at Kuo Chuan Presbyterian? Thank you.

Hi Katarina,


If u failed in the balloting, u will be in the last phase. By end of Phase 2C (S), there won’t be any more vacancies for KCPPS. Only GYPS will, and no one wants to get into this school though.

Hi Everyone,


Anyone got any good student care to recommend for KCPPS? Also what are the rates for the sch bus from St. 12 to KCPPS? Please advise. Thanks!!!

Thank you all for ur well-wishes and support. It's v comforting.


Now have to sit tight and wait for Fri. Any other parent going to AT on Fri for balloting? We KSP parents can sit together for support

I m moving to Bishan soon. Any feedback on Marymount convent? And how come nobody want to go to Guangyang? Is it a rowdy school?

Hi Kippletoon,


Sorry for my late reply. Thanks for your encouragement. Im really wish you good luck.

My parents in law keep asking me go to ATS & try out balloting. Bcos they just stay my next block.

This P1 registration just like stock market, I become more & more kan cheong for my P2C registration…cos the vacancies is very less only 19. If I take the risk and can’t get in how….and by the time will still have vacancies for KCPPS???

But Im very very worry I make the wrong move.

Hi there. We may be neighbours then.

Historically KCPPS conducts balloting within 2km for 2C. We are outside of 2km so we may not have a chance to ballot if this year follows this trend.

Best of luck
