sorry… can i check if guangyang is a clan school too?

schools like peichun, aitong, cat high, all like need connections to get in… dun want my boy to suffer rejection b4 he even started school.

from my mum-in-law, guangyang is a good school with caring teachers, but how is it compared to kheng cheng and first tpy?

guangyang is not a clan school nor is 1st TPY.


Kheng Cheng is a clan school.

there is usually no problem getting into guangyang, even at phase 3. GY is a little like international sch, with kids of different nationalities because vacancies are still available after phase 2C, thus allowing foreigners to apply.

international sch? most of my friends tell me tat a lot of schools nowadays have a lot of international students. china and malaysia used to be the norm, now i heard many came from vietnam, cambodia, philippines and so on. wouldnt it affect the results? esp for English and Chinese?

how is guangyang's chinese results? my boy's chinese cannot make it one... if got so many foreigners in the school, i think he sure fail!

Hi!


I would like to find out as the P1 registration is just a couple of months away, What is the chances like for Aitong and Kuo Chuan?

Which other school is the most preferred choice should the above schools cant get in? Im pretty worried!!!

I also understand that there are many international students in GYPS, is it a good thing?

How far is your house from these schools?

Perhaps you would like to give yourself a self-intro at the Newbie thread? It's a SOP in KSP.com.

Hi!


My house is 2KM outside the 2 preferred school.

[meiah]

Then not likely to have a chance. Aitong ballot within 1km at 2C and Kuo Chuan usually ballot at 1-2km.

[NYmummy]

HUH?? You mean Aitong ballot within 1km?? Gosh… So what other school will you guys recommend around my area???


I heard from a friend that Guangyang Pri got the Good Progress school
(or something along this line) award. What does it mean? In one of the post, i also notice that one parent mentioned that GYPS has alot of international students, is it a bad thing?

Oh gosh. need your advise please
